PROVO, Utah—After the microphone went out during a devotional at the Provo Missionary Training Center on Tuesday, Aug. 19, many missionaries said they received a special witness from the Holy Ghost and a strengthening of their testimonies.
The devotional with Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was interrupted by technical difficulties when the microphone and sound system unexpectedly shut off.
This came as Elder Andersen was speaking on increasing faith, and just after he said that faith will be tested. Just moments before, he had said: “When you are doing important things, things get in your way.”
With the sound system down, Elder Andersen invited the MTC choir to sing its opening song again, “We’ll Bring the World His Truth.” After the first verse from the choir, he stood and directed everyone to stand and join in the singing.
Said Sister Rebekah Bennett, preparing to serve in the Japan Nagoya Mission: “After we sang again as the choir, it became clear to me why it happened. In my opinion, it was because God needed us to listen.”
Despite 2,000 missionaries filling the gym, every single missionary was focused on Elder Andersen’s words as the Apostle continued without the help of technology.
And their hearts were opened to accept his message.
