== Primi anni di servizio ==

Mentre viveva a Kirtland nel 1837, Snow fu chiamato a servire per un breve periodo la [[Missionario mormone|missione]] in [[Ohio]], viaggiando "senza borsa né bisaccia." Quando tornò a Kirtland nel 1838, Snow trovò i seguaci di Smith in tumulto a causa del fallimento della [[Kirtland Safety Society]]. Snow e i membri della sua famiglia decisero di trasferirsi nel [[Missouri]] nell'estate del 1838 e si unirono all'insediamento mormone vicino a [[Far West (Missouri)|Far West]]. Snow si ammalò seriamente e fu curato per molte settimane dalla sorella Eliza.

While living in Kirtland in 1837, Snow was called to serve a short [[Mormon missionary|mission]] in [[Ohio]], traveling "without purse or scrip." He recorded that relying on the kindness of others for his meals and lodging was difficult for him, as he had always had sufficient means to care for himself. When he returned to Kirtland in 1838, Snow found Smith's followers in turmoil over the failure of the [[Kirtland Safety Society]]. Snow and the members of his extended family chose to move to [[Missouri]] in the summer of 1838 and join the [[Latter Day Saint]]s settling near [[Far West, Missouri|Far West]]. Snow became seriously ill with a fever, and was nursed for several weeks by his sister Eliza.

On his recovery, Snow left for a second mission to [[Illinois]] and [[Kentucky]] in the fall of 1838. He served there through February 1839, when he learned that the Latter Day Saints had been expelled from their settlements in Missouri. He traveled home by way of his former mission area in Ohio. He was again taken ill and was cared for by members of the church. He remained in Ohio, preaching and working with church members until the fall of 1839. During the school year of 1839–40, Snow taught in [[Shalersville Township, Portage County, Ohio|Shalersville, Ohio]]. He sent money to his family, which had by then settled in [[Nauvoo, Illinois]]. He joined them in May 1840.
