Marielle Houwaart, Den Haag, August 20, 2011
Marielle was quite the miracle! Marielle first came in contact with the missionaries after following an impression after seeing two missionaries in Den Haag ride by on their bikes. That same day after she had seen two missionaries riding their bikes she went onto the internet to look for some kind of support and source of hope. She stumbled upon the church website and found the address of the church in Den Haag. She went that next Sunday to the church in Den Haag, however, the church building there was currently being remodeled so there was no one at the church. They were all gathered at a temporary meeting place at a school. Marielle sent an email to the office of the church here in the Netherlands after discovering that no one was at the church building. We received a referral, via the office a few days later, and immediately called Marielle and set up an appointment. We started teaching her two days later. It was a rather fast 5 week process of teaching and wonderful to see Marielle overcome opposition through her diligent praying and reading in the Book of Mormon. She was baptized 6 weeks after we had first called her. What a miracle! Thank goodness those two Elders were biking by that day when Marielle so desperately needed answers in her life.
