My favorite stuffed animal was missing. I looked for it and prayed for help. After a week, my brother found it. I remembered a Primary lesson about how God answers prayers. It can take a day, a week, or even 10 years, but He still answers our prayers.

My family went to Utah, USA. On Pioneer Day, we went to This Is the Place Heritage Park. We saw the monuments of Jane Elizabeth Manning, Green Flake, Hark Wales, and Oscar Smith. They were some of the first pioneers to enter the Salt Lake Valley.

My family and I went to the Nauvoo Illinois Temple. I thought of the pioneers who worked hard to build the temple and my ancestors who were forced to leave Nauvoo and cross the frozen Mississippi River. I’m not old enough to go inside the temple, but I feel close to my ancestors and the Holy Ghost whenever I am near it.

I love being a big sister to Macy, who has Down syndrome. I like to push her on the swings at the park and help her climb the stairs to go down the slide!
