Janet Douglas Calder — Prophetic Dream of Missionaries in Scotland

Before her conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Scotland, Janet Douglas experienced a prophetic dream. In the dream, she saw two men walking toward her home, one of whom was carrying a book that she understood to contain the word of God. She felt a profound sense of peace and recognition during the vision. Some time later, when David O. Calder and his missionary companion arrived at her door, she immediately recognized them as the men from her dream. This spiritual manifestation served as a divine confirmation of their message, leading her to investigate the gospel and eventually join the Church.

Recording note: This account is preserved in the Janet Douglas Calder life sketch held in the Daughters of Utah Pioneers History Collection and summarized in 'Our Pioneer Heritage,' vol. 3. Janet Douglas (1802–1887) was a Scottish convert; her son David O. Calder became a prominent Salt Lake City merchant and a counselor in the Presiding Bishopric. The DUP volumes are not freely available online, so no verbatim first-person text of her dream is included here.
