Mrs. Arnold and her daughter Aina Arnold, after hearing the message of the gospel from two Elders, prayed to the Lord in humility for a testimony to know if the men were sent of Him. In time, the testimony was given and they were convinced of the truth of the gospel.
In Their Own Words
“During this time Aina had been an interested listener. She, like her mother, felt the force of what these strange gentlemen had been saying. They could not find it in their hearts to reject what they had heard, neither did they feel to receive it without further light upon the subject. Accordingly the Elders were asked to call again. In the meantime Aina and her mother resolved to make it a subject of prayer and ask the Lord in humility to give them a testimony that they might know if these men were sent of Him. In time the testimony was given, they became convinced of the truth of the gospel and were no longer in darkness. — The Young Woman's Journal 2:8”
