From the life of Sarah
Thomas Williams: Her childhood was
mostly spent in her native city, though she often visited an aunt who lived in
the village of Grosvan, nearby. On one of these visits she became converted to
the gospel and was baptized in 1844, a short time before the death of the
Prophet Joseph and while Elder William Henshaw presided over the Saints in
Wales. She was then only fifteen years old, and her parents were much opposed
to her baptism, but gave a reluctant consent. Being eager to make known to
others the truth she had embraced, she often walked miles distributing tracts
and books, and aided in converting many persons. In 1847 she met and married
David Williams, a member of the same branch. For a time they lived in the same
house with Captain Dan Jones, and both were active in missionary work. At one
time an East Indian called at the house as a testimony meeting was about to
begin. She spoke inquiringly to Captain Dan Jones, who presided, about the
strange caller, and was told to invite him in. During the meeting, the
spiritual gifts were exercised and one man, by the gift of tongues, spoke in
the native language of the East Indian, telling him he ought to be baptized.
The stranger asked to have the ordinance performed at once, but was persuaded
to wait till the close of the meeting, when it was attended to.
