Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
On the th the Quorum of the Twelve sat in
Council to consider the subject of organizing a pioneer company to go forward
and put in crops in the Spring and prepare the way for the Camp
of Israel and also to make preparations for the moving of the
camp. The forepart of the evening was occupied in
conversing upon a variety of matters. There was an intermission during
which time a little recreation was taken. Prayers were afterwards
had and Presidents Young and Kimball spoke in tongues awhile. We
then went into council and our final dicission was that we fit out
outa pioneer company and follow them as soon as grass grows
the pioneer company to go this Winter as far as they could go
on rushes and brows then as far as they could on grass until it
was time to put in their corn crop. This was the last
important action of the Quorum of the Twelve during the year
eighteen hundred and forty six.
