Yesterday’s answer:
D Gibraltar
The following in reference to the Gibraltar mission:
Nathan Porter recorded his final moments in Gibraltar: “Brother
[Edward] Stevenson accompanied me to the side of the steamer where we shook the
parting hand under circumstances to us very trying. We commended each other to
God, trusting that in his providence we would meet again in due time. I watched
his return to the shore to enter again that forbidding Fortress, whose rulers
had rejected us and forbid out testimony being sounded in her halls or on the
corners of her streets. This was the 1st day of April 1853. They doubtless thought we were both leaving
their quarters, but were April Fooled when they saw him again within the
walls.” The Mormon elders seemed to relish the opportunity to deceive the local
authorities, given how they had both been treated and one expelled from the
British colony. Elder Porter then labored as a missionary in England from 1853
to 1856.
