From the life of Marion George Romney: In 1912, during
the Mexican Revolution led by Pancho Villa, the Mormon settlers in northern
Mexico were forced to flee to the United States for safety. George S. Romney
found it necessary to remain in Colonia Juarez, but he entrusted his
fourteen-year-old son, Marion, with the responsibility of getting the family
safely to El Paso two hundred miles north and caring for them until he could
leave Mexico.
Barely out of town, the Romney wagon was stopped by members of the
rebel army, who robbed them of their last twenty pesos. Elder Romney recalled
that when the bandits had taken the money, they drew their guns from their
holsters and pointed them toward the wagon. “As I looked up the barrels of the
rifles they seemed very large to me. . . . I expected they would shoot. They
did not shoot, however, and I lived to tell the story.” This and many other
experiences verify that truth of this statement in Elder Romney’s patriarchal
blessing: “The angels of your choice have been over you and watched over you
for your good.”
