On my arrival here I experienced such a friendly reception from the ministers of the congregation, and the Brethren and Sisters, that I was quite overcome by it. I soon obtained permission to remain here. My conduct was in the beginning very unbecoming; in short I determined to act in an improper manner from the hope that they would thereby be induced to send me back however this was not the case. The love of the Brethren, Sisters, and especially the loving kindness and mercy of our Saviour presented [?] what I at that time began to experience - prevented my leaving them voluntarily. Some time after this my master having visited me and give me his blessing and permission to remain here I became contented and happy.
