Day in the Life
Journal Entry
April 03, 1847 ~ Saturday
3rd It was A busy day with me preparing to start on the journey
we are now about to start on the pioneer Journey
to go to the mountains of Israel to find a location as
a resting place for the saints while the Judgments
of God are poured out upon the earth & the burthen
& cares of the churches & my family rest with great
wait upon my mind. I have never felt more wait
upon my mind at any time while leaving my family
to go on a mission than now. My prayer to God is
that He will sustain myself & family to meet again
on the earth as he hath done in the many mishoions I
have taken on the earth in the vineyard of the Lord
I assisted Br Richards in the evening to pack up his
waggon
