CHURCH ACTIVITIES OF VELMA TYLER GLENN - to March 1979
While we (the Rufus Black Tyler family) lived in Ft Thomas, Arizona (about two miles from), I was Secretary of the Sunday School and 2nd Counseller [sic] in the MIA Presidency, in the Emery ward, 1925 to about 1927 . We moved to Twin Falls, Idaho, in June, 1927.
I served as a Stake Sunday School Secretary and a class supervisor from 1930 to about 1933. My husband, Jerald Wesley Glenn, was in the Stake Sunday School Presidency at the same time.
I served as a class instructor in the Primary organization for 15 years. Secretary of the Relief Society for two years, visiting teacher 15 years, secretary of the Genealogy Library in Twin Falls, Idaho, and a member of the South Central Idaho Genealogy Chapter for 12 or 14 years.
I was President of the Kimberly Ward MIA for about two years and attendance secretary for five or more years.
My husband and I were on a Twin Falls Stake mission for three years. Maybe influenced two to join the Church. Someone did at that time. Anyway, they joined the Chruch [sic].
October, 1974 , Wesley and I were called by President Spencer W Kimball to serve a mission for one and one half years in the Missouri Independence Mission. Because of my health problems, we were unable to leave for our mission until the 20th of March, 1975. We served in the “Mormon Visitors Center" in Independence the full time. Experiences there varied. People came there to see from all over the world. Some were just curious to see what was in the building and didn't want to hear our story about the Gospel and some were very very interested. It was thrilling to see the interested and disappointing to have to take those through the building that weren't interested. We as missionaries had our thrilling experiences and our sad experiences as all missionaries do. Graham W Doxey was our Mission President. He was strict but very sympathetic and understanding.
My husband and I have gone through the Cardston, Alberta, Canada Temple and in the 48 of the United States, the Ogden, Salt Lake, St George, Logan Temples in Utah, the Mesa Temple in Arizona, the Los Angeles and Oakland Temples in California, and the Idaho Falls Temple in Idaho. We have done some baptisms. We were usually asked to act as witnesses and the young people that came did the baptisms. We have done many many endowments and sealings in the temples. I started to keep the temple slips but there were so many, I quit saving them.
I have enjoyed all of my church work very much. I love the Church very much. My faith in the Church and its teachings and the leaders in the Church has helped me endure many problems that I have been faced with. I hope and pray that I can always remain faithful and that our families will remain faithful to the teachings of our Lord and Savoir.
