Wales and early Mormonism

[_Tuna_Surprise]

After England, the most successful mission to the British Isles was the Welsh. Scotland had limited success and Ireland basically had no success. I've been interested in diving more into the "why" of this but have never had the chance to chase it down fully. These are some of the tidbits I have collected. If you're interested, definitely read into Captain Dan Jones - interesting stuff.

Thank you! Those look like excellent resources. That Davies fellow sounds particularly interesting.

I wonder why the Scots were so resistant to the restored gospel.... In Ireland, the Protestant and Catholic churches had the population sewn up so tightly that there was really no room for interlopers; but that wouldn't have been the case to the same extent in Scotland.

Maybe D & C 89 has something to do with it:

And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.

Touché!, as they say in Pitlochrie.
