When Jonathan Crosby was seventeen years old, he got hurt and developed a serious sore on his side. The Destroyer, as Crosby refers to it, seemed to have claimed him, and the neighbors thought he was going to die. However, their Father in Heaven thought differently. By His blessing, Crosby's life was spared through medical treatment that the Lord blessed. Though he was not able to do much of anything for six months or more and felt the effects of it for the rest of his life, he was miraculously preserved to live and fulfill his mission in the gospel. This healing, though leaving lasting effects, allowed him to continue in God's work.
