In the Bear Lake Stake, a small boy, when confronted with his sister being sick nigh unto death, told the family not to fear, as he would go and pray for her that she would get better. His faith and prayer resulted in her recovery.
In Their Own Words
“One little boy said of his sister, sick nigh unto death, Don’t fear, I will go and pray for her and she will get better ;” and it was according to his faith. — Millennial Star 42:39”
