In Their Own Words
“I have carried the Gospel to a portion of my father’s family, have had the satisfaction of baptizing my own mother in the State of Massachusetts, and have taken joy throughout all m labors, and have felt that the Spirit of God has been with me, and I have rejoiced that I was led to render obedience to the requirements of heaven — Millennial Star 51:31”
