Since the last post ended with Annie making baby clothes, I'm sure you can guess where this post will end. I have been doing a bit of research online to learn about some of the people and places Annie mentions. I found several pictures of the Mission Home (the Lanihuli house seen below) in Laie, Hawaii where Annie lived during her mission. I also learned that Samuel E. Woolley (who Annie argued with) was the mission president for 24 years from 1895 to 1919! His wife Alice is often referred to by Annie. She was a midwife and I'm sure Annie was grateful for her skill.
