Day in the Life

Apr 16, 1838

Journal Entry

April 16, 1838 ~ Monday

16 I wrote a letter for Sister Pease. I took the parting hand with Elders Holmes & Townsend & Priest Thomas they went
over to the South Island to prepare the church for the conference & to strengthen the weak for when persecution
comes many faint by the way. O may God have mercy upon Judah, Israel, Jacob, Zion & Jerrusalem. The Brethren
got quite weatt with the spray from the sea while crossing the thoroughfare. I spent the day at Br Ames. I
assisted Mrs Woodruff in aranging her trunk & other things that she might be prepared to leave the Islands on the
morrow to return to Scarborough we spent the night together at Br Ames {for the last time}
