On Buying My House

1896

Different times I went to the coal mines that first winter, hauling our own coal. As I passed a herd of sheep on the road, I received an inspiration that I should start to herd sheep just as soon as I was able to pull my coat on alone. I took a job to herd sheep for Hyrum Taylor, and I also took up a homestead and everything began to be more agreeable for me.

I was praying all the time that Kathrine may receive a testimony where her home should be so she could be satisfied in Canada. I did fast and pray continuously that she would be united with me.

All at once the man that was owner of the house we lived in came and wanted to sell it very cheap. He was leaving the country so Kathrine got one of my brothers to come at once and release me a few days and let me come home to buy the house where my family was. My wife told me now she had got a testimony that we should have that house to be our home. Yes she told me she had received a spiritual testimony about it. That was an answer to my prayers.
