| Notes |
- Waldemar Wilford Nielson was imprisoned on his mission for one night wi t h three other missionaries. They were all released from the prison an d we re instructed to leave the town. Waldemar went to the train statio n wit h just a few German frans that he and the other missionaries had po oled t ogether and divided equally among them. He bought his train ticke t to th e area that his leaders had assigned him to. When he arrived at h is new a re, he tried to reach the mission office to find out the addres s where h e should go. He was given a bogus address and only had a few ph ennings i n his pocket with hardly anything to eat .
He felt so discouraged, tired and felt lost with no place to go and no m o ney in his pocket. He took a rest in the train station and when he wok e u p he started walking the streets of his new area, not knowing where t o go . As he walked, he had an experience in which he had a major pain i n hi s side that made him fall to his knees. As he got up, he noticed th e nam e of the church on a discreet building he was now facing. The build ing ha d a sign showing the times of church and the week’s activities. A s Waldem ar tried to figure out the day of the week, he realized that the re wa s a ward activity at the building that very night. He waited ther e at th e building until that evening and the members came. He felt as i f he ha d been led by the Lord to help him find the church that day whe n he was s o lost and all alone.
From then on, his favorite scripture was D&C 112:10, “Be thou humble a n d the Lord thy God will lead they by the hand and give thee answer to t h y prayers.” He lived this scripture and felt the hand of the Lord lea d hi m to the answer to his prayer.
