Yesterday’s answer:
C. Italy
In the
momentous October 1849 general conference, Apostle Lorenzo Snow and Sicilian
native Joseph Toronto received calls to Italy, which at the time was made up of
several political entities united by language and strong ties with Roman
Catholicism. While on his way to the mission field Elder Snow found information
in a public library about a group of twenty thousand Protestants know as
Waldenses, who were living in several villages in the mountain valleys of
Piedmont, Italy. Elder Snow hoped to visit the group as part of his effort to
bring the restored gospel to the region. He called upon two English elders, T.
B. H. Stenhouse and Jabez Woodard, to accompany him and Elder Toronto. At Torre
Pellice, the largest Waldensain village in Piedmont, the missionaries dedicated
the land on a nearby mountain they called “Mount Brigham.”
