Sweet text I got from Mariah's 9th grade seminary teacher August 5, 2018

This is Brother Heywood. He has family in Prairie Grove and sent me the following text and picture. It was so sweet! He taught Mariah in seminary at Butler Middle School when she was in 9th grade. What a small world!

"I am sitting behind your beautiful, sweet daughter Mariah(Sister Burton) in fast and testimony meeting right now. What a wonderful sister she is! You can tell she is full of the Spirit and really involved in the work. It looks like she has some investigators in church today. You must be so proud of her for the marvelous work she is doing and the wonderful woman she has become.

She just got up and bore a sweet, POWERFUL testimony of the Book of Mormon and the Savior Jesus Christ and the truth of the gospel and the Church. Obviously had some great training at home and Seminary."

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! December 24, 2018

It's been an adventure of a week! It started with our fun skit lesson we did with the elders. We have a family that feeds us every Tuesday and her sister lives in the Alma ward and her niece is being taught by the Elders so they asked if we could all do a lesson together at the church so we did! We (missionaries) acted out the scene of 1st Nephi when they go and get the plates. It was so much fun! It was a great to bring the scriptures to life and they all loved it. Plus, I got to be Laman and Lemuel so that was fun. After the skit we had a discussion about the faith that Nephi had for them to get the plates and how Laman and Lemuel repented from rebelling and they had to act on their faith as well. It was really special because then the lady who feeds us, both of her sisters aren't members and they were talking about baptism and learning more as well. So amazing!!! It was a great night. We are going to have another big lesson with them on Wednesday and I'll let y...

GO HOGS!! August 1, 2018

I am staying here in Prairie Grove AR-Kansas with Sister Rosenberg another 6 weeks! woot woot! I am so excited because we have amazing people we are working with and it's been such a fun companionship!! It'll be a great 6 more weeks! This week we were in a town in our area that we don't get to spend very much time in, just once a week and we weren't sure what to do. So we prayed and felt that we should walk to go see this less active member and then after go try a former person who was being taught. It was amazing to see the miracles come from that. We walked to the member's home and she said it was a miracle that we even caught her at that time, they just got home and were only staying for a little bit before leaving again. It was so cool!! We wouldn't have been able to see her if we would've driven because we would've gotten there before they were there. After that we went to visit the former and we pulled up and they were outside so we got out...
