Divine Guidance during Elder George Batt's missionary work in New Zealand

“I had now received some important revelations, and felt prompted to come to Auckland to attend to something very pressing, and I knew what the Lord would have me do under the circumstances, as there was only myself from Zion in this island, and I had many calls to attend to. I laid the matter before the Lord and, in the city of Auckland, I found the Saints, some of whom I had heard were straying from the fold. I held a meeting with them, held a council, and set apart Elder John P. Sorensen to take charge of the mission in the middle island. I also visited the Saints in the Waikato district, and found them generally feeling well, though some were cold and indifferent. I held meetings with them, and endeavored to stir them up to diligence and faithfulness, and I believe my visit was productive of much good.”
