Malissa's first grade class gave a Pioneer Devotional

at their school last week. As usual Malissa wasn't nervous

to give her part and did a great job! This is her part.

"The second year the pioneers were here, they needed

to plant extra crops to feed all the new members who

were coming to Utah. Before the crops were ready to

harvest, millions of crickets began eating the plants.

The Saints did everything they could to get rid of the

crickets. Nothing worked! They knelt down in the fields

and prayed for help. Thousands of seagulls came and

swallowed up the crickets. The Saints thanked Heavenly

Father for the miracle that had saved the crops."

All the children shared stories about the pioneers.

It was a wonderful devotional!
