"And now, it came to pass that there were many who heard the words of Samuel, the Lamanite, which he spake upon the walls of the city. And as many as believed on his word went forth and sought for Nephi; and when they had come forth and found him they confessed unto him their sins and denied not, desiring that they might be baptized unto the Lord."
Helaman 16:1
I love this tag-team conversion, where Samuel preached, and Nephi baptized. The thing about this team is that there is no indication that they knew each other, so it was God actually directing it all, both prophets coordinating through God.
I think that this is directly applicable to our lives, because even though we can't always see it, all of us are tag-teaming with other people, directed by the Lord. We can't see the person whose life was blessed when we miss our flight, but that person is there, and God knows and uses that opportunity to bless someone. We can't see what happens and who is touched because of a single gospel conversation, but God knows all of those people, and that conversation allows him to touch hearts.
Today, let's remember that our good works never go to waste. They are never pointless or useless just because we can't see any positive effect in the world. God is working hard to multiply our efforts and bless the lives of others. Let's do good, no matter whether we can see the benefit or not. :)
