Dear Diary, We had a very good day at church. I was set apart as a social relations teachers in RS. Heber set me apart. We had a very good lesson in RS, a cultural refinement lesson. Ann Brown taught it, she sure embarrassed me using me and my family as an example of bearing good fruits. Heber and I were also complimented by a sister who bore her testimony. We sure are grateful for a good day. We visited my 2 sisters.

Dear Diary, It is with much gratitude in my heart for the great sermons we heard tonight from SL City in the tabernacle. It was so very wonderful. I wish every female in the world could have heard and saw what a few of us ladies in the Slema Ward heard. I sincerely hope we can treasure and remember to live by what the leaders of the church expressed tonight by satellite.

My skin turned yellow also my urine. I am so very grateful for Doctors.

Dear Diary, I had so much to do today. I did not get my nap after munch. You'd think this late in the season I'd be all finished but I canned 7 qts of okra and fixed up about 3 pts of pimento. Heber gathered the potatoes today. It's almost 11pm and I'm really tired. I wrote Steve a letter today advising him about managing his money. I hope he took it in the way I meant it. Sure would be nice if all the kids could manage their money.
