YOUR PROGENITORS WILL BE PLEASED

Peter B. Johnson

      I was called on a mission to the Southern States in the spring of 1898. I reached Mississippi the twenty-second of June, 1898. On the eighth of August I was taken down with the chills and fever, which turned to malaria. I became so low that the president sent his counselor and two elders to see me in relation to being released and sent home. The yellow fever quarantine came on; I was not able to leave; and then I had the following experience:

Near Death Experience of Lorenzo Dow Young (1828) brother of Brigham Young

     While at Watertown, I married, and afterwards removed to Mendon, Monroe County. At this place I had a remarkable dream or vision. I fancied that I died. In a moment I was out of the body, and fully conscious that I had made the change. At once, a heavenly messenger, or guide, was by me. I thought and acted as naturally as I had done in the body, and all my sensations seemed as complete without as with it. The personage with me was dressed in the purest white. For a short time I remained in the room where my body lay. My sister Fanny (who was living with me when I had this dream and my wife were weeping bitterly over my death. I sympathized with them deeply in their sorrow, and desired to comfort them. I realized that I was under the control of the man who was by me. I begged of him the privilege of speaking to them, but he said he could not grant it. My guide, for so I will call him, said "Now let us go."

The account is taken from the book In Search of Angels which provides a more complete description of the incident.
….. .I found myself ....... in a completely different sphere. It was beautiful beyond description and we were walking on a path.... It was a different world than this one.... As we walked along the path I noticed a profusion of flowers and trees. They were of a wider variety, and they had many more  colors than on earth or maybe it was that I could see more colors than on earth, I'm not sure.
