President David O. Mckay and the Miracle of the rain

Yesterday I was watching aa DVD that they gave me from the P.C.C. that I have to memorize so I can tell the stories from memory to the people who come into the center. One of the many stories that "Auntie Gladys" told, was about the Prophet David O. McKay who was the Prophet at the time that the PCC was built. the day that the Center was supposed to be dedicated, they had a really bad thunderstorm/ rainstorm. The Islanders were wondering if the Center would dedicated that day or not All of the sudden, President Mckay came up in a Limo and someone came to hold up an umbrella for him when he got out of the limo. He smiled, handed the umbrella back, and the rain stopped. Then, suddenly a pillar of light came out of Heaven and surrounded President McKay while he dedicated the Center. When the dedication was over, the pillar of light went back into heaven, the Prophet got in the limo, drove away, and the rain continued.

I know that Heavenly Father watches over us and that He knows when we are doing special things like  dedicating temples and that if we look for it we can see miracles happen during those special times and other times. I kow that He watches over the prophet and listens to his prayers for us just as He does with us.
I know that Thomas S. Monson is His prophet today and that he leads and guides His Church.
