Christal Methvin was a ten-year old girl, living in Louisiana, who died of bone cancer in 1974. Thomas S. Monson, current President of the LDS Church and an Apostle at the time, traveled on a church assignment to Shreveport when she was deathly ill. Although she didn't know him or that he would be coming to Louisiana, she picked him out from a picture of all the church leaders and prayed that he would come to her home to give her a blessing of comfort. His assignment to Shreveport came at the last minute. At first, because of his tight schedule, he didn't think he would have the time to travel to her home 80 miles away, but he was prompted to go anyway, and left very early the next morning, before the meetings were to begin. When he arrived at her home, she told him that she knew he would come. She died four days later.
