Jonathan Steggell's Healing from Consumption

“April 29, 1866, I was set apart for a mission to Europe, for the benefit of my health and to preach the Gospel, I having previously been in a consumption for two years and four months. Eighteen of that time I lay in bed on my right side, and could not be raised upright, for in doing so would my bones protruded through my side in three places, and I could not be lifted from the bed except by the corners of the blankets, and it seemed an impossibility for me to ever get well; but the Lord heard my prayers and those of my brethren, and healed me by his almighty power, and all who saw me at the time of my affliction cannot but acknowledge that it was a great miracle. When I left Salt Lake City, I had recovered so far as to be able to walk a mile without resting, and President Brigham Young told me to go in the name of the Lord, and that I should be all right by the time I arrived at the Missouri river. I had faith in the promise of God through his servant, and whilst travelling by the Sweetwater, I performed a journey of twenty-one miles on foot in one day.”
