In about three weeks I fainted and fell to the floor, and remained nearly unconscious about thirty-six hours. It was feared that I could not live, but in answer to prayer I again revived. One week later I received a shock upon my left side. I had a strange sensation of coldness and numbness in my head, and severe pain in my temples. My tongue seemed heavy and numb; I could not speak plainly. My left arm and side were helpless. {LS 151.3}

I omkring tre uger besvimede jeg og faldt på gulvet og forblev nærmest bevidstløs i omkring seksogtredive timer. Det frygtes at jeg ikke kunne overleve, men som svar på bøn livede jeg op igen. En uge senere fik jeg et chok i min venstre side. Jeg havde en fremmed følelse af kulde og følelse i mit hoved og stærk smerte i mine tindinger. Min tunge synes tung og følelsesløs; jeg kunne ikke tale klart. Min venstre arm og side var hjælpeløs.
