Mongolian stake president, wife fulfill Pres. McKay prophecy

What is a prophecy in the mormon church. It seems that a good wish or a hope becomes a prophecy if things go well; and if not then if was just conversation. It seems it would be embarrassing to flaunt such swallow and juevenal claims of god given powers.

Prophesy in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is prophesy based on the righteousness or unrighteousness of the people involved and much more. The Saints there were faithful in trying times when BYUH and the Cultural center was not doing well. A young man by the name of Elvis Presley was enlisted. I wonder who gave him his talent? He received a Book of Mormon.
With a young man's first vision and beginning 6 members to now over 13 million, a lot of prophesy fulfilled and to be fulfilled.

Prohesy is listening to the Lord direct you in what may happen,what will happen and what could happen in your life as well as the lives of all man kind.There are prophets called to direct the affairs of the Lords kingdom on earth but we as individuals can become prophets unto ourselves to know and understand what WE need to do.Everyone can become a prophet unto themselves if we listen to that still small voice.

Did I somehow miss how this was a fulfillment of a prophecy? I didn't see that in this article. Is there going to be another article about what prophecy this fulfilled?

Sounds good, I think I will have a beer and think about it. Everyone should believe in something, I believe I will have several more beers and see if I don't get some answers. Thanks for the tip.

Selling the American dream no more or no less. Nor prophecy here just selling the American dream and American religion!

Congratulations to all those who worked so hard to bring to pass religious freedom which was promised to the Mongolian people by a living prophet if they would follow the plan of happiness and be obedient to the commandments that the Lord has given to all of us to ensure our success in this life and the life to come.
