Day in the Life
Journal Entry
Oct 10th
I recieved two letters one from Brothers
Marryweather & Miles & one from Brother Wm Evans who
was cut off afrom the Church at New York He confesses his
sins and wants to return to the Church I advised him to
make satisfaction to the New York Branch & come in by
the door I wrote two letters one to Evans & one to Jacob
Gibson. I recieved also one letter from Br gibson
During the evening we had the Happy privilege of going
down into the water of Baptism & administering the
ordinance of Baptism to Sister Shuah C. Moulton Mrs
Woodruff own sister this makes another one of the family
who is in the Church. Now Father & Mother Carter & four of
his daughters are in the Church. Father Joseph Smith sen the
first Patriarch of the Church when he gave Phebe W. Woodruff
her patriarchal blessing he promised that she should have
her Fathers Household with her in the kingdom of God she
has now one sister & three Brothers out of the Church And
my prayer to God is that they may yet embrace the gospel
