A Glimpse of the Resurrection | Zeke Johnson's Vision of a Little Girl (LDS)

Send us Fan MailIs there real hope beyond the grave for those who have lost a child? In this tender "story day" episode, host Tia Smith shares one of the most remarkable and well-documented thinning-of-the-veil experiences in Latter-day Saint (LDS) history: Zeke Johnson's vision of a little girl's resurrection.While clearing and plowing ground in San Juan County around 1908–09, Zeke Johnson uncovered the small skeleton of an ancient child. As he stood watching, the bones began to move, take on color, and be clothed with flesh — until a beautiful little girl rose to her feet, looked at him, and smiled, before disappearing. Years later, after praying to understand why he had been allowed to witness such a thing, the answer came: the child had been buried long ago in a shallow grave during a time of war or frozen winter, and a man holding the priesthood had promised her grieving mother that whenever that little body was uncovered, the Lord would call her up and she would live.Tia offers this as a message of hope to every parent who has had to bury a child — that because of the Savior's atoning sacrifice and resurrection, and the power of the priesthood and covenants, there will come a day of glorious reunion. As we gather these little ones back to their families through temple work, a healing begins now — and the physical reunion is surely coming.💛 This episode discusses the death of children, shared in a spirit of hope, comfort, and the promise of the resurrection.Q: What was Zeke Johnson's vision?A: While plowing ground in San Juan County around 1908–09, Zeke Johnson uncovered the skeleton of an ancient child and watched as it was restored — bones, flesh, and hair — until a little girl rose, smiled at him, and vanished.
