Day in the Life

Transcript

Hi, everyone. I'm Kaitlin and this is another day in the life of Wilford Woodruff from April 11, 1834.

Wilford Woodruff writes,

“With my horses and wagon, I took brothers Harry Brown and Warren Ingles, and started for Zion. I met with Orson Pratt, John Murdoch and other Elders, on the way, and arrived in Kirtland on the 25th day of April, 1834. The Prophet Joseph invited me to make his house my home; I accepted his offer, and stayed with him about one week. I became acquainted with many of the High Priests, Elders and Saints. I spent one Sabbath in Kirtland, and heard many of the Elders speak, and I felt to rejoice before God for the light and knowledge which was manifested to me during that day.”

Moving cities can be scary and difficult for so many reasons. What tender mercies has the Lord given you when going to a new place?
