In the seminary for new mission presidents Elder Bednar taught that we might not always know we are receiving revelation until later. This past week we felt impressed in the weekly letter to remind the missionaries to speak with everybody.
That week two of our elders were trying very hard to get a birth certificate for a woman who wanted to get married (so she could get baptized.) Her name appeared in three different ways in different government documents and the officials told her it would be practically impossible to get her birth certificate and if they could it would take months.
The elders were discourage but when they entered the elevator to leave the building, they remembered the words from the weekly letter that said to talk to everybody. They started talking to a man in the elevator, who asked why they were there. They told him their dilemma and he said he knew how to fix it. They followed him to his office and right then and there he gave them the documents they needed so this woman could get married and baptized. They knew it was a blessing because they were obedient to the counsel reiterated in Presidents' letter.
