Sun May 22, 1853

Beautiful morning, cool and bracing the air. At 10 o’clock the branch came together. Br. Cannon was called upon to speak first; spoke a little while [but] did not feel well. I followed on the subject of there being a famine for the word of God. I showed them the way and the order of obtaining the word of the [Lord] in all ages when there was a church on the earth. They seemed to rejoice. I told them to look to Br. Napela for the word of the Lord to them etc. Br. Napela followed with a few remarks and closed. In the afternoon met and administered the Lord’s Supper, had a good time teaching and instructing the Saints. All felt well. Administered to a man who had been down with a stroke of the palsy for years, could not stand upon his feet. We anointed him and laid hands on him. He said that he felt strange all over his body as though his flesh was coming anew and his hands getting strength again. Also laid hands on Br. Kanaunaopu and one sister.

At sundown Br. Napela arrived from Wailuku, had a good time down there, 6 baptized. He told us the Br. Uaua was in prison at Honolulu for baptizing on Sunday. The branch numbers 250 at Honolulu and baptizing daily. There was one baptized at Kula today.
