Susa Young Gates's Miraculous Healing and Blessing by President F. M. Lyman

After Susa Young Gates fell dangerously ill for a month in Geneva following her strenuous work as the U.S. delegate to the International Council of Women’s Congress in Copenhagen, she returned to London and received a priesthood blessing from President F. M. Lyman that changed the current of her life, leading to her recovery and subsequent service in the Church.

Fuller account of this event (in the witness’s own words):

When I reached London on my return trip home, I received a blessing from President F. M. Lyman which changed the current of my public labors. I had been very ill for a month in Geneva, and I was still weak and suffering. President Lyman began his blessing by dedicating me to the Lord, adding that I ought not to shrink from going on the Other Side for there was much greater scope for any gifts and talents I might have there, and that my father and the Prophet wanted me there—then he paused and after a few silent moments he began again by saying there had been a council held over there, and it was decided that I should remain on earth to be a help to my husband and family and to take up a work that had not been done so far in the Church. I came home! I took up the work of genealogy and temple recording, and I have been busy ever since.
