Relief Society Presidency. Sister Smith, Secretary, Sister Star, President of California Relief Society, Sister Hansen, President of Bakersfield Relief Society and the one that is so good to me, Sister Bunting--wife of the Branch President and 1st counselor of the Relief Society. She is also very good to the missionaries.
Sister Painter, 2nd counselor in the presidency.

Fell out at 6:00. Cooked breakfast and had dishes over with by 7:15, ready for meeting. After meeting a guy came to the home and wanted some money to get to a certain town. The boy didn’t know or realize what a bunch of Scotchmen he was trying to pump and of course was shown the door. We were sorry but couldn’t do nothing for him. At 10:30 we went to Wasco, a town 26 miles from Bakersfield. Visited Saints and returned home to find a letter from my Billy and some other mail at 2:30. Studied till 7 and then went to the hospital to administer to Sis. Underwood. Boy, of all the spooky looking people. Those poor skeletons were the worst I ever did see. We returned home, washed our hands, cleaned up a bit and went over to Sis Hansens and played pit until 10:30. Returned and called this the labor of the first day (after Xmas).
