In Their Own Words
“She was in Canada on duty at the dedication of the Manti Temple, and on her first visit to that temple she felt a great yearning for some visible manifestation of the power of God. It was given her. As the services were beginning she beheld a most radiant and beautiful light, which shone with surpassing brilliancy even into her own eyes, and then gradually melted away. — The Young Woman's Journal 4:7”
