Elder Frank D. Price, while traveling to his mission in South Africa, was informed at Liverpool that he would have to travel alone. This caused him to be tempted to abandon his mission. He experienced a feeling of restlessness, but knew he had been called by the servants of the Lord. He felt assured that if he did his part, the Lord would land him in South Africa safely. He later related an incident in answer to prayer that strengthened his testimony.

He then related an incident in answer to prayer which has added greatly to his testimony. — Millennial Star 77:4”
