After a long, discouraging day as a young missionary in 1948, President M. Russell Ballard walked along the Trent River in Nottingham, England.
“I knew that the Lord knew that I was there. ‘Did you see anything?’ No. ‘Did you hear any voices?’ No. But I had a witness — an experience,” recalled President Ballard, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
In this Church News video, titled “Walking Along the Trent River,” President Ballard recounts the experience and how it influenced his life.
“I had a spiritual, inner assurance that Heavenly Father was aware of me, and the Lord was aware of me, and that I was on Their errand and that what I was doing was important,” he said.
