AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I just spent an hour and a half writing an email to y'all and the computer shut off!!!!I am not sure that I have the inner strength to not be quite upset. It was a wonderful letter.....oh well. I believe that the Lord would like to see how I react to this situation, and thus, I know I can succeed because He knows I will :) I do happen to have a copy of my letter to President ...I'll just stick that in here:Hi President. I am very happy. It is was neat to see that this past week's letter was on the topic of being happy since that is exactly what I've been focusing on this week.Sis. Carpenter and I are definitely seeing many of our purposes in being here in Troy. This past week, we met a vietnamese man, and I was able to speak a little vietnamese with him. He agreed to be taught :) Also, just yesterday, we came across a deaf man and Sis. Carpenter was able to communicate with him! Cool huh?! ANyways, life is good, and we are continuing to seek out those whom we agreed to find.Also, I wanted to tell you that I had my 1st crash on my bike yesterday...I am so proud :) haha-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now to this I will elaborate ...if I have time.I was biking along(down a busy street)and decided to hop a curb. Unfortunately, I clenched down on the brakes at the same time. I ate it. I fell off, having a special greeting from the pavement. My skirt decided to betray me allowing my legs to say hello to the world...lovely.I came out with a bloody chin, bruises, and the visor on my helmit bent down over my face.. I believe I must have been an instrument in the hands of God to make somebody driving down the street have a wonderful laugh thus having a wonderful day...Me and Sis. Carpenter laughed our tails off. WE've been having a lot of fun biking ordeals hahaI'mgoing to send this incase it shuts off again......and finish with another.........
okay I'm back....Also, I was the 1st victim to try out our washer/dryer. It seems the previous occupant liked bleach.......AHHH MANNN A lot of my clothes were messed. How is everyone? I'm sorry that Y'all have been sick. I'm also sorry about the theft. One would think that you'd have double the blessings for having two missionaries out. However, I have full confidence in His designs. This is a wonderful time for you. He is showing you His great trust and love by allowing you these experiences. He shapes us into beings as He is. The great Refiner. As His well loved and adored children, we are to wade through trial, tribulation, pain, heartache, disappointment...the mud of life and the path that leads to our dear Father. I know that as you plead for His aid, you will feel His presence and power. You will feel him walking beside you, His arms encircled about you. Did He not promise us from the beginning that He would be with us? As we did long ago, let us choose Him again, our Savior, Redeemer, Friend, Rescuer, and Finisher of our Faith. Dearest family let us go out in the power of His spirit and bring to pass His great works. I believe in you; my full confidence is yours. He wants you to suceed.
Love always,
Bonnie, Sister Colvin
gimme gimme,uh..... I badly need LOTS of sheet music. The Lord desires that I use my singing to reach many of His children. I need all kinds..different styles...not everyone loves opera....Even some Josh Groban, ray boltz, Jessie Clark, Michelle Tumes( or tombs), hillary weeks, mark shultz music.....also different cultures would help too....especially polynesian, asian, latino, black or negro spirituals. This is IMPORTANT...if y'all could please help and SOON, that would be wondrous!!! Thank you!!! MY NEW ADDRESS : Troy, Al 36081
