THE STANDARD OF TRUTH

"Our missionaries are going forth to different nations... The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.
                        -Joseph Smith in the "Wentworth Letter"

A MISSION MIRACLE

I will post some mission miracles often so as to share them and also to remember them.

This one took place up in Lincoln with Elders Powell and Clark.  They were out contacting by knocking on doors one afternoon.  They met a lady and taught her the restoration, gave her a Book of Mormon and was able to get a return appointment.  Before they returned to their appointment with her, they prayed about what they should teach her and prayed that they would be prepared.  During this discussion they challenged her to baptism and she accepted.  She then told them that her father had joined the LDS Church about eight months ago (I can't remember where in Nebraska - I will edit this when I remember to ask).  Anyway, as she was telling this story to the elders.  Elder Powell was so very interested because he was serving in that area during that very time frame.  So he asked her what her father's name was..... And guess what?????? Elder Power and his companion taught and baptized her father.  And Elder Powell was now in Lincoln and found this man's daughter and has set a baptism date for her.   THE LORD IS IN CHARGE....HE KNOWS HIS SHEEP, HE KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE AND SENDS HIS SHEPHERDS TO FIND THEM.  Elder Powell was obedient and faithful and in return was blessed with an amazing miracle where he brought a father and his daughter into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  This is a mission miracle.
