“Go Ye into All the World, and Preach My Gospel”
Elder Erastus Snow departed on a mission to Pennsylvania April 16, 1836 with nothing but the items above. He was absent over eight months, during which time he traveled 1,600 miles, preached 220 sermons, baptized 50 persons, and organized several branches of the Church in western Pennsylvania. Consider the sacrifice, courage, and faith it took for Elder Snow to undertake this missionary journey as the Lord directed.
This lesson includes a discussion of the missionary work carried out at great sacrifice by Saints living in Kirtland, Ohio. These missionaries helped convert many people to the gospel, strengthening the young Church.

- The Lord poured out great blessings during the Kirtland period.
- The Saints in Kirtland made great sacrifices to share the gospel.
- Members of the Quorum of the Twelve taught thousands in England.
- Many Saints in Kirtland remained valiant despite persecution.
