Mamma and I study our lessons every Sabbath. I study in Book No. 2. I am in the fourth grade at day school. I like to read the Instructor, and send money to renew my subscription, for I cannot get along without it. After I read the papers, I send them to others to read. We expect to sell out here and go to Colorado, but my greatest desire is to secure a home with Jesus in the new earth.'"
