A pile of bread
Mons and Elna Larson, a convert couple from Sweden who were 1859 pioneers, saw a miracle on their journey west at a time when their company’s provisions began to run out. Company members were rationed to one pint of flour per person a day, according to a life sketch of Mons Larson written by his grandson Elliot.
One evening during this time, the Larsons camped near a river. While Mons was out fishing that night, Elna saw a tree about a mile away from their campsite and felt inspired to go to it.
“To her great surprise, there she found a pile of dry bread,” Elliott wrote. “She gathered it all in her apron and was so overjoyed that she sat down and wept.”
Mons also caught several fish that evening, and the Larsons brought these extra provisions back to their campsite.
“So that night they had a full meal, the first for many days, thus preserving their lives until help reached them,” Elliott recorded.https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/chu ... h?lang=eng
