Elizabeth Wootton Robinson — Answered Prayer for Sustenance in the Cotton Mission

During the early years of the Cotton Mission, the Robinson family faced extreme poverty and food scarcity in the harsh environment of Southern Utah. On one occasion, the family's food supply was entirely exhausted, leaving them with no bread for the children. Elizabeth Wootton Robinson, known for her deep spiritual conviction, gathered her children and offered a fervent prayer for help. According to the family record, shortly after the prayer, an unexpected provision of flour arrived—delivered by a neighbor who felt a strong, unexplained impression to share their own meager supplies. The family viewed this as a direct answer to Elizabeth's prayer and a sign of God's watchcare over the pioneers.
