Fire and the Covenant 4-1

Comments: 0    

Alright so everyone is on the ship now and has been for about 10 days or so. Even though they are on a ship the normal cycles of life are still continuing. Everything seems to be like real life. In these ten days there has been 2 births, two deaths, and one marriage. It seems like things are going to continue as normal. In all there are about 700 people who are moving to Utah. about 200 of them do not speak English so things have been very hard for those few people. The leader of the group came up and started to talk to Maggie. He knew about her situation with James and how hard it was for her to decide to leave him and come to America. He reminded her of why she made this decision and that it was the right one. He also shared some insight with her. He told her that it was the Fire of the Covenant, or Maggie's covenant of baptism that drove her to make the right choice. He really encouraged her. THen he asked her to do something very very hard. He asked her to teach five Danish people, including Olaf and Eric how to speak English. The only problem is that she has no text books, and does not speak much Dutch at all. IT is going to be a challegne. BUt, being a very courageous girl, she takes the challenge. Her first day of class goes well. She is very scared at first, but it looks like things are going to be just fine. She is an awesome girl.
