Sat May 28, 1853

This day we all fasted for the spirit to be with us on the morrow. About 1 p.m. Brs. H. and Reddin A. Allred arrived from Kula. They had baptized that cripple and 7 others, Kapono and Kekoa among them, two deacons from Rev. Green’s church. At 2 [o’clock] met for prayer and praise, had much of the spirit of the Lord. All felt humble and confessed our sins, and the Lord did pour His spirit upon us. Brs. C., Keeler and myself went down and administered to Br. Uaua’s child. In the evening met. When we returned we found Brs. MacBride and Lawson had arrived from Makawao. In the evening held a council meeting to choose candidates for the priesthood to be ordained on the morrow. Br. C. presided, I was chosen clerk; had a good spirit with us, and all went off harmoniously. Two were chosen for the high priesthood, (Br. Napela and Kaleohano) and 7 for the lesser priesthood, adjourned about 10 o’clock sine die.
