During an expedition to explore and settle Arizona, a group of Latter-day Saints led by Daniel W. Jones ran out of water and faced the threat of perishing in the desert. The group prayed for divine assistance. Shortly thereafter, rain and snow fell in the area, providing the necessary water for their survival and the continuation of their mission.
