Elder Hemingway and his companion Elder McEwan called at my mothers home in order to re-teach her the discussions (mother had not been attending church for maybe three

years.) My sister Lorna and I were also taught and later baptised at Wells Road Chapel in

Bristol.

Whilst my sister had a lift home, I had to catch a train home with the missionaries.We missed the 9pm train from Temple Meads and had to wait for the 3am train. We passed the time playing chess. We drew the board onto a piece of paper and tore off small pieces of paper for the playing pieces.

Priesthood meetings were held at the Elders flat in Cheddon Road. I was the only member present at Priesthood meetings, aged 15 and the two missionaries.

Sacrament meetings were held at The Rowbarton Adult School.
