Notater:
Between seventeen and eighteen years old he first heard the Gospel of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from a fellow worker who used to read scripture and
talk of the Mormon Church during the noon hour in the mines. This man had joined the
Church. As Brother Evans could not read himself, he memorized the passages of
scripture as the man read them.
It was customary among the young people to gather in crowds at the different
homes, for an evening of' amusement, singing being the chief recreation. Brother Evans
was a good singer and was always called upon to sing solos. In these gatherings he heard
more of the Gospel, and he would often quote the passages of scripture that he had
learned in the mines.
Through this singing he was invited to join the choir in that branch of the
Mormon Church, and by going to their meetings, he soon embraced the Gospel.
After joining the Church, 1 Jul 1861 he observed the word of wisdom, and stopped
drinking tea, which in Wales is a very important part of their food. When he refused his
tea, his mother was afraid he was not getting enough to eat. Very often she would prepare
something extra and walk to the mines to give it to him.
