Last Tuesday we visited the Titanic Exhibit. Most of the
stories there we’d heard before, but not this one: Alma Sonne and his
companion, Fred Dahle, were heading home along with four other elders—George B.
Chambers, Willard Richards, John R. Sayer, and L. J. Shurtliff—after completing
their English missions. But when the time came to meet in Southampton, Elder
Dahle was delayed. Elder Sonne, who’d convinced Elder Dahle to serve a mission
in the first place and had booked their passage on the Titanic, decided they
shouldn’t leave without him. Instead, he canceled the reservations so they
could depart the next day. Some of the elders were disappointed they wouldn’t
be traveling on the Titanic, but they thanked God after they discovered what
their outcome might have been. “You saved my life,” Elder Sonne told Elder
Dahle. “No,” he replied. “By getting me on this mission, you saved my life.”
