R. N. Russel, an outgoing missionary, testifies that while laboring in three different conferences in England, the Lord abundantly blessed him and accepted his efforts.
Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 29, No. 15, 13 April 1867, p. 237):
I have labored in three different Conferences in this land, and I can truly say that the Lord has blessed me abundantly, and I know that He has accepted of my labors.
In Their Own Words
“I can say my labors in these lands have been a pleasure to me, and I feel satisfied with the course I have taken. I do know the Lord has abundantly blessed me, and I feel that my feeble efforts to do good have been accepted of him. — Millennial Star 29:15”
