Earning Means to Visit Western New York . Two years before, I had been shown that at some future time we should visit western New York. And now, shortly after the close of the conference at Rocky Hill, we were invited to attend a general meeting at Volney, N. Y., in August. Brother Hiram Edson wrote to us that the brethren were generally poor, and that he could not promise that they would do much toward defraying our expenses, but that he would do what he could. We had no means with which to travel. My husband’s health was poor, but the way opened for him to work in the hayfield, and he decided to accept the work. {LS 108.3}

Tjene midler til at besøge Vest-New York
To år tidligere fik jeg vist at vi skulle besøge nogle i vest New York i fremtiden. Og nu, kort efter Rocky Hill-konferensens afslutning, blev vi indbudt til at deltage ved et hovedmøde i Volney, N. Y., i august. Bror Hiram Edson skrev til os at brødrene var generelt fattige, og at han ikke kunne love at de kunne gøre så meget for at afholde vore omkostninger, men at han ville gøre (109) hvad han kunne. Vi havde ingen midler at rejse for. Min mands helbred var dårligt, men vejen åbnede sig for ham, at arbejde på en mark med hø, og han besluttede sig for at tage arbejdet.
