During the early settlement period in Kanab, Utah, Ruth recorded an instance of divine protection where she felt a strong spiritual impression, described as a 'warning voice' of the Holy Ghost. This prompting led her to avoid a specific path or activity that she later discovered would have placed her in significant physical danger due to the environmental hazards or local tensions prevalent in Southern Utah at the time. She attributed her safety directly to this divine guidance.
