Yesterday’s answer:
A A stone each to build an altar
In the latter part of 1850, ten elders who had left
their homes in Utah and had for a short time been employed around the gold
diggings of California were called by Apostle Charles C. Rich to open up a
mission in Hawaii. Responding to the call, they embarked on a sailing vessel
from San Francisco, landing in Honolulu on December 12, 1850.
Hiram Clark, who had already filled several missions
for the Church, was president of the mission. Others in the group were Henry W.
Bigler, Hiram H. Blackwell, George Quayle Cannon, John Dixon, William Farrer,
James Hawkins, James Keeler, Thomas Morris, and Thomas Whittle. The following
day (with each carrying a stone) they climbed a hill that overlooked Honolulu,
erected an altar, and dedicated the land for missionary work. They were the
first LDS missionaries to serve on the Sandwich Islands, but “building the
kingdom” there was not an easy task. The governor of Hawaii refused to let them
meet freely, and Protestant ministers preached vociferously against the “Mormon
sinners.” Cannon and the others were often ill and homesick, and they soon ran
out of money.
