Hello and welcome to another episode of Mormon Stories podcast. I am your host, Cara

0:06.2

Borrell for the day. John is writing sidecar again on this amazing, wonderful, fascinating

0:13.8

interview with Camille Jones. Camille, welcome back to part two. Thank you. So we just wrapped

0:19.7

up part one. We talked about Camille's mission and her time in Palmyra and going through

0:26.5

the church history sites there and we discussed kind of the creepy men and just the different

0:33.8

disorder dynamics between men and women in the church. I think was another interesting highlight

0:38.9

of the part one for Camille's story there. So in this part two, we're going to start getting

1:36.1

as an administrative assistant in the missionary department. Okay. And then about three years

1:40.4

later, I was hired by the core of the 70 and I was an executive secretary to members of

1:45.8

the 70. So that is like as close to the top leadership of the LDS church that you can

1:56.6

Mormon stories interview. So Camille, let's jump into you came back from your mission and
