While traveling by ship from Kiel to Korsør, Franklin D. Richards and Carl Widerborg both independently dreamed of being home and visiting with their families in Utah, which Richards interpreted as a divine sign that good news was waiting for them at their destination. Upon their arrival in Copenhagen, they indeed found letters from home with positive reports.
In Their Own Words
“On the ship from Kiel to Kersor, both brether Widerborg and myself dreamed of being at home, and visiting with our families in Utah. I was satisfied, at once, that good news awaited us. On our arrival at 14, Lorentzgade, both of us found letters from home. — Millennial Star 29:5”
