One day in the temple Rachel met Signe Dahl Ames. It was Rachel's custom
to keep a lookout for sisters who were new to the work that she might
assist them. Signe had not been in the Temple since the day she was
married, and now she had come to do some work for her family. Rachel met
her in the outer room with a pleasant greeting.
"I am Sister Bogstad," she said; "and what is your name?"
"Bogstad, did you say--why--why, my name is Ames."
"Yes, Bogstad," replied Rachel, noticing the sister's surprise. "We
haven't met before, have we?"
"No; I think not. The name is not common, and I used to know a gentleman
by that name--that's all."
"You're a Norwegian," said Rachel.
"Yes."
"So am I; though I was born in this country, it may be possible that I
belong to the family which you know."
"I used to know Henrik Bogstad of Nordal, Norway."
"That's my cousin. We have been doing work here in the temple."
Signe was greatly surprised, and Rachel led her to a corner where they
talked freely for some time.
