The Moon family's conversion through answered prayer

During their mission to Preston in 1837, Elders Heber C. Kimball and Amos Fielding encountered the Moon family, who were initially deeply prejudiced against the message of the restored gospel. Despite a difficult and unproductive first meeting, Elder Kimball felt a strong spiritual impression to return. Upon arriving a second time, the Elders were received with great joy by the family, who had spent the intervening days in distress over their initial rejection. The family confessed that after the Elders' departure, they had attempted to pray, but described the heavens as 'brass,' feeling no connection or peace. Distressed, they resolved to fast and pray specifically to know if the message delivered by the Elders was true or false. Their sincere inquiry was answered when the Lord manifested the truth to them, leading them to pray fervently for the missionaries' return. This answered prayer fulfilled a prophecy Elder Kimball had previously felt regarding the family's conversion. Following this manifestation, the Moon family embraced the gospel, were baptized, and became faithful members of the Church, with the event serving as a profound witness to the family of the power of prayer.
