In 1946, 2-year-old Virginia Hawkins Bryant and her family moved to Tooele, Utah. There, in a neighborhood where only one house stood between them, she met Kathleen Moessing, also 2 years old, and they began a friendship that would last a lifetime.
Seventy-nine years later, the childhood friends, now 81, will be serving as companions in the Micronesia Guam Mission.
Both women hope to use their individual backgrounds to serve. Hawkins Bryant of the North Salt Lake Utah Legacy Stake intends to use her homemaking skills, such as cooking and sewing, and Moessing of the Oakland California Stake plans to contribute her experience from a seasoned nursing career.
