On
August 20, 1852, Elders Benson, Grant, Taylor, Snow, and Richards reached Salt
Lake City. One company had arrived before them. Eight days later, President
Young conducted a special conference for more than one hundred men called on
missions, the biggest wave of missionaries yet sent out from Utah. To these men
he praised the Iowa evacuations that now made it possible to boost missionary
numbers: “There are a great many coming bro. Benson says all are coming, even
the great grand daddies, and great grand mammies; uncles and aunts, all are
coming, and I am glad of it; I rejoice for it puts us in a position that we can
send out elders from this place into all the world; whereas, before, our
circumstances needed all the men we had here to prepare for the gathering of
the saints.”
That
same day, President Young wrote to John Bernhisel, “We are now prepared to send
out Elders to the nations.” The next day in the special conference, August 29,
Elder Orson Pratt publicly announced for the Church its practice of plural
marriage, which announcement the missionaries’ would take with them to their
fields of labor.
