Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson, YW general president, told about her great-great grandmother Agnes Hoggan who immigrated to the U.S. from Scotland. She was soon a widow with 8 children. Agnes had to hire out her 12-year-old daughter Isabelle to a wealthy, non-LDS family. Tell how the story ended.
This struggling widow and mother had a hard decision to make, but she did not hesitate for a moment. Listen to the words of her granddaughter, written many years later: “If her love had not compelled [her] to say no, she had an even better reason—she had come all the way from Scotland and had gone through tribulations and trials for the Gospel, and she did not intend, if humanly possible, to let a child of hers lose what she had come so far to gain.”
