Mariah Pope - Juaneño Band of Mission Indians Acjachemen Nation

Tribe of Testimonies

I love to giggle. I actually did that quite a bit in this interview with Mariah Pope. It just seemed like we had a lot in common. And I loved that she was able to see the humor of things that have happened in her life. Like being called into a Relief Society presidency when she felt not just that the calling should go to someone else, but that she didn't even know the sisters she was called to serve. (I've had that same experience!) I love how she was just like, "Well, I guess I'll try this college program...might as well." I kind of had a similar experience. I love how she has come into a family that seems so different than her own--and yet it's becoming the perfect fit for her. Definitely the Lord is guiding her life. And I love that she recognizes Him.
