She shared, “Studying and reading scripture has given me a better understanding. I have felt a desire to continue and it feels really good.”
Eden’s seminary teacher, Samantha Fourie, noted, “We love having Eden in our class. She is a very dedicated seminary student. She is so positive and optimistic and is always willing to participate. Eden is a wonderful example of commitment and strength and we’re blessed to have her in our class.” She added, “I can’t say enough about this special girl!”
