Nellie and Nicole Are the Newest Members of Brussels

If you ever wonder if the missionaries are really the Lord's servants, don't! They are just a bunch of 19 year old kids doing miraculcous things, because the Lord is guiding them. Nicole is from Togo, Africa.

She has lived in Belgium for twenty years. A little over two years ago, she went through a difficult divorce. She got very sick, and was recuperating in a hospital, and she prayed that she would be guided to know what she should do with the rest of her life. She noticed a new Bible that hadn’t been opened, and she was attracted to it. She read in Psalms some comforting words, and felt to seek God in her life. She took this to mean that she was to search for the true church. She visited numerous churches and never felt that the spirit was there. She devoted a lot of effort to this search , but after two years she was ready to give up. In a prayer, she told the Lord that she couldn’t continue, and if he wanted to lead her to his church, she would give him one more day. The next morning, she left her apartment and proceeded across a plaza in Brussels. Coming from the opposite direction were Elders Benito and Canonica. Within minutes of starting their conversation, the spirit bore witness that this was what she had been looking for. In Zone Conference President Brubaker mused; what if those elders had been disobedient that day, and stayed in the apartment hanging out a few minutes too long.? To be instruments of the Lord the missionaries know that obedience is the most important factor in success.
