I think you mean "the first female to be baptized into the true, restored, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in this, the last dispensation." There have been, in fact, many women who have been baptized into the true, original, former-days, Church of Christ, in previous dispensations.

My mothers family has similar history of the race between the first two women. Where my 2nd great grand mother Ellen Pucell ran against Jennetta Richards who later married Willard Richards. My GG Ellen was ten years old when she came across the plains in the infamous Martin handcart company she had her feet frozen and had them amputated below the knees.

In late 90s I served my mission in Preston and Liverpool!! Amazing spirit and people there. Wonderful video of the amazing history there!! The field was truly ready to harvest. Part of my heart will ALWAYS be there❤❤❤❤

I cannot believe this was made just this year!!!! I LOVE the legacy sculpture!!!! Those were some of my ancestors that boarded those boats including a great grandmother escaping physical abuse. So so grateful to her forever!

I am so grateful that my ancestors had the testimony of the gospel and packed up and moved to the U.S. especially Utah. My family has truly been blessed.

The older man according to family records was an ancestor Henry Clegg. Heber City , Utah was named after Heber C Kimball. My brother eight years ago as a senior missionary, drew his last breath serving in London.

Wow, great history! Willard and Jeanetta Richards are my family, and it's great to see where Jeanetta lived, she mentions the river and the valley, in her letters.

My Great Grandfather was one of those who were baptized in Preston. This is a great video!

One of my ancestors Joseph Fielding was one of those first missionaries. This video has increased my love for him, and my gratitude to him for bringing my family into the Church. Thank you brother Griffiths.

I served my mission in England, in the England Coventry Mission. I served in Birkenhead, across from Liverpool. Unfortunately, I could not visit Liverpool because it was a different mission. My colleague and I had the opportunity to wait for our bus, by the Mersey River. It was neat to know what happened there with the first migrants. We had to go to Liverpool once, because I had lost my bus pass and to get it renewed, we had to have a special permission from the mission. This was a very short visit to Liverpool. No time for site seeing.

Your a diamond geezer for bringing this about mate! Cheers!

Would have been nice if he'd stuck to church history, instead of short, minimal snippets of it, in between the fascination with tourist attractions and what it's like to be a tourist in modern Britain. 6 minutes in, and I can tell this won't have much history in it.

I join with many of you that my mothers grandparents were from England, the Greens and Tomlinsons came to Utah and joined their families. Glory to those early missionaries who gave their all in preaching the gospel to those wonderful people of England!

Fabulous video! What great scenery. I love seeing the places of these original events. Now I must visit England!

I love the Gospel. The dedication of these missionaries is a real testiment to the Church of ajrsus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My neighbor here in Canada is proof of that. Her father and mother both were off spring of these early missionaries. Her relatives still are active members in England. I love the history of the church growth throughout the world. ❤

Really looking forward to part 2. So well done. Thank you to our brothers and sisters in the British Isles who are so welcoming and for sharing their part of our churches history with us in this video.

“They seemed to tax everything” we continue to ignore the lessons of the past. Why our ancestors left this beautiful country

I’ve heard that one King decided to tax each house according to the number of windows. The residents would board up all but one window to avoid the tax. They called them “spite windows”.

Such a wonderful video! Thank you.

Peter is the absolute best!! I've done 2 church history tours of England with him, and they were both wonderful and tailored to our group.

Really impressed with the production value. Looking forward to part two 👍

Where is the cover image of a young Heber C. Kimball from? It is striking.

Great job!!!

Ah yes, good old "let's tax everything" strategy. That's England for you.

It’s too bad that you did not even mention the name of Joseph Fielding who’s brother was the one where the missionaries had their first success. It was also his brother-in-law church congregation in Bedford where Willard Richards had his success on this first mission. One could say that the communications of the Fielding family was the key too why Heber C. Kimball went to Preston. Joseph Fielding was his companion and was called to be the mission president upon the departure of Kimball. Make sure you cover the full story.

Love the video. Wondering if you guys have some information about Harrison Burgess's mission in England.

Just FYI, that's not the London Bridge you showed, that's Tower Bridge.

I love the videos you're making, Brother Griffiths! "*not actual missionaries" 😂😂

❤❤❤

Homeless and poor in the streets, and tax everything. So what your telling me is , American has become old England.

That is the Tower Bridge, not London Bridge.

Who would have thought that this was all possible due to Joseph Smith being able to translate the gold plates into English by looking at a stone in an ordinary white top hat. Also interesting how Joseph Smith married Helen Mar Kimball.

Liar, Herbert, is there anything in scripture that Jesus said, which could be or should be treated as trivial and not necessary for salvation????

Back in Mormonism’s inception in the 1830s, it was possible to make very sensational-and very unsubstantiated-claims. Almost 200 years later, advances and discoveries in anthropology, linguistics, archaeology, DNA and other sciences allow for a more forensic examination of such claims. Let’s take just one-the claim that some Israelites came and settled in the Americas, and on such a scale that millions could be lost in battle. Mormons say this is historical fact-others say it’s nonsense. What do the aforementioned sciences-and common sense reveal to the objective observer, one not clouded by cognitive dissonance? We only have two options-the claim there is evidence Israelite immigrants were on this continent, or there is no such evidence. Anyone with even a cursory acquaintance with scripture knows the Israelites were an Iron Age people, had the wheel (carts, wagons, chariots), plowed with draft animals, used potter’s wheels, made and used glass, wrote in alphabetic characters, used base ten numbers, and spoke their own distinct Semitic language. A boat ride from the Middle East to the Americas would not change any of that. Yet, we find NONE of these things in the New World at that time, nothing, nada, zilch. If you got on a ship, and sailed somewhere else, how much of this would you suddenly forget? Would your DNA change on this boat trip-putting you on a completely different branch of the human family? Even when people break off from others, some things ALWAYS, ALWAYS stay the same. For instance, when America broke off from England, they went from the pound to the dollar-but you would NEVER go from a base ten numerical system to a six. . .ever. It would completely upend your mathematics, currency, calendars, and well, everything numerical. So, we are left with two possibilities: The Israelites, and the inhabitants of the Americas not only were not the same peoples-they never even met each other. Or. . . Iron Age immigrants apparently managed to somehow forget what a wheel was, how to smelt iron, use wagons and carts, plow animals, make pottery or glass, speak or write their own language-and inexplicably converted from the base ten number system-on a single boat trip. Oh, and their DNA changed-a biological impossibility. EVERYTHING ELSE about Mormonism and The Book of Mormon hinges on the claim that Israelites came to The New World in the time frame alleged by Joseph Smith. If this “historical account” is just incredibly clumsy, EASILY debunked mythology, it knocks the legs out from under ALL Mormon theology. So, the real question is: Where does this evidence point?
