a female we called upon her sister weas
we passed along & she said she would obey
the gospel also. We then called upon another

made objections to being Baptized then
because she had a dead child in the house
I told her to lett let the dead bury the
Dead [Luke 9:60] but rise & follow Christ & she did
& we walked two miles & I baptized
