The vision of Sols Guardisto while attending the Cardston, AB temple has driven quite a bit of traffic to this site. Here is a copy of a letter that Edward Wood (Cardston Temple President) wrote about her:
Edward Wood, who was president of the Cardston Temple for many years, was a witness to the
manifestations of a woman who saw much of the future and mission of the Latter-day Saints.
Although she was not a member of the Church, it has been rumored that she did join the Church
sometime later. This manifestation occurred in March 1922. President Wood answered many
responses to questions about this manifestation, two of which follow:

Dear Brother:
Cardston, Alberta
July 29, 1924
I am pleased to hear from you in your letter of July 21st, and note the contents and also
the enclosure, and in reply, can easily tell you about the letter.
The lady who wrote the letter came twice, as she states, to the Temple, and certainly
seemed quite sincere in all questions she asked, and gave very marked respect and attention to the
explanations of the objects for which the Temple was built, and went from room to room-of
course, the interior was then unfinished-and she was evidently deeply interested in what she heard
and saw, and asked many questions both about the Temple proper and also about the principles
leading up to our views on Temple building, and she asked a great many questions about our
views of the life after death, and was much taken up with our belief on divine authority, and Our
missionary activities throughout the world; and before she got through her second visit, she had a
very fair understanding of the “vitality of Mormonism" from many angles.
She had some friends or a relative of some members of the church in Lethbridge by the
name of Brown, and she lived somewhere east of here. After she had been away for some time,
she wrote this article as you have it to Mr. Brown, one of these friends or relatives in Lethbridge,
and he sent a copy to me, and of course we were surprised and pleased with her "impressions"
and her apparent understanding of many of our views.
That is about the history of this article.
Sincerely your brother,
Edw. J. Wood
P.S. As I remember, her second visit was in March, 1922; the article was sent to me sometime
after that month.
