Progress:
I have already found multiple resources and now I just need to go through them and find all the relevant and helpful information. I was surprised at how easy it was to do the research; I have never been very successful at it. So that was a wonderful surprise and a reliever of a lot of stress.I am excited to look more into my ancestors' stories on this topic as well. I am also trying to write two 10 page research papers in the next week and a half, so wish me luck!

Answer to last week's riddle:
If the back dwarf sees red and blue, he won't say anything because he doesn't know what color his hat is, The middle dwarf, not hearing the back dwarf say anything, can safely assume that his hat is a different color than the dwarf in front of him. Thus if the front dwarf's hat is blue, the middle dwarf says, "my hat is red" and they are all saved!

  2. Wow! You're definitely on top of things! I love that you're focusing on a specific group of people rather than the broad spectrum of mormonism! I'm super excited to see where this takes you! I wish I could give advice but maybe I'll just give you encouragement instead! YOU CAN TOTALLY WRITE THESE TWO PAPERS! :)

  3. I am also impressed with your list of keywords. That is a very broad list, but it's great because I'm sure you will find very reliable information to write your paper, which will be awesome! Plus, you'll have a lot of logos, ethos, and pathos. :)
