At the end of that mission in 1862, he led a company of 337 Scandinavian Saints to Zion. They sailed from Hamburg on the ship “The Electric” on 18 April 1862, and landed in New York on 5 June.
At Florence, he was appointed as long as there were any Dances there, and then he joined the John R. Murdock company in 1862 and traveled home. He served as an interpreter for the Scandinavians along the way.
