Colie updated with pictures



Well, the song isn't really the one I would have liked, but oh well, it talks a lot about glory and hallelujah and has some great banjo music. "To a land where joy will never end" and "God's celestial shore"....just pretend it's about dying to this earthly vanity and finding the joy in missionary work! Gotta work with me here.
These are of course from the MTC. When she sends me the ones from the field I'll do another update. It's really nice that she can write all of us with one email, and I know that you all are keeping in touch with her, so you all get a good mark!

Hmph. I miss Colie.

I liked that picture of the Elder's jackets. Also what's the story with the torn letter? Who was it from?
Oh and I like the song.

Great pictures. Knowing Colie, I am sure there is a story behind nearly every picture. A very funny, animated story. Colie is the most dedicated missionary I have ever known.

Natalie: The letter was from Dad, and it arrived with that huge hole in the middle. She was pretty disgusted with the mail system...."I think someone must have taken a huge bite out of the letter, I hope his hunger was satisfied!" She said she was able to piece together what Dad had written just because she knew him so well!
