missionaries entered in 1993. Siberia is a region larger than the United
States with vast distances between branches. Eight young people attended

| Mormon Community Quilts Through Tragedy |
| In the tranquil valley between the Great Salt
Lake and the Wasatch Mountains, the 17,000 residents of Brigham City
are matching their patriotism with their faith that the city was
named for in 1851. Named for Mormon leader Brigham Young, the still
largely Mormon community reflects an attitude of industry and
resourcefulness that is found in the ladies of a quilting circle at
the Village Dry Goods store. Amid bolts of colorful cloth, spools of
thread and unfinished handiwork, the women prove that even a
quilter's patience has limits. |
