25 July 1947 Friday

Slept on a straw tick for the first time, but by no means the last. We had a missionary meeting at 8:30. it was mostly song practice. President Rex started to interview us in the afternoon, but didn't get too far, due to interruptions. Elders to, bloomquist and I got stuck in the elevator this morning. More fun. we finally had to crawl out through the bottom. All the missionaries attended a dance at the school celebrating the entrance of the pioneers into the salt Lake valley. Of course, the elders couldn't dance. But we enjoyed watching the members dance. Arcoris sing a couple of numbers during intermission. We are catching on fast in the art of leaping on bonds, getting off at the right Plains and knowing where we're walking to. The language is a little different though.
