READING When I was in my teens, I enjoyed reading various novels "Black Beauty" was one, "Little Women" was another. I was impressed with reading church books and studying Church History as well as the LDS Standard Works--Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, and the Bible. These have strengthened my testimony. Being involved in contributing information toward the biographies of the immediate pioneer grandparents and their posterity has also strengthened my testimony.

Sometimes we visited more than once a month. We were assigned a partner as we worked in the program. This carried on for a few years until the church authorities decided to discontinue this endeavor. We met some choice girls and liked to feel that we influenced them in some good ways. As years passed by, many of these girls married and became lovely wives and mothers. This was gratifying to all who worked with them in a Church capacity. SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER My first Church calling in the Ogden 7th Ward was when I was 15 years of age. I was asked to be a teacher in the Junior Sunday School. All our meetings for the Junior Sunday School were held in the basement of the building. Some of my students were Clarence Bryne and his twin brother (who died
