Abraham Cannon continues the record of his missionary service in Germany. He writes of his experiences with the culture and people of Germany. He works with members of the Church and teaches the gospel to investigators. He keeps an eye on world news and occasionally writes of political events. He leads a large group of Saints from Germany to England so they can travel by ship from there for the United States and gather in Utah. Abraham's brother John Q. joins him on his mission.
