    • WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GIRLS OF THE ’40’S

      Remember the pioneer girls of the 1940’s? Where are they now? Did these sisters tire out? By no means! All are still active. Six sisters attended Gilead, and four are still missionaries. Five are special pioneers, and three are pioneering after raising their families or making adjustments in their schedules.

      Why have they kept so busy in the Kingdom preaching work? Lila Swaby answers: “Working with the older anointed sisters when we were young built us up. We are no longer young, but their example continues as an inspiration to us.”
