Letter from Carl J. Renstrom, 28 December 1894
Lynne, Weber Co., President Wilford Woodruff: Dear bro: Yours of the 17th inst. is received, informing me that my name has been accepted as a missionary to Scandinavia. I feel thankful to my Heavenly Father that I am counted worthy to carry the Message of Salvation to the nations of the earth; and my joy will be great if only I can be a humble instrument in the hands of the Lord in bringing some to the knowledge of and obedi- ence to the fullness of the Gospel as revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith. To this end I will devote my time, the limited means I posess, and the ability God shall give me. I therefore accept with ^pleasure^ and as a blessing the call to go on this mission; and unless prevented by some unforeseen event, I will be at the Historian's Office, S. L.

Please inform me on what Ry. the missionaries will travel from here Geo. Smuin B. P Lynne Ward O.K. GR 2458, ad, Grant. av.

There are two branches in the ward which requires my presence each alternate Sunday—hence the necessity of
