Unscramble the Blue Letters

But I'll tell you what my ppleoe have done. My groups are slaml, there's hdnduers of us, but we've had huge impact. Right now, women's pictures are hanging in the halls next to men for the first time. Women are now allowed to pray in our church-wide miengtes, and they never were before in the general conferences. As of last week, in a historic move, three women were invited down to three leadership boards that oversee the eritne church. We've seen perceptual shifts in the Mormon community that allow for talk of gender inequality. We've opened up spcae, regardless of being despised, for more conservative wemon to step in and make real changes, and the words "women" and "the priesthood" can now be uttreed in the same sentence. I never had that. My daughter and my nieces are inheriting a religion that I never had, that's more equal — we've had an effect.

Original Text

But I'll tell you what my people have done. My groups are small, there's hundreds of us, but we've had huge impact. Right now, women's pictures are hanging in the halls next to men for the first time. Women are now allowed to pray in our church-wide meetings, and they never were before in the general conferences. As of last week, in a historic move, three women were invited down to three leadership boards that oversee the entire church. We've seen perceptual shifts in the Mormon community that allow for talk of gender inequality. We've opened up space, regardless of being despised, for more conservative women to step in and make real changes, and the words "women" and "the priesthood" can now be uttered in the same sentence. I never had that. My daughter and my nieces are inheriting a religion that I never had, that's more equal — we've had an effect.
