Arelminta had four daughters​—Dorell, Calvie, Lila, and Casel. Dorell was the first of the Swaby girls to venture out as a pioneer. She and Corina Osorio (now Novoa) were assigned to Point Quepos, which is on the west coast. Dorell’s three sisters later joined the pioneer ranks too.

Lila Swaby and Evelyn Ferguson went to Gilead in the spring of 1953 and Argentina joined the next class. Ever since the 1940’s, these diligent sisters have been busy planting many seeds of Kingdom truth.
