17 Miracles Page #4

It is the lateness

of the season.

If the weak, old, and sickly

continue in this late season,

their bones will strew the way.

The God I serve is a God that is

able to save to the uttermost.

Levi Savage is an opposer of

those who were placed over him,

and I call him to repent!

Now, those who desire

to continue on toward Zion,

raise the shown hand.

Thank you.

What I said I know to be true.

But seeing that you are to

go forward, I will go with you,

help you all that I can...

Work with you, suffer with you,

and if necessary,

I will die with you.

may God...

In His mercy...

Bless and preserve us.

August 17, 1856.

This afternoon, the first

and second hundreds moved out.

And though they did not have

even the basic skills

of a frontiersman,

they were disciples of the Lord

and did have what it would take

to become heroes.

Whose turn?

Bodil!

Annie-I-Over!

Though the trek

was extremely difficult,

there were moments on the trail

that were as magnificent

as anything

I had ever experienced.

Bodil!

Sin tid til braende!

Ja Herre!

But play time

was never enough time.

And in a handcart company,

even a small child

had chores to do.

Yes?

Captain Willie, I would like

to resign as sub-captain.

Denied.

You have no trust

in my judgment, sir.

No such thing, Brother Savage.

You make a point, to be sure.

But did you really think over your plan

to stay here through the winter?

There are over 500 of us.

And there is not a town

within 300 miles

with sufficient provisions

to see us through the winter.

And that is if we had the means

to purchase them!

We would all starve!

-Captain Willie, I firmly --

-Brother Savage, no.

We have escaped Babylon,

and we cannot turn back.

George?

Have you begun a journal?

Perhaps.

Or perhaps

it is thoughts of you.

Oh, really?

May I see it?

Later.

Are you a good boy?

Then he's yours.

Brethren, as wolves and Indians

seem to be prevalent

through these parts,

though I am sorry to ask,

I will need an added volunteer

for guard watch tonight.

I will take it, Brother Savage.

Who spoke?

Who else sounds like this?

You'll see better up here.

Thank you for this, Albert.

You're a fine young man.

We must do all we can.

I owe this Gospel all I have.

Prior, I was only someone

to poke fun at.

But the missionaries taught me

that I am important

and that someday

I will be superb.

Well, I feel sorry for any wolf

that dares come near you

tonight, Albert.

He does,

and I'll beat him to a pulp!

You do that.

Now, do you know

how to use one of these?

Oh, certainly.

This is my favorite kind!

I shot this hundreds of times.

Perhaps a little refresher

wouldn't hurt.

Help! Somebody help!

Albert!
