Dan Jones

The night before Joseph Smith was killed in Carthage Jail, he prophesied that Dan Jones would survive to serve a mission in Wales. That event is recorded in History of the Church, Vol. 6, p. 601:

Soon after Dr. Richards retired to the bed which Joseph had left, and when all were apparently fast asleep, Joseph whispered to Dan Jones "are you afraid to die?" Dan said, "Has that time come, think you? Engaged in such a cause I do not think that death would have many terrors." Joseph replied, "You will yet see Wales, and fulfill the mission appointed you before you die."

Later that year, in August of 1844, he went to Wales with Wilford Woodruff to do missionary work in that land. His work led to the conversion of hundreds of people. He started the first foreign-language magazines for the Church, publishing a magazine in the Welsh language beginning in 1846. According to an article on "International Magazines" in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism, Vol. 2,

"Dan Jones edited and published thirty-two issues of Prophwyd y Jubili, Neu Seren y Saints (Prophet of Jubilee, New Star of Saints), filled with doctrinal and historical articles, messages from Church leaders, and replies to attacks from antagonists of the Church. Other [non-English] magazines followed."

The gift of prophecy was with the Prophet Joseph up until the last hours of his life. As Truman Madsen said "Joseph Smith lived his life in cresendo, there was no diminuendo."
