missions. Then six of us went with Sis. Cluny to work on our discussions with the keyword method. I pretty much did the second discussion before and after lunch. Sis. Cluny asked me to be the group leader and check Tuesday night to see if the sisters meet their individual goals.
We had sacrament meeting with testimonies from people that were called on. We had more instructions, statistics, etc. The sisters stayed after for a special meeting to understand more about our special responsibility and calling.

There were only four sisters of the thirty-five who hadn't already been through. We had a full session even though a few elders went to an elder priesthood session. It was so choice to see all the brethren and hear them. After our beautiful session, at which we were shown much consideration, we were ushered up to the fifth floor to the solemn assembly room. It is a unique privilege offered only to missionaries. We were privileged to hear Pres. Lee and have him answer our questions about the temple. It was a very special 1 1/2 hours.

I wanted to go through again with Sis. Boyce. And now I have my six endowment sessions for my Golden Gleaner Award. The first session I made it through the veil without help for the first time,
