- “One day after paying for my groceries, I was bagging them on the little counter provided for us to bag our own purchases. I did notice another lady next to me, who had a cane. This older lady asked me (in Danish) if I lived on Priovej. I answered in Danish, “no, but I lived on Ane Kristinesvej” (these two streets are very close to each other). She then asked me, if I could help her to her apartment. I, of course, told her yes. It had just started to snow and the sidewalks were getting very slushy. I carried her bag of groceries and she held on to my arm and we walked to her apartment, having a conversation in DANISH!!! After I helped her into her apartment (2 flights of stairs) and started back to our apartment, I thanked Heavenly Father for this opportunity to help and that I was able to understand Danish enough to help someone!!! I came home and told Dad/Ross/Grandpa what I had just accomplished. However, when in the temple later that day, I had the same problems of not being able to understand when someone spoke to me. I realized that Heavenly Father knew this daughter of His (the elderly woman) needed help and through Him, I was able to understand the language. I truly felt that day that I was the “Hands” which were needed for that lady.” From Edith Brown while serving at the Temple in Copenhagen Denmark, 02/17/2014.
- Omni 1: 25… And it came to pass that I began to be old; and, having no seed, and knowing king Benjamin to be a just man before the Lord, wherefore, I shall deliver up these plates unto him, exhorting all men to come unto God, the Holy One of Israel, and believe in prophesying, and in revelations, and in the ministering of angels, and in the gift of speaking with tongues, and in the gift of interpreting languages, and in all things which are good; for there is nothing which is good save it comes from the Lord: and that which is evil cometh from the devil.
