about the grammar mistakes I've found in the discussions. I hope they'll find them helpful. We came back and studied our
discussions. I finished the third discussion today and began
on the fourth.

For our afternoon speakers we had Alvin R. Dyer and James
A. Cullimore. After dinner we had some more time to study
and get things done. We had Dr. Evans speak to us in the
evening about guarding our health. It will be a really
strange to be in different cultures with different foods, etc. I
was again privileged to play the piano - I guess he's starting on second rounds. It's so neat not to get really frightened in
front of a group after all these years.
Pres. Whitesides gave us permission to hold testimony meetings in our rooms and go to bed at 11:00 instead of 10:30. We had a special meeting in our room with Sis. Robert (room leader), Sis. Hunter, Sis. Clark, Sis. Boyce, Sis. Pettersson, Sis. Kapteyn, Sis. Voyles, Sis. Valenzuela, Sis. Kartchner, Sis. Willis, Sis. Clark, Sis. Gudmundson, and me. We've grown to have a very special feeling for each other in these few days. All of us except Sis. Kapteyn, who leaves right away for the France-Belgium Mission, will be going to the Provo LTM. It will be good to see them some more.
A couple of the sisters brought some milk, cookies and candy, so we had a little party with picture taking, too. We didn't quite make the 11:00 o'clock curfew, but I'm sure the Lord will sustain us.

We're preparing to leave the Mission Home for the LTM. I
can hardly believe that this experience is already drawing to
a close. It's been really special getting to know these sisters.
