16 This was an interesting day I met at the counsel
House A company of Elders & spent the whole day in
teaching 45 Elders that were going on Foreign Mission
to China Australia, Siam, Hindustan, the Isles of the sea
Brother Joseph Young & J M. Grant Assisted in Blessing the
Elders. The spirit & power of God rested upon us in a great
degree the Heavens was opened unto us & our minds was
filled with visions Revelations & Prophesy & we sealed
great Blessings upon their heads as we were moved upon by
the Holy Ghost & we told them things that would befal them
by sea & by land they will do a great work & gather many
saints & much wealth to Zion
