Part 3 1940
Glen had a gift for public speaking. The pastor, at that time, recognized this and often used Glen to fill in for him. He was granted an Exhorter's License by Pastor Walls. Then the pastor was moved, by the conference, to Des Moines to pastor the church there and also a small church on the east side of town called Fairview Free Methodist Church. He asked Glen to consider moving to Des Moines and taking over the small Fairview congregation. He would have to have a job besides the church, because they couldn't afford to pay a salary to the pastor.
Glen and Corina prayed about it and Glen applied for a chef position at a hotel in Downtown Des Moines. He was hired! The family moved to Des Moines, Iowa in 1940.
