We have many books in our home, but the book we read most is the Book of Mormon. I learned from my dad that every time you read the Book of Mormon, you will learn new things.

I couldn’t find my shoes and said a prayer for help. I thought an answer would come right away, but it didn’t. I was frustrated, so I picked up a shirt on the floor and threw it. Under my shirt were my shoes! My prayer wasn’t answered the way I expected, but I knew my prayer was heard.

I planted flowers for a sister in my neighborhood and fed her kitten. I felt happy to serve just like Jesus did.
