Comments: Sister Maughan was orginally from Ogden, Utah, she was called from Cedar City, Utah, where she was teaching school. There was no formal language training at that time, she said. Five mos into her mission and still struggling with the language herself, she became the sr companion to two other sisters in a threesome.
"Thank heavens for good investigators and good members," she said. She knew enough of the language to know when a question was asked, and said, "Into my mind would come the words I needed to say."
Japanese people flocked to the humble sister missionaries. Sister May said they were flooded with people to teach and there were baptisms every week.
Elder and Sister May served a proselyting mission in London as a senior couple in 2001.
