While in Far West, Missouri, Wilford Woodruff participated in a remarkable day of divine healings with Prophet Joseph Smith. As Wilford recorded: 'A Day of with the Prophet Joseph Smith—A Great Number of Sick Persons Healed—The Mob becomes Alarmed—They try to Interfere with the Healing of the Sick.' During this extraordinary gathering, Joseph Smith exercised the power of the priesthood to heal many afflicted Saints. Wilford noted that the manifestations of healing power became so numerous and undeniable that 'The Mob becomes Alarmed' and attempted to interfere with the work of God by trying to prevent the healings from occurring. The Saints had to 'The Mob Sent Out of the House' in order to continue the healing work. Additionally, 'Twin Children Healed' during this remarkable day, demonstrating that God's power extended to the most vulnerable among them. This event served as a powerful testimony to the validity of the priesthood and Joseph Smith's prophetic calling.
