Yesterday’s answer:

B   Her husband threw the Book of Mormon into the fire and it didn’t burn

. . . Elizabeth Terry Heward, encountered Mormonism without her husband’s permission. Heward was born in the birthplace of Mormonism—Palmyra, New York—on November 17, 1814. At age twenty-three she began her conversion experience when she requested that a Mormon missionary, Theodore Turley preach at her house in December 1837. Heward was converted not through her reading of the book but through a miracle involving the book. Another Mormon “sold me a Book of Mormon for $1.25 and Kirby [her husband] was near when I received the book and he snatched it out of my hand and threw it into the fire, which was very hot, and it went in open. . . . I was across the room from the fire, but I sprang as quick as I could and took out the book, which scorched. . . . Right then I received a testimony that the Book of Mormon was true.”
