We just barely started teaching her and she already loves the book of Mormon! We teach her at her fish shop and sometimes people will come up and try to buy fish while we are teaching and she gets so annoyed. One woman tried to buy fish during our lesson and Mary goes, “Weigh it yourself we're having a bible study!” The next time we went to teach her, she was sitting with her f...
