President Francis M. Lyman and his traveling companions were protected by the Lord during their journey through the Holy Land and surrounding regions. Specifically, during a trip to Aintab where a carriage could not be used due to deep mud and the journey had to be completed on jaded horses through wild country, the help of the Lord was evident in keeping them safe.
In Their Own Words
“The hand of the Lord in answer to fervent prayer upheld the brethren and led them out from perilous conditions. During the trip inland to Aintab, where on account of deep mud the carriage had to be abandoned and the journey continued through a wild country on jaded horses, the help of the Lord was plainly seen. — Millennial Star 64:19”
