Visit to Texas . Thursday we went to Brother McDearman’s at Grand Prairie. Here our daughter met her parents and her brother and sister, who had all been brought near to the door of death by the fever which had prevailed in the State during the past summer. We took great pleasure in ministering to the wants of this afflicted family, who had in years past liberally assisted us in our affliction. They were somewhat improved in health when we left them to attend the Plano camp meeting, held November 12-19. Here we were happy to meet our old friends Elder R. M. Kilgore and his wife. And we were highly pleased to find a large and intelligent body of brethren on the ground. My testimony was never received more readily and heartily than by this people. I became deeply interested in the work in the great State of Texas. {LS 240.2}

Besøg i Texas
Om tirsdagen tog vi til bror McDearman’s i Grand Prairie. Her mødte vor datter sine forældre og hendes bror og søster, som har været dødens dør nær på grund af den feber der hærgede i staten i sidste sommer. Vi havde fornøjelsen at tjene denne forpinte families mangler, som i de seneste år har hjulpet os gavnmildt i vore pinsler. De var blevet noget sundere, da vi forlod dem, for at deltage i Plano lejrmødet, som blev afholdt den 12.-19. november. Her var vi glade for at møde vore gamle venner ældre R. M: Kilgore og hans hustru. Og vi var meget tilfreds med at finde en stor og forstandig forsamling af brødre på pladsen. Mit vidnesbyrd har aldrig før blevet modtaget så hurtigt og hjerteligt som af dette folk. Jeg blev dybt interesseret i arbejdet i denne store Texas-stat.
