In April 1880 the Church called Francis Martin Pomeroy on a
mission to the natives in the Mesa, Arizona area even though he lived in Mesa.
Why did he receive this call?
a.
He was fluent with their language
b.
He was the first LDS pioneer to
settle in Mesa
c.
The natives on occasion would camp
around his home seeking consultation with him
d.
He was the only one in the area that
had a Book of Mormon that he could read to them
Yesterday’s answer:
B From the High Lutheran Ecclesiastical Assembly
From the life of August Erickson: In 1903-1905 he
filled a mission to his native land and presided part of the time over the
Sundsvall conference. While laboring in that part of Sweden four of the Elders
were arrested for preaching the gospel and it fell to the lot of Bro. Erickson
to defend them in the police court and in the High Lutheran Ecclesiastical
Assembly, which he did in such a manner that the persecutions ended and the
Elders enjoyed peace for many years.
