31 Sunday Our Brethren was at our waggon befor we
was up to bid us wanus Deas (good morning) the family
with whom we stoped treated us as well as they could
if they had been Latter Day Saints They are such in principle
we held a meeting with what their were left in the settlement
The two leading men who had followed us to Albuquerque had
not returned and others were gone herding if they had been
at home I think we should have Baptized quite a Number
of the settlement we held the meeting in the same catholic chapel
that did bf before. The Catholic Priest has great power
and influence over the Indian tribes after meeting and getting
our dinner we left and Passed the villages of Lagoonia Cuvere
Cuvera Santana and several other small villages and
