In Their Own Words
“I feel very grateful to God for my experience in the missionary field. I have been made to realize that God is no respecter of persons and that the gifts and blessings enjoyed by the former day Saints are enjoyed by the Latter-day Saints. To this fact I am a living witness for I have seen the sick healed, and the manifestations of the Spirit in many other ways. — Millennial Star 51:52”
