From a letter written by Elder Orson Hyde of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on 22 November 1841:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I have only time to say that I have seen Jerusalem precisely according to the vision which I had. I saw no one with me in the vision; and although Elder Page was appointed to accompany me there, yet I found myself there alone.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Lord knows that I have had a hard time, and suffered much, but I have great reason to thank Him that I enjoy good health at present, and have a prospect before me of soon going to a civilized country, where I shall see no more turbans or camels. The heat is most oppressive, and has been all through Syria.<\/span><\/p>\nI have not time to tell you how many days I have been at sea, without food, or how many snails I have eaten; but if I had had plenty of them, I should have done very well. All this is contained in a former letter to you written from Jaffa.<\/span><\/p>\nI have been at Cairo, on the Nile, because I could not get a passage direct. Syria is in a dreadful state \u2014 a war of extermination is going on between the Druses and Catholics. . . .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOn Sunday morning, October 24, a good while before day, I arose from sleep, and went out of the city as soon as the gates were opened, crossed the brook Kedron, and went upon the Mount of Olives, and there, in solemn silence, with pen, ink, and paper, just as I saw in the vision, offered up the following prayer to Him who lives forever and ever.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been really hot here for the past few days, too.<\/p>\n
