After my return to London, I decided to do something to help my brothers in the seminary. I suggested we meet together every morning from six until eight to pray and read the Scriptures. After the evening prayer, my communion with God was so sweet that I would continue praying until after midnight. Then I would go to a brother’s room, and we would pray together until one or two in the morning. Even then, I was sometimes so full of joy that I could not sleep. At six in the morning, I would again call the brethren together for prayer.

INSTRUCTIONS

CHRISTIE ASPEGREN FGXF83A
Lightly butter a 2-quart or slightly larger ovenproof baking dish. Set
aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter the slices of bread on
one side, using the 4 tablespoons butter. Cut each slice of bread in half
on the diagonal, forming two triangles; arrange the pieces, buttered side
down, on the bottom of the baking dish. Scatter the peach slices over and
between the slices of bread. Beat the eggs, egg yolks and sugar-spice blend
in a large mixing bowl for 3 to 4 minutes, or until well blended. Whisk in
the milk and heavy cream. Blend in the salt and vanilla. Pour the mixture
over the bread. Let stand for 30 minutes. Place the dish of pudding in
another baking dish, large enough to accommodate it. Pour enough warm water
in the pan to rise a little less than halfway up the sides of the dish
holding the pudding. Bake the entire assembly on a rack in the lower third
of the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until just set. (A knife
inserted 2 inches from the edge will emerge without any moist particles
clinging to it.) Carefully remove the pudding dish from the water bath and
place it on a cooling rack. Cut the pudding into squares and serve warm or
at room temperature, sprinkled with a little confectioners' sugar if you
like. Serves 8.
