HI

Hey y'all. I am so amazed by Jakey & Ammon ( or as Rose would say "Ammo" ); they can write such long letters. I have no talent in that area. I think its funny that when Pres. Hall set us apart, he gave jake counsel on remembering to write letters home. Ha ha, oh well.Anyways, I would like to thank mi familia for sending the easter fun pkg....the bunny was cute and everyone was perplexed by the " candy grass". I have some stuff to send to y'all at home & stuff I have to send out to the two Elders. So be looking for it in either a few days or a few weeks...you never know.We had a gorgeous week by the way.This week, I got to be in a parade. Our "float" consisted of a little red ford escort w/ Sis. Furner waving at people, Sis. Benfield standing up through the sun roof holding an LDSSA sign (it stands for Latter Day Saint Student Association), and me running around outside the car passing out pass-along cards to people on the sidewalk.....man you should have seen it. I know I looked so funny out there, and we were blasting the Mormon tabernacle choir! hahaYou know what's funny I only got rejected by women....which, is actually quite normal. Women in general do not seem to respond the best to sister missionaries. Men, on the other hand, generally have a more postitive response...( probably vice versa for elders...right jake& Ammon?) anyways this leads me into my next point....satan has been waging a huge war on the female gender( JST Rev 12...can represent this). This we know. He has upgraded his armament and subtley increased his attacks . I have been amazed to see ( even in my lifetime) how much damage he has done to the women of the earth. It has never been harder to be a righteous woman as now. The question posed in Prov. 31, " Who can find a virtuous woman?", is quite legitimate. There is such a need for good women it is frightening. In my experience, it has been surpirisingly difficult to get the woman in the family to commit to change. Woman are becoming increasingly more aggressive while men are assuming a submissive role.Sadly, this is nothing new...we've been seeing this for some time now.I would like to echo Sis. Beck in saying that it is my belief that we as latterday saint women need to stand strong and immovable. The definition of a woman is being lost in today's society, and we should feel it our duty to be that pattern & model. Let us stand and be defenders of womanhood, a thing most sacred to the Father.I hope to be the woman God intended. Thanks to my Mother and all my other good women for showing me the way. I love you mom.
LOVE SIS. COLVIN
