2nd Sunday I preached twice in Dymock &
Elder G. A. Smith preached in Ledbury
I am happy to learn on our return to the church
es in Herefordshire & adjoining country that the
work of God [is] rolling on rapidly upon evry
hand The Elders & Priest are universally blessed
in ther ministry in this part of the vineyard
they are Baptizing daily Elder Richardson has
Baptized about 40 since his arival & Elder Key
about 20. Elders Kington, Browett, Benbow, Cheese,
Clark, & others have Baptized many. We have
Baptized 40 this day in different parts of the
vineyard in this region. There has been about
250 Baptized in this region since the conferenc
which we held in this region. ^repetition^ The churches here
now number about 800 all of which have embraced
the gospel within five months from the Church
of England & all other Prodtestant churches. We have
Baptized several clarks of the Church of England
& aosm of the leading Musicians. Elder G. A. Smith
& myself have not Baptized any ourselves
since we came this last time But we Preach the
Gospel, council, & lay on hands for confirmation
but call upon others to Baptize. We are looking
for Elder Kimball evry day & as soon as he
arives we shall take our leave of the Saints here
& go to the city of LONDON & warn the inha
bitants thereof & Preach the gospel unto them
I Pray the Lodrd to send the Angel of his presens
before us & prepare the way that much good may
be done in the name of the Lord. I feel thankf
ul to our Heavenly father for opening such a spedy
& effectual door in this region of country
I confirmed one at Dymock & spent the night at
Elder Kingtons
