While serving as Presidents over the Scottish Saints, Samuel W. Richards experienced a dream where he foresaw that F. D. Richards would be ordained into the Quorum of the Twelve, a prophecy that was fulfilled when F. D. Richards was later called to that quorum.
In Their Own Words
“We had not been there long before he dreamed a dream, and said to me in the morning, ‘Brother Franklin, I dreamed that you were ordained into the quorum of the Twelve.’ Well, when we went over to America, we found that the same thing was under consideration. — Millennial Star 14:13”
