Yesterday’s answer:
A 6
When Matthew Cowley was only
six years of age, he received a patriarchal blessing in which his remarkable
ministry among the Maoris was foreshadowed: “you shall be sent as a delegate to
the ten tribes and will become a leader and an interpreter in the midst of that
people, and because of the power of God that shall be with you and the
blessings of the Almighty, you shall be greatly beloved by that people.” At the
age of seventeen Elder Cowley served a mission to New Zealand and witnessed the
fulfillment of the promise that he would be “an interpreter.” He translate the
Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price into the native New Zealand
tongue and edited the Book of Mormon, which had previously been translated.
This mission lasted five years, from 1914 to 1919, and included the period of
World War I. In 1938 he returned as mission president for an eight-year
assignment spanning World War II. During this time he and his missionaries
carried the message of peace to the war-threatened New Zealanders.
