and the second session I missed only one word. And on the second session I got the special opportunity to join in the prayer circle. I hope I'll be able to do it with my husband some day. But I had a really beautiful time today. My heart is full.
We broke our fast with a three o'clock lunch. Bishop [Robert L.] Simpson talked with us about tithing and fast offerings.
We were taken on a tour of the Visitor's Center so we would know what people were talking about on referrals from there. Each of the four groups got to see three of the four films that might be used in our missions. I don't think I'd realized before that the music to Christ in America was from pageant - it was beautiful and nostalgic. After a later dinner we came back for the meeting on science and religion. I was asked to play the piano; fortunately the songs weren't too difficult.
It feels so wonderful yet strange to be a missionary. It may be terrible, but I don't miss my family half so much as I should because I'm having such new and wonderful experiences. I'm not really homesick at all, but that may change when I get down to Provo and will be so close to home, yet so far away. I really am excited to be involved in the work.

Today has been another good day. After breakfast we began having General Authorities. We heard good messages from Howard W. Hunter, Sterling W. Sill, Franklin D. Richards, and Loren C. Dunn. Bruce R. McConkie asked to be excused. We had a long lunch hour to get some errands accomplished. After lunch Sis. Boyce and I went to visit James A. Cullimore, who knew her father. We went to Miller R. Hunter's office to get the pages on archaeological evidences. He finished the letter to the Missionary Committee.
