Levi Stewart, missionary service

Under date of 13 April 1843, Elder Levi Stewart wrote from Nauvoo to the  "Times and Seasons" - Editor, John Taylor:

"I have traveled near six months since July last, most of which time I labored in the southern part
of Missouri. There had been but few discourses delivered by any of the elders in these parts, therefore,
prejudice was great. After hearing the Gospel for themselves, the honest in heart began to discover
the many falsehoods that have over -run the country, and began to investigate the doctrines of Christ.
The result was, many believed, and I had more calls for preaching than I could attend to, and
through the assistance of God, I was enabled to baptize 24 souls. I left many more believing, whom
I hope will obey the Gospel. There is a great door open for preaching. My prayer to God is for the
rolling forth of His Kingdom. Until the kingdoms of this world become the Kingdoms of our God.”

Your brother in the Everlasting Covenant,

Levi Stewart.
