Dear Brethren and Slsters-Soon
a year will have passed since | left
my family, relations and friends to de-
clare the Gospel of Jesus Christ in for
elgn lands. Well | do remember the
hearty farewell party rendered Brother
Hansen and me on our departure to
our respective fields of labor and also
the beautiful autumnal morning that l
bade good bye to the magnificent Utah
valley and especially to that part and
that people where l have made my
home.
In my journeying over land and sea
I was richly blest. 1t was my pleasure
to visit Independence, Mo-, and stand
upon that choice piece of land desig-
mated by God, Himself as the place
where the New Jerusalem shall be
built and where the Temple shall stand
reared in this generation with the
glory of the Lord resting upon 1t. Five
