Day in the Life

Transcript

On February 28, 1897 Wilford Woodruff wrote, 

“This was one of the most important days of my life. The sabbath school children of this stake of Zion assembled in the tabernacle. There were some 10,000 children in the building and I was called upon to address them. The scene perfectly overpowered me as the whole scene of my childhood & early manhood came upon me. The prayers I had offered to the Lord to let me live to see a prophet or apostle to teach me the gospel of Christ had been fulfilled. Here I stood in the Great Tabernacle in the Rocky Mountains filled with ten thousand children of the prophets, apostles & saints. My head was a fountain of tears. Still I addressed them, as did others, and we had a joyful time. I never saw as many sabbath school children together in my life.”

When is a time your prayers have been answered in your life?
