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...

CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY!! December 17,2108

Woohoo! It's almost Christmas!!! One of our favorite songs right now is Christmas everyday by David archuleta. It you haven't heard it, I encourage you to go listen to it and his whole album. Ah. So good! It's been an eventful week as well! We had MLC in bentonville which is where we went and talked about plans for our zone conference and future district councils. It was so much fun! Sister Rosenberg was called to be the other sister training leader so we get to go to that meeting together and we were able to do exchanges all day Wednesday and I stayed in Prairie Grove. It was so cool!!! I got to see a lot of the people I love and miss from that area. It was a blast being able to see them and be in their homes again. We had zone conference on Thursday and it was so fun! Since its Christmas it was a 2 hour meeting and the rest was just games and a talent show. Super cool! There are a ton of talented missionaries here. There was singing, kickboxing, roller skating, piano...
