I am called of God. My authority is above that of kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my master and He has chosen me to represent Him--to stand in His place, to say and do what He Himself would say and do if He personally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me. My voice is His voice, and my acts are His acts; my doctrine is His doctrine. My Commission is to do what He wants done; To say what He wants said; to be a living modern witness in word and in deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous Latter-day work. How great is my calling! • My Missionary Commission • Elder Bruce R. McConkie •

LETTER: Elder Colton Nunley • October 3rd, 2011

Subject: Re: Dad's Pregnant!!! (He thinks my "subjects" are stupid, so he told me to put that there!)

hey family,

you are soo right conference this weekend was super awesome

so the people i said were gonna go didnt all go but we did have 13 people who went !!! and in our district we had 56 and the members brought 14 people and in the zone we had 92 investigators in conference and members brought 29 in total!!! that was super awesome and all of ours that went loved it and said they will be waiting for us in the house haha cuz they wanna hear more. i think my absolute favorite talk was by the elder that talked about the need of the book of mormon haha wow that talk was so awesome for investigators.

oh so normally in the mission we have about 300 investigators in church every sunday but this weekend we had about 650 in conference!!!! so the president is super stoked and acutally he is getting all of us together today at 11 and he told us not to bring any books just a bag of sports clothes....... miracles do happen haha for real this is something suuuuper strange but im pumped.

oh at conference i saw a family from my first ward in the mission in delicias and it was way good to see them haha they actually told me of the nick name that the ward gave me that i didnt know about when i was there. they said they all called me Sonrisa Colgate haha which is colgate smile.. they called me that cuz they said i was always super quiet and when they would talk to me all i would do is smile haha (thats cuz i didnt understand much haha) but i was glad to know that i still smiled alot haha.

i had a list of 7 questions for this conference and every single one was answered. i loved the talk by barbara thompson and i am super stoked to read the liahona and study it up!! my life is so awesome and i am so extremely blessed. coming on the mission is the absolute best thing that i have or will ever do in my life. thanks to everyone who was an example to me and for grandmas and grandpas who stayed firm in the faith so that i could have this blessing in my life. i love this gospel so stinkin much and it is absolutely ridiculous that i have 11 months out here today.

haha i love you all so much and i hope you know i am better than ok here.
