With Lots of Love From Texas by Summer and Melody Chapin NOTICE: If you are a new subscriber wondering about our policies, then please don't fail to read this article! Tuesday / September 30, 1997 DEAR Sisters, How truly you are our dear, dear sisters! Does that sound silly? Does that sound too emotional? Somehow our hearts feel strangely warmed when we think of you all... After getting to know so many of you through the personal letters you’ve written to us, we feel we can honestly address you as dear sisters. You may have already noticed that Melody and I have decided to make this issue a little differently. -For one thing, we felt it would be best to combine and re-title “Dear Sisters” and “Days At Our Home” into this one article, in order that we may make room for a special article entitled “Gifts From God -Meet the Duke Family” which you will read later on in this issue. One other thing you will notice different about this issue, is that it contains 56 numbered pages instead of the official 32-36 pages. Perhaps you are wondering why we have lengthened the pages of this issue? ....Or maybe you’ve already guessed why. Yes, it is because we have taken so many months in getting this long overdue issue printed (over 5 months to be exact!). Oh sisters, you can’t imagine how we’ve agonized and agonized over being so late! Whenever Melody would even mention it to me, I would turn my head and say, “Please let’s not talk about it!” It was just too painful to think about. We could both picture all of you (subscribers) sitting at home wondering, “Well, has my address been deleted from Summer and Melody’s computer or have my issues been getting lost in the mail?.....Hmm.” (Some of you even subscribed 2 or 3 times in succession because you thought you had forgotten to subscribe before!) And we could also see all of those who had ordered sample issues and back issues wondering whether or not their requests had ever even reached us. What was so painful was that we couldn’t let all of you know why you weren’t getting your issues! (Since sending out the Jan.-March issue of “YWSH”, we have been literally swamped with requests for back issues. Needless to say, we quickly ran out of copies, and after making more up, we quickly ran out again! Also, because of the many requests, we are afraid that we may have misplaced some of them. We will be, LORD WILLING, sending out all back issues requested to date by November 1, 1997. If you don’t receive your ordered back issues at least by November 10, please notify us, and we will see what we can do.) And not only are we behind on printing “YWSH” magazine, (as well as being out of back issues and sample issues), but we are also behind on copying up and sending out our Psalm booklets and 10 cassette headcovering series which we have advertised in the last 4 issues of “YWSH”. You see, we usually buy materials in bulk to make up our headcovering series and our Psalm tapes and booklets. To buy in bulk means that we get more materials at a cheaper price, but it also means that we have to have enough money to place such large orders... Therefore, we have to wait until our “funds” build up sufficiently to make any orders at all! The end result of all this is that even those of you who are sending us donations are sometimes having to wait for long periods of time to receive requested items, even after we’ve already cashed your checks! Horrors! This, too, is agonizing to think about! Please forgive us, and be patient with us, if this has happened to you. There’s just not much we can do to prevent it at the moment. But, back to being so late with “YWSH” magazine... Lest any of you be tempted =) to think that the reason we are so late with this issue is because we added extra pages, let me assure you that it didn’t really take long to put together once we were actually able to sit down and do it! I (Summer) must both chuckle and cringe as I think of the many times I’ve sat down to write and then rewrite the pages for this article. It seems that I would sit down to write, in hopes that it was just about time to print the next issue, when suddenly, BANG!... the computer would go out on us, or an especially busy time of the month would hit, or a Texas heat wave would come sweeping through our sun-exposed house trailer, thus drenching both Melody and I in sweat and limiting our much needed concentration! (Only our livingroom is halfway air-conditioned when we block it off with thick blankets, and I feel almost certain that our “computer room” has reached over 110 degrees at times. We call it our sauna bath.=)) At one point, Melody and I were lugging our computer into the living room every single day so that we could work in front of the air-conditioner. However, the computer soon tired of such treatment, and one day when I was in the middle of editing a graphic, it suddenly went out on us like a light... And this is the way things have gone all summer long. The computer would be down on us for a month and then fixed the next month just in time for Dad and Tommy to say that they needed it to work on some business project. Then it would be down again! So, it’s been rather frustrating to say the least. However, deep down inside, Melody and I know that God has a purpose for all of these little delays. He wants to teach us something. Patience? Endurance? Trust? Oh sisters, I personally have SO much to thank God for! I thank Him for the fact that we have a roof over our heads and food on our table, for both of my parents, for all of my siblings, for life itself, and most of all for Jesus’ mercy to me and to others in this sinfully wicked world! What would we do without His mercy? I also must thank Him for allowing the Pinzur family of Illinois to join our family here in Texas this past spring! [Yes, in case most of you didn’t know, the Pinzur family of 10- soon to be 11 members has moved into a tiny 2 bedroom house (which they respectably describe as “rustic” and “cozy” =) ) only a few short miles away from us!] We have greatly enjoyed their fellowship since they moved here, and I’m sure you’ll be hearing more about them in future issues of “YWSH”! Some of you will also recall that in the last issue we sent out, we inserted a little slip of paper onto your copy that explained that our landlord was thinking about removing us from the land that our mobile home presently rests upon. Well, we must say that (Praise the Lord!) our landlord decided not to do that after all. God is so merciful, and we thank Him with all of our hearts! We know, though, that if God had chosen to let our landlord remove us from the land, that it would have been only for our own good. We thank Him that He knows best! So, you see, I really do have a lot to be thankful for. I’m sure that we all have plenty of things we could thank God for, that are very similar in nature to the ones I’ve briefly mentioned above-things that make us comfortable- things that make us happy- things that make our lives seem more fulfilled. Ah... but what about those things that make us feel uncomfortable or sad? And what about unexpected happenings that butt into our schedules, making life seem almost unbearable? I guess the Lord’s been trying to teach me some things these past few months... At first this summer’s trials started out on a somewhat humorous note, as I will let you see by printing an excerpt from my first try at writing for this issue: Monday / May 12, 1997 “Last Monday, as the Pinzur family was packing up their belongings in Illinois so that they could move to Texas, some strange things started happening around our house. First, we had already developed some leaky problems with our trailer’s plumbing and had made arrangements for a plumber to show up some time that day. Well, that morning Mom decided to take Melody over to the Pinzur’s “house-to-be” to do some things. While they were gone, I busied myself with chores and watching the younger children. Before I knew it, I heard Tommy yell from outside, “Summer, come here!” “I’m too busy,” I thought, but when Tommy called again (this time more urgently), I reluctantly headed outside to see what the problem could possibly be. I started back in surprise when Tommy pointed out to me that the electric line that reached from the shed to our trailer, had fallen down and was even then, draped across the metallic siding of our trailer and across the driveway. Realizing the danger, I ushered the little ones (who had come out of curiosity) back into the trailer and placed a large object in the driveway to prevent people from driving in too close. Tommy then called Dad at work, and Dad called the electric company . Shortly thereafter, the plumber called and asked Tommy if it would be okay for him to come soon to fix the leaks under our trailer. Tommy told him what time to show up and then began explaining how our electric line had just fallen down.... But poor Tommy.... Just as he was getting to the exciting point in his story, the chair in which he was leaning back, tipped over with a crash. The phone receiver flew out of his hand like a bird in unexpected flight. When Tommy finally regained his composure and was able to retrieve the receiver, the plumber exclaimed, “Boy, it sure sounds like you’re having lots of problems today!” Wow, were we ever!.. but it was already beginning to get funny. Then the excitement really started when, whoosh! down the driveway Mom came, and within minutes after that, the plumber and all kinds of electric trucks showed up behind her. It was a highlight in the day for the little ones, but not just because of all the big electric trucks that were so busily making racket around the trailer. You see, Melody had brought a turtle home, and... oh well, you know how it is when little children get a hold of turtles. =) I can remember the way it was for me when I was their age. Finding a turtle was almost as good as opening a birthday present. Well, but if all of our problems weren’t enough already! After Mom got home, she discovered that our bread machine was malfunctioning. When she called Dad at work and described the problem to him by saying that a piece in the machine was “jumping up and down”, Dad just cracked up in laughter and exclaimed, “It would be more funny if the whole bread machine was jumping up and down!” By then, most of us were already giddy with excitement and we started laughing too! When the day finally came to a close with everyone tired and tuckered out, I think I could’ve honestly said that I didn’t regret the events of the day one little bit (except for the fact that we had to pay for a plumber)...and I’m sure glad that God gave us a sufficient sense of humor just when we needed it the most! =) Well, during the last few months since I penned the above paragraphs, the Lord continued to show me that He wasn’t quite finished with us yet (and He obviously still isn’t! =) ) Our first big challenge came in the form of a malfunctioning gas hot water heater. I had been noticing for a while that the water was not getting as hot as it normally did. I didn’t think too much of it, though, until one day it just stopped heating the water altogether. We were befuddled there for a while, until my brother, Tommy, figured out that if he lit the pilot light on the heater it would work again at least for an hour or two. But of course we couldn’t be running out to light the pilot light every hour or two just so we would have hot water when we needed it! Finally, a few days ago, the pilot light blew up on Tommy, burning his hands mildly, and the heater hasn’t worked at all since then. Therefore, many a Chapin bath has been taken in cold water! =) Our next two challenges then came in the forms of a leaky, malfunctioning refrigerator, and several leaky, broken pipes under the kitchen cabinets. Needless to say, both of these problems have resulted in some unhappy experiences. For instance, it’s not exactly fun to throw out so much (expensive) spoiled food because the refrigerator isn’t cooling it properly. It also was not exciting when, because of the leak under the kitchen cabinets, we had to drag out all of our hand-me-down clothes from under the kitchen (storage space) only to find some of them badly mildewed. Mom spent several days washing them all. We praise the Lord that some of them were salvageable. The worst result of the leak is that we now have to replace our kitchen floor which is partly rotted because of the water! =( We were finally able to find and fix the leaks after some struggle with cutting a hole in the cabinet under the sink, and we did try to do something about getting a better refrigerator to cool our food. But we got “ripped off” when we bought it, and our “new” refrigerator seems to have part of the same problem with it that our other one did...so yes, we’re still throwin’ out food. =( So, at the moment we’re just living day by day, constantly in wonder of what the Lord might have in store for us next. =) I hope I don’t sound like I’m complaining here! I’m just explaining things the way they are. If you want to know how I honestly feel about all these little difficulties we’ve been going through, I would have to say that they are nothing compared to what they could be or what they very likely may be in the future. For that, I must say I am thankful! You are probably wondering what I mean, right? What I mean is that I feel that persecution of the Christians may not be very long in coming. As I read stories of missionaries in other lands being tortured, going without food and water, and living in very poor, unhealthy conditions, my heart can’t help but go out to them. I must admit, however, that when I read such stories, I am constantly aware of the fact that someday soon I may be put to such torture and be placed in the midst of such trials. We are completely spoiled as Americans. I feel that when persecution comes to the world, we Christians in America will probably find it the hardest to bear. Therefore, when seemingly small trials come into my own life now, I like to think of them as being blessings from God -blessings, because God may be preparing me for harder things in the future. However, I don’t think that is the only reason why such trials can be blessings in disguise. Consider James 2:4 : “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” I must admit, dear sisters, that at first I did not respond properly to my “heat trial”. I let this summer’s heat overcome me, and I became depressed and sluggish. I failed to work on putting this issue of “YWSH” together as fast as I could have, because I was in no happy frame of mind. I felt that the heat was a good excuse. It wasn’t. I failed to see that the heat was my “test”. James 1:2 says that I am to “count it all joy when (I) fall into divers temptations.” Why? Because “the trying of (my) faith worketh patience”! If I wish to grow in Christ, to constantly be “stepping heavenward”, I must realize that the trials God allows in my life are actually His means of refining me and molding me to be more like Him! I need to realize that every new test that happens along is merely a chance for me to accept God’s plan for my life. The more I learn to accept His plan, the more patience He will work within me. As I sit here thinking, I know I could go on writing for hours and hours, telling you of all the times I’ve struggled with accepting God’s will for my life. Somehow I get the impression from letters we’ve received from several of you, that it’s a natural tendency for some subscribers to lift editors high on imaginary pedestals of perfection. Dear sisters, if you only knew how far from being perfect we really are!... Oh yes, we’ve still got a lot to learn, make no mistake about it! We still struggle ourselves with the same sins that many of you have admitted to having struggles with... anger, impatience, depression, pride, sinful motives, and the like. WE ARE NOT PERFECT by any stretch of the imagination. However, we ARE slowly, step by step, struggling upward...ever upward...and we hope and pray that all of you are too! Just a few minutes ago, as I was sitting here writing, Samuel and Harmony tramped past me with huge spoonfuls of peanut butter. They took it outside with them to eat while they play in a makeshift sandbox on our small backyard patio. Mom made a quick run to the library to return some books, so I’m supposed to be “keeping an eye” on all the little ones, which is often not an easy task, if you know what I mean. =) Baby Autumn just woke from her nap, and I am constantly having to hop up and trek through the trailer in search of her. 2 year old tots can be so elusive! Actually, Autumn won’t be two years old until late October, but her “young age” doesn’t seem to be slowing her down any. She learned to walk at 8 months and has been on a fast go ever since! =) Well, Charity, Samuel, and Harmony have just come in from the sandbox, and they are presently engaged in lying on their backs on the living room floor “catapulting” each other over their heads on extended feet. (Forgive me if that didn’t make any sense. -I just don’t know how else to explain what they are doing! =) ) Since I’m already talking about the little ones, I guess I might go ahead and mention that Mom just weaned Autumn about two weeks ago because she realized that she was losing too much weight. (She's not really getting enough calories on her very restricted diet. Please pray that she will gain weight and that she will be able to eat carbohydrates and fats again soon.) Autumn suffered at first because she had a habit of nursing herself to sleep. Fortunately, we thought of a good substitute to wear her on. Instead of nursing, we would let Autumn lay down beside me, and I would “rub” her back till she fell asleep. It worked wonderfully! .. only now we have a new problem. Now Autumn has become “hooked” on back rubs! She is constantly coming to me for them, and I usually find it difficult to refuse her...especially since it’s literally become a habit for me to give back “rubs” without even consciously realizing it. Sound somewhat funny? It is!J Well, Autumn’s just run off again! Hold on and let me see if I can find her. Oh! Oh! She just came back in the room with her diaper stripped off. What will the little sweetie pie think of doing next! Mom just drove back up the driveway, so I’d better run. It’s time for me to fix supper, and everyone’s a waitin’ rather impatiently for me to do so! I’ll be back tomorrow to finish writing. Love ya! Wednesday / October 1, 1997 Okay, here I’m back again! This time I’m laying sideways across my bed in peace and quiet. The little ones must be outside or on the couch reading. They’ve been thoroughly enjoying their fresh stack of library books! Well, we just finished eating a lunch of potatoes, spinach, tuna, and apple muffins. Melody took it into her head to make a new muffin recipe for lunch, but obviously she was really “out of it” when she mixed the ingredients (or at least that’s what she says!) First of all, when she mixed the ingredients, she failed to read the mixing directions and just started throwing things together. Secondly, she completely failed to add the baking powder...and you know what that means. And last of all, right before she slipped the muffins into the hot oven, she absent-mindedly turned it off! 10 minutes later she checked on the muffins. Horrors! They hadn’t risen a single bit. Suddenly, Melody realized that she had forgotten the baking powder. Wearily, she pulled the muffins back out, and re-mixed the dough with the proper amount of baking powder. Then Mom came into the kitchen wondering why the oven was off??? Poor Melody! Well, at least we can both get a good laugh out of it now. Humans often make absent-minded mistakes, and we’re certainly human, by all means! By the way, Melody thought it would be funny if I told you all this, just in case you’re wondering. =) Speaking about food, Dad just recently decided to go on a carrot and beet juice diet for several weeks. Every morning I have to wake up early to juice him about four bags of carrots and two beets. He places the juice in a cooler with ice and takes it to work with him. Our whole family is waiting to see whether or not Dad turns orange from drinking so much carrot juice! =) This morning I drank a little bit of carrot juice myself. It really does taste deliciously sweet...and on top of that, it’s one of the healthiest substances you can put into your body. Someday I just might go on a vegetable juice diet myself... If only fresh produce weren’t so expensive! Right now, Dad will be consuming around 14 raw beets and 28 bags of raw carrots a week! Some diet, indeed! I guess I’d better switch topic now as I’m running out of writing room but still have a lot to say. I know I could probably “jabber” on and on about my family forever because there’s usually so much going on around here! I suppose that’s pretty natural for most large families, though. =) Before I go, I want to share a scripture verse that’s been on my heart lately. Proverbs 13:7 says, “There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.” Now doesn’t that sound rather curious? How can a person be rich and have nothing? And how can a poor man be extremely rich? One of the first verses I thought of after reading Proverbs 13:7 was Matthew 5:3 : “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” If we are “poor in spirit”, humble, lowly, not seeking to earn heaven by doing our own good works of righteousness but rather seeking to throw ourselves upon Jesus’ mercy in true humility of soul, then we shall truly be rich because He will forgive us, and the kingdom of heaven will be ours forever and ever! However, if our heart’s focus in this life is to eat, drink, be merry, and to store up great riches on earth, then we will truly be poor, for in the end we shall make our beds in hell! I also thought of another more practical application to Proverbs 13:7 which doesn’t exactly have to do with our salvation, but which struck me forcibly, nonetheless! I guess I just thought of all my little brothers and sisters... They’re all so sweet, and I love them so dearly, but do you know what? They really do represent a LOT of work on the part of their parents and older siblings. It’s not just a simple task to raise a large family! Sometimes having a large family can literally wear you out physically... If you are worn out physically, what would you call that? PHYSICALLY POOR, right? Our family has often sat around in the living room and discussed how becoming physically poor for the sake of raising little ones for the Lord can actually prove to be a great blessing both physically and spiritually in the end. It is true that our family isn’t very rich in material possessions, but Dad will sometimes smile and point around at all of us children and say, “See, I’ve got all of my ‘Social Security’ right here!” The thrilling thing about my Dad’s “Social Security” is that not only can “it” prove to be a real blessing in supporting him on earth in his old age, but, Lord willing, he will also be able to carry “it” with him into eternal bliss! =) So that is one way that becoming physically poor for the sake of children can bring forth both physical and spiritual blessing... But there is yet another way in which giving of yourself for little ones can bring forth great spiritual blessing. Sometimes, as I sit and write, I am tempted to think, “If only I didn’t have all these little brothers and sisters to help Mom care for, I could write in peace. Oh, and I would also have so much more time to pursue other academic studies for pleasure...things like art, music, and languages. I could learn so much more, couldn’t I ?! Suddenly, I stop in horror as I realize, “Hey, if I didn’t have all these little brothers and sisters, I wouldn’t have near as much to write about! Life would be so terribly boring without them! Worse yet, if I didn’t have all these little siblings, I might not realize just how wicked I really am inside... I mean, having little children around for 24 hours a day can be a great source for trying my patience. Whether I lose my temper outwardly or not, how can I not help but notice those impatient, ungodly feelings that are constantly arising from the depths of my heart? You see, they were there all along, but it is trial, after trial, after trial, which eventually brings them out into the open for me to see. If I didn’t have so many siblings, I’m sure I wouldn’t lose my patience nearly as often... but then I wouldn’t know in what areas I am spiritually weak, and need to work on the most in my life. Little children can truly humble a person! What doth it profit me in the end to have all the time in the world to learn music, art, languages, get a super college education, hold down a good paying job, if I do not know the great wickedness that lieth in my own heart so that I might repent of it? Children truly can be a blessing from the Lord, in more ways than one! =) Dear, dear, sisters, my siblings have been such spiritual blessings to me, but before I conclude this article I just want to tell you all how much you’ve been a spiritual blessing to me and Melody these past few months as well. Before we started “YWSH” magazine, we didn’t have very many close friends. However, recently, we’ve come to be more challenged in our Christian walks through all the wonderful articles and letters you girls have written. What a blessing you all are to us! Now we don’t know what we’d do without you. =) We love you all so much, believe me! I pray fervently that we may all continue to strengthen, edify, and encourage one another along the straight and narrow path. Let us exalt HIS name together forever and ever. ...And now this brings us to our prayer request that the Lord would burden certain ones of you in these next two months to write and submit uplifting, spiritually edifying articles, poems, testimonies, etc., for the next issue of “YWSH” on these two subjects: “Peer Pressure” and “Overcoming Fear” Here are some writing suggestions on the topic of “Peer Pressure”: Have you ever found yourself placed in a situation where the people around you didn’t have your family’s same standards and you felt the tug of peer pressure to conform to their ways? What did you do about it? How did you meet the persistent temptations? What exactlywere the struggles that went on in your heart as you considered what to do? Finally, what did you do? Don’t be afraid to write about your failures as well as your victories in the face of intense peer pressure. What should you have done as you look back on the situation now? If you wish to write an article on peer pressure, please write and tell us what we must do in order to battle the devil in this difficult area. And now for some writing suggestions on the topic of: “Overcoming Fear”: Have any of you dear sisters ever struggled with fear? There are many different things that the devil uses to scare us. For instance, he may whisper to us of the terrors of being persecuted for Christ... He may whisper fearful lies in our ears regarding our health, our lives, our spiritual well beings... What about the safety of loved ones as they are traveling on the road? We may also be fearful of being robbed or beaten by thugs... We may be fearful of the possible occurrence of tragic accidents, and the list could go on, and on, and on... The big question is: “What exactly is the answer to our fears? How can we overcome such a terrible thing as fear? Have any of you girls ever struggled with being fearful about something? Please do write and share with us all what the Lord has taught you about placing your trust in Him for safety! Remember the verse in Psalm 20:7: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.”! Please do share your testimonies on this subject girls! Surely your words could be a blessing to many! Other submissions we are looking forward to receiving from you are: other testimonies, articles, poems, stories with spiritual plots, recipes, herb articles, crafts, penpal requests (and other ads), cute things that your little siblings have said or done, sewing, canning and gardening tips, book reports, and suggestions for this magazine! All of you dear sisters who merely read this magazine are very welcome to submit materials for possible printing (You don’t have to be a subscriber.). However, please understand that even if we decide to print your submission, it may be a while until we can do so as we often end up with so much more material than we can print in one issue. Please also understand that upon our decision to print certain articles, stories, poems, etc. in “YWSH” that they automatically become the property of “YWSH” magazine and are subject to possible editing and revising as we see fit. We would greatly appreciate it if all of you dear sisters would only submit original material that has not yet been printed in any other magazine or newsletter. However, if you do want us to consider printing something that has already been printed, then please be sure to tell us when and where it was printed. We will then make our final decision based on that information. Mothers and Grandmothers, you are also very welcome to place submissions to “YWSH”. Please don’t forget these verses! : “The aged women... That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good obedient to their husbands, that the Word of God might not be blasphemed”!!! -Titus 2:3-5 Last of all, we want to inform you that advertising flyers for “YWSH” magazine are now available upon request! To receive these flyers, please send us a Large SASE and indicate the amount you desire. We will also try to answer any questions you may have for us, but please understand that our time is already very limited by a strict schedule, and we may not be able to respond. If you have any questions, it certainly would be extremely helpful if you would list those questions out on a piece of stationary, leaving blank spaces for us to answer. Could you also send an SASE, and give us your telephone number? Thanks! (Oops! does all of that make sense? =) ) Well, lets see... have we said all that needs to be said? Yes, I think we’ve pretty much covered everything here. Hmmm.....unless your wondering whether this magazine is copyrighted or not. Please see page 8 of this issue for that information! And now: “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.” (I Peter 5:10-11) We love you all very dearly! “Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus”!! Only because of Him, Summer Joy and Melody Hope October 14, 1997 P.S. Our dear sisters, We are just getting ready to leave to the Copy-Mart to get this issue of "YWSH" copied and ready to send out, Lord willing. (As providence would have it, our malfunctioning copy machine has not been of much use to us lately, and we will probably get rid of it very soon, unless the Lord intervenes with His healing touch.) Melody just talked over the phone to the people at the Copy-Mart, and they informed us that they will be able to give us our normal reduced price on our copies this one last time... but next time they will have to charge us over double what we have been paying, thus increasing the price to 4 and a half cents for every page, even if we bring our own paper. So, we're not exactly sure what we're going to do about printing the next issue of "YWSH" yet. =| We would really like to get "YWSH" printed at a real printer's, but the prices here are too high. We were wondering if some of you might be willing to call around at different printers in your area and get their prices for us? If you would be willing to do this, then please send us your phone number, and we'll try to give you a call, OK? =) Thanks so much.. and God bless you all! Love, Summer and Melody P.O.
