weeks then flew back over the ocean. I went again with LeGrande and Ellen on the airplane going over we had a glorious time. I've been to Mexico with LaRue and LeGrande and Ellen, we had a glorious time. And I've been to Canada with the neighbors, the Lawrences, in their car.

My children have beautiful homes and they give me much, and take me to many places, and on trips.

I have made a satin quilt for every one of my children when they got married. Every grandchild that gets married I've given them a satin quilt that I have made. I have quilting bees here in my home, and I have little baby quilts for each first great grand baby that's born. Give them a satin quilt. Then the other babies that come, I go in the store and buy them a beautiful blanket. Now I have 14 great Grandchildren and soon will have another born, that will be 15. Its my youngest son Neil who lived in California. He just got married a year ago, I feel like my life has been very full, I've had two open houses on my birthdays. And I had one party when I was 80 up in my son Clark's house, he has beautiful brick house. Oh, there were friends and neighbors and relatives from Farmington, and oh we had such a crowd come to that one house party in my sons Clarks home. When I was 90 I had, in this ward, in this home, a party, and there were 250 people who came. I have a book with their names written in it. Now I am 92 years old and I have had many experiences. The Lord has guided me in the walks of life, and my testimony has been straightened. As the days go by I feel grateful for the gospel, and I feel grateful that U could be born in this last dispensation of the fulness of time. I bear this testimony to this fact too, and I know the gospel is true because I sat on my fathers knee as a girl, and he told me that he knew Prophet Joseph Smith personally, that I must always know that he was a true prophet.
