Letter from Christian Lingo Christianson, 28 November 1882
Sunset, Apache Co., Arizona, .
President Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City.
Dear Brother—Having permission from Pres-
ident Lot Smith, I inclose in his letter to you a
few lines which I am here at the quarterly Stake
Conference, which closed yesterday. We had an
exceeding good time, good instruction, and a
good time prevailed.
The Lamanites is
what I desire to write you about, as I know
that will interest you.

of Moenkopi, baptized 27 in the last three months
of the Piute branch tribe in the northern boun-

of that ordinance of the Gospel has been attend-
ed with uncommon good result and a
better understanding, as holy messengers,
as we have good reason to believe, have
administered to one of them, a lame
man, a most peculiar man, which would
indicate that God takes of the weak things
to do his great pleasure, etc. The admi-
nistration is something after this manner
—two or more persons appeared to him,
