IN the year
1741 I was received into the great girls Choir
and in the same year I enjoyed the holy
Communion for the first time, which was
an unspeakable blessing to my heart. At
that time there was a company of great
girls which the late Count took par-
ticular care of, he kept us Choir meetings
and instructed us how to become useful
in our Savior's service. I was appoin-
ted to keep the Children's and great girls bands
, and enjoyed many blessings from <persname>our Savior</persname>,
when we spoke together of his great love and mercy.
Soon after I had the office of an assistant among ///
the Children conferred upon me and
moved in the same year with this Oeco-
nomy to <placename>Herrnhaag</placename>. All these appoint-
ments taught me to come into closer
connection with <persname>our Savior</persname> and showed
me that I could do nothing of myself.
His mercy and love shown to me bowed
me in the dust before him. I had the
confidence to cleave to him as a poor
sinner, and believed he would help me
thro'. 1743 I was accepted an acoluth
with a large company, which encouraged
me anew to live to him and
serve him as a poor Child that has
nothing to plead but his mercy from
day to day. 1744 I was received
into the Single Sisters Choir and 1747
blessed for a Deaconess. 1748 I received
a Call to be Single Sister Laboress at Beth-
lehem in America. In London February
the 10th I was blessed for my office and
set out in June. Sept the 20th I
arrived in <placename>Bethlehem</placename> after a trouble-
some voyage. I cannot but take no-
that this year the 13th of November
was celebrated the first time in
