No I had tarried to long already I drove on briskly ^sprightly^ and
when within 15 miles of wasatch a furious snow
storm overtook me, the wind blowig heavily in my face in
fifteen minutes I could see no ^the any^ road whatever and knew
not where or how to guide my horses, and I left my lines
loosly on my horses went inside my waggon, tied down the
cover and committed my life & guideance in the hands of
the Lord and trusted to my horses to find the [way] as they had
twice just passed over the road, I prayed to the Lord to forgive
my sins for not obeying the voice of the spirit to me & prayed that He
would preserve my life. My horses brought me into the wasatch
Station at 9 oclock in the evening with the hubs of my wagon draging
in the snow, I got my horses under cover and had to remain
there until next monday night with the snow six feet deep on
the level & still snowing and it was with great difficulty at last
that I saved the life of my horses by getting them on a box car & taking
them to Ogden while if I had obeyed the revelation of the spirit
of God to me I should have arrived in Salt Lake City over a good
road without any storm. Therefore as I have recorded the good & the evil
th[e] result of obediance & disobediance I think I am qualified to
exhort all yo my young friends to always obey the whispering of the of the spirit
of God to you and you will always be safe. The spirt of God will rule
and preside over all men who will permit it & seek for it, and this is
very necessary for young Elders who are laboring in the vineyard of the Lord
for the Lord knows where the righteous livest & meek of the Earth are
