Dear Bro Jo,
My older sister and I were sitting down just now writing to some of our missionary friends both guys & girls, and we got into a bit of an argument.
She had printed off pictures of herself and wanted to send them with the letters. I don't think that it is the right thing to send pictures of yourself to missionaries, but she thinks that its ok. What is your take?
As a bit of a back story, my sister was keen on this one guy before he went on his mission, and there were some rumors circulating that he liked her as well, but he never said so to her, and she never told him that she liked him.
Well, this is the guy that she wants to send the pictures to. I think it would be too distracting, knowing that he may have liked her, and I voiced this opinion. She actually got very upset with me when I said so. My sister is also incredibly good looking (I'm not just saying that… a lot of other people have said it too) so I don't think that helps her case either.
What do you think?

Dear NW,
When we suggest to someone that they're doing something wrong they only get upset if deep down they know (or fear) that we're right.
Think about that.
It's true every time.
Now, to the question: should a girl send pictures of herself to a missionary?
I think that depends a little on the pictures . . . and the Jo Boys have all said that they'd like to get A picture from "certain" girls while they're out - so long as they're modestly attired.
But Sister Jo is adamant that any picture would be a distraction, and let's face it, that's kind of the point, isn't it?
