The Lord gave me freedom in speaking to the people; in every effort made I realized His sustaining power. And as I became fully convinced that I had a testimony for the people, which I could bear to them in connection with the labors of my husband, my faith was strengthened that he would yet be raised to health to labor with acceptance in the cause and work of God. His labors were received by the people, and he was a great help to me in the work. Without him I could accomplish but little, but with his help, in the strength of God, I could do the work assigned me. The Lord sustained him in every effort which he put forth. As he ventured, trusting in God, regardless of his feebleness, he gained in strength and improved with every effort. As I realized that my husband was regaining physical and mental vigor, my gratitude was unbounded in view of the prospect that I should again be unfettered to engage anew and more earnestly in the work of God, standing by the side of my husband, we laboring unitedly in the closing work for God’s people. Previous to his being stricken down, the position he occupied in the office confined him there the greater part of the time. And as I could not travel without him I was necessarily kept at home much of the time. I felt that God would now prosper him while he labored in word and doctrine, and devoted himself more especially to the work of preaching. Others could do the labor in the office, and we were settled in our convictions that he would never again be confined, but be free to travel with me that we both might bear the solemn testimony which God had given us for His remnant people. {1T 575.2}

Herren gav mig frihed til at tale til folk og i enhver bestræbelse så jeg hans understøttende kraft. Og idet jeg blev fuldt forvisset om at jeg havde et vidnesbyrd til folk, som jeg kunne fremføre i forbindelse med min mands arbejde, styrkedes min tro i at han alligevel ville blive rask til at kunne arbejde med tro på sagen og Guds værk. Uden ham kunne jeg kun udrette en smugle, men med hans hjælp, i Guds kraft, kunne jeg udføre det arbejde som jeg var udpeget til. Herren støttede ham i enhver anstrengelse som han lagde for dagen. Da han dristede sig og stolede på Gud, uden hensyn til hans svaghed, vandt han styrke og blev bedre for hver anstrengelse. Da jeg så at min mand genvandt fysisk og mental sundhed, var min taknemmelighed ganske uhæmmet, med det sigte at jeg igen var (576) fri til at gå ind i Guds arbejde og med min mand ved min side kunne vi sammen udføre det afsluttende arbejde for Guds folk. Før han blev lammet, tog hans embede på kontoret en større del af hans tid. Og idet jeg ikke kunne rejse uden ham, var jeg nød til at blive hjemme meget af tiden. Jeg mærkede at Gud nu ville bringe ham fremgang så længe han arbejdede i ord og lære og han helligede sig selv på en særlig måde til forkynderarbejdet. Andre kunne udføre arbejdet på kontoret og vi var helt overbevist om at han aldrig igen ville blive begrænset, men fri til at rejse med mig, så vi begge kunne fremføre det højtidelige vidnesbyrd, som Gud havde givet os til sit restfolk.
