While Nephi was growing up in Jerusalem, he did not know where the Lord would lead him. He grew and learned; he watched and listened.

When Missionaries Followed a Prompting to Return to the Home of a Man Who Had Threatened Them

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.

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

Not every member missionary will be able to baptize all his co-workers – and that’s okay. For those who don’t, have faith and trust in the Lord that your efforts will be accepted by Him and turned into something more marvelous than you can imagine.
