Elizabeth Fitt, a member of the Church for fifty years, was suffering from bronchitis and croup. She prayed for healing, and subsequently Elder David K. Hendry came to her door and administered to her, after which she received her health almost immediately.

In Their Own Words

“Some time ago I was suffering from bronchitis and croup. I had a desire to be cured, and in answer to my prayers, as Saul of Tarsus received the answer to his prayers in the Lord sending Ananias His servant to bless him that he might receive his sight, so did the Lord send His servant Elder David K. Hendry to my door. He administered to me and I received my health almost immediately. I have been a member of the Church for fifty years, and I know that the Lord hears and answers the prayers of His children.”

— Elizabeth Fitt, The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71, No. 28
