I left my dear parents, friends and home on June 8, 1868 and started for Utah. The voyage across the Atlantic was hard, as I had seasickness, besides being in a storm. The company I was in was able to ride on the train as far as Lawrence, Wyo, but from there we travelled by team, about 300 miles. Our provisions ran out and we were rationed with flour and water as our diet. The Gospel was all to me then just as it is now.
