170 years ago - May 15, 1842

15 Sunday I attended meeting at the grove. Elders L. Wight & B Young spoke in the fore part of the day & I addressed the congregation in the afternoon the first time I had spoken to the assembly at large for more than two years. After meeting I went + 2.

Vengance is mine. I will repay saith The Lord.

    What does "... I went +2.// ... " that mean?

  2. The two slashes was an error on my part -- should have been a carriage return.

    The "+2" likely means Woodruff traveled two miles that day.
