The last day at the Salt Lake City Mission Home on North Temple where all the missionaries would come to begin their missions, we had a huge testimony meeting. There were five of us who were seated toward the back of the room near the door that was back and to our right. While one older, male missionary was bearing his testimony of the Savior, his countenance changed; becoming enlightened and angelic like. Looking to the back of the room toward the door, he exclaimed, "I have just seen a vision." Immediately I felt the touch of an unseen visitor on my shoulder that filled my being from head to toe; causing me to reverberate with warmth, peace, love, and wonder. It lasted for a brief moment and then was gone. Elder Anderson, to my right, spoke, "Did you feel that??!!" It was then that I knew that we had all felt the exact same thing. I have pondered many times upon that experience. I know that a vision was seen by that missionary who bore his testimony. Through intuition, I know of what and by whom. The Presence was Divine and I look forward to the day when I can receive that visual witness that was had by that missionary.
