Herself a medical doctor (of whom her husband was known to say, \u2018Bethan is a better teacher than I am\u2019), Mrs Lloyd-Jones had first to come to assurance of her own salvation before she could enter fully into the new spiritual life at Sandfields.<\/p>\n<p>The pages of <em>Memories of Sandfields<\/em> are chiefly vivid sketches of some of the converts and of the life of the spiritual family which the church became.
