Yesterday’s answer:
B A festival was held for her
From the life of Mary Pearce Ballantyne: Mary, a
devout Methodist, was on her way to services one Sunday when she was attracted
to a Latter-day Saint handbill. Stopping, she offered a prayer for light and
guidance and was impressed to go to the meeting of the Latter-day Saints. When
Elder George Clark spoke at that meeting, Mary felt every word uttered was
meant for her. She was baptized in the River Thames, February, 19, 1849, when a
thick ice on the river had to be broken to perform the ordinance. A festival
was given in her honor and money was raised for her trip to Zion.
Mary would tell of how the cholera plagued wagon train ahead of
them had borrowed Edward Stevenson, a friend of her fathers, to replace ill
teamsters. He was lent with the promise that the train would have no more
cholera, and the promise was kept. She also loved to tell of her most amazing
venture into the chasm at Devils Gate on the Sweetwater. Others turned back
when the swift water and cliffs seemed to formidable, but Mary determined to
finish the feat. She reached a point where she could go no further nor dared go
back. At that point a man appeared, lifted her down and told her that the wagon
train was a short distance ahead, then suddenly and mysteriously he
disappeared.
