By John H. Groberg

The following is an excerpt from Elder John H. Groberg’s book Fire of Faith, which details his experiences with his family as he served as a mission president in Tonga.

The number seemed impossible. In 1966 the total number of members baptized into the Church for the entire year was 604.

Below are some of those miracles that helped bring 507 people into the Church in one month in Tonga.
