President Wilford Woodruff delivered a unique discourse during General Conference on April 3, 1898. He spoke about his life and many accidents and near death experiences.

He said “ I suppose when I was born the devil knew what I should be called to do; for there have been from the day I was born until the present two powers with me—one to kill me, the other to save me.”

It is apparent through the many experiences that he endured or escaped, that the Lord had a work for him to do. He survived being burned over his entire body, Drowning, caught in a blizzard, bitten by a mad dog and having nearly every bone in his body broken.  He said “That preserving power has followed me all the way through my life. It has been with me upon my missions abroad as well as at home. It has followed me until the present day, and I have been placed in a great many strange places."

Have you or someone you know ever had their life preserved?
