Robyn Lively Johnson's 49th Birthday

A have had a question, I have been praying to Heavenly Father for some time asking Him to give me an answer.  This question has been on my mind for some time, why are some children are born with particular challenges they must deal will all their lives.                                                                          I watched a movie on TV, "Palmer", using the filter on VidAngel to clean it up, taking all the bad language and bad seen out with a special filter.  The storyline in the movie would not leave me and during the night I woke with this thought, "LOVE TRUMPS ALL THE OLD LAWS".

 JOHN MORGAN CONTINUED - RESTORATION TO LIFE EXPERIENCE

This sacred experience is known only because it was recorded in a letter written by President John L. Herrick President of the Western States Mission in the early 1900s. 

 President Herrick tells of going to Pueblo Colorado for a conference and upon his arrival meeting a Brother Henager who had come from Victor, Colorado for the conference.  Brother Henager was about 40 years old and President Herrick was very impressed by him.  At the final conference session on Sunday evening, President Herrick invited Brother Henager to the stand to bear his testimony.

  In his testimony, Brother Henager told of his family living in Burgesgarten, Virginia when John Morgan was President of the Southern States Mission.  After President Morgan had spoken at a meeting about thirty miles from Burgesgarten he had inquired of a family member why his parents were not at the meeting and was told they had a very sick child.  President Morgan said he had a message for them and he must get it to them.                  

 He arrived at the home at about three in the morning several hours after the sick child had died.  President Morgan went to the ten years old boy prayed for him, blessed him and raised him to life. 

 The boy went to school the next morning giving his teacher quite a fright as word had gotten around that he had died the night before.  I was that boy stated Brother Henager.                                                                            Taken from The Faith of Our Pioneer Fathers by Bryant S.
