Anthy Lund is alive is apt to grow & morning
man is growing,

W Woodruff, The lord is dealing with this
people began as with little children. At first you
could not get a man to go five miles only he first went
to bro Joseph, & inquire of if is as the will of the Lord, Not
so now, they are called to go to the Nations. Isles of the
the Sandwich Isles, & they go without asking bro B to get
a revelation about it. The people therefore on the
advance they are improving. If this is an important
era in the K of G, & I am glad that the words sent to
the house of Israel, & should esteem this the greater
privilege to go to on a mission to them rather than to
the nations that have shed the the blood of the Prophets.
If we have the spirit of the L[ord] we shall understand the
signs of the times & not want to go to Cala. The Judgments
of the L[ord] I are going to visit the Earth, he will plead with
them with the sword, with famine, & pestilence, & he will
send messengers to them they cannot rebuke, & they will
fulfil their mission. The wheat has been deemed a burden
while we should realize that wheat grown here has been sent
as much as the manna was to the C of I, I have no
fears for the saints of the Lord if we are faithful & seek his
spirit. All the improvements & blessings the world has received
has been given by inspiration of the Lord, & they do not acknow-
ledge his hand & he is angry with them. Set us the acknowledge
his hand & we shall be blessed. It is wonderful to see this
manifestation of his power this people have received you cant
point out another place where there are as many blessings as there
are here. We have evil in our midst but the majority are
trying to do right, & we are not molested in ^our worshiping the^our works of righteou
Lord.

I am glad to be here & see your places faces to be travling
south, with them Co. You have not the privilege of meeting
with the Presidency every sunday but you can have the
Lord with your, and his spirit among you

do the will of the Lord & carry out the counsels given
us & in so doing we are blessed.
