Priscilla Pearson - an Indian Placement Program Story

Tribe of Testimonies

There are some controversial topics surrounding The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One of them is the Indian Placement Program. I happen to be particularly thankful for the Program. And so is Priscilla Pearson. I interviewed her during my first year of Tribe of Testimonies. But she has mentioned to me a few times how much gratitude she has for the Program and asked if she could tell her Placement Program story. Yes! Priscilla talks about the faith of her Navajo family to send her on the Program. She talks about the transition from Rez life to white-suburbia life. She talks about the differences in the three families she lived with. She talks about relationships that were forged as deeply as her blood relationships. And she talks about the blessing of learning to have a testimony of her own. I love this story time and I hope you do too.
