Title
August 29, 1951 diary entry
Description
In this entry, Swenson recounts a discussion she and Pearl had with two Mormon missionaries about God. Swenson came from a Mormon family and her parents hoped she would eventually return to the church. Swenson had no intention of doing so, but stayed on the rolls of LDS members in Manhattan for their sake. Unfortunately, the entry ends abruptly, so we don't know how the debate turned out.
