Wardrobe Malfunctions!


Hello Dear Family,
Life is so beautiful! The work is great, and our companionship is great. I have found ready power in prayer. Since one can only do so much in their particular reach and sphere, it is wonderful to be able to call upon Him who reaches all things and covers every angle. I really do trust Him. It would be silly not to. Fei told us last night that she would like to be baptized on November 1st. She is amazing in our lessons, understanding with perfection.
We have also had a lot of success in tracting this week! One such success was our meeting Stacy yesterday. Stacy turned out to be a member who fell away at 14. She said she'd like to come back. Not only this, but she is married to a man from Vietnam (Junior). Junior is cousins with Vincent, who is the 1st person I met in Troy( which was really significant to me having just left Trang in Theodore, also Vietnamese). Interestingly enough, a few months ago we tracted into Junior and Vincent's grandma (Mary), who let us in a few times. It was so amazing to just "happen" to meet Stacy! I had been thinking about that Vietnamese family a lot recently. They don't even live near eachother!
So they say that a mission is like a mini life. When you first come out your like a baby. Well, I am definitely in my GRANNY stages. I've been having many "senior moments" lately, and many of them have to do with wardrobe malfunctions.
It all started at zone conference, when I came out of the bathroom with my dress tucked in the back. I walked in front of a whole line of elders and one of the senior sisters ran to me and told me of the problem. I looked up and saw a bunch of elders with their hands over their mouths, in shock no doubt!
A few days later, I just finished talking to Elder Carlisle when I was informed that my shirt had a button undone in a not-so-good place....(hand covering face).
A few days later, we were knocking on someone's door when I was informed by my companion and the member we were with that I had forgotten to zip up the back of my skirt (it has a button and then a zipper just below it which runs down the center). I remembered the button just not the zipper! What an embarrassing place to have a zipper down!Not only this, but I had forgotten to pull up one of my stockings!(one up , one down)
......the story of this skirt continues a few days later......... We had just changed from doing service at a member's house, and I was again wearing that blasted skirt..... Now get this, I was bent over, picking something up and Sister Ryan comes behind me and says, " Let me get that zipper for you." She then zipped up my skirt! Ahhhh! There is no end to my embarrassing stories it seems!
Well I hope y'all enjoyed that. I hope to get many letters this week!
love Sister Colvin
