Journal Entry

June 05, 1837 ~ Monday

June 5th I called in the morning at Brother Azmons &
conversed with him & Also Brother Thompson upon
temporal as well as spiritual subjects Neither of them
manifested amy hardness towards me in the morning but
both appeared affected Brother Azmon said he was
still seeking for light & truth & should not have left
the truth or the Church of latter bay Saints had it not
been for his temptations trials &c. But I commended
him to God & was under the necessaity of taking the
parting hand and perhaps for the last time of my Brethren
and their household amid some painful sensations
with a firm belief theirre will be a change in their house
hold which sentiment I expressed to Azmon, let
time determin the fact. I could say in my heart
Lord have mercy upon my Brethren my kinsman
after the flesh, yet I could not say as I left the
threshhold of his house. (Halea tibou, Ye hali ettouboa
{good bye to} you) as I could have done had we been receieved
in the name of the Lord. We then walked to Sister
Calvins & Elder Duchers in Jeffersons County
distance of the day 24 miles
