This is told first-hand [about someone else :) ] So my roommate companion in the mission field in Cabo Verde one morning said "I feel awful today--I feel terrible and that usually means that someone close to me has died" 3 days later, we get the news. His grandfather had passed away unexpectedly. He has never said anything like that before or after. Sad for him. True story.

This from a reliable source. A man has nothing to do at night, so he turns on this old radio in their home. The first thing on happens to be general conference. He listens to it, is converted and joins the church. They go back and see which radio it was? It was the old one that had been broken for years. They try to turn it on and it doesn't work. Why it worked that once is up to speculation :)
Somebody told this story once--very reliable source--there was this group of BYU students who were traveling home from something via plane. And their second to last transfer flight their leader got this impression that that they shouldn't go on that last one. So they didn't. Woke up the next morning and the news? The plane had blown up. Some people in the media picked up on this story.

A story is a marvelous thing! Very marvelous! yes!
