The Miracle of Prayer

Rose Seahe was baptized in July 2010 in Abidjan before the crisis in Ivory Coast. Because of the situation at the time, she moved to Tabou. She moved to Bouafle in 2014 with her husband. She lost contact with the Church and for a while she attended other Christian religious communities. Towards the end of 2023, she decided to stop completely. She knew that there was something missing. She prayed that if the Lord wanted her to end up in the right place, He must show her the way. This prayer was sincere.

On June 14, 2024, the missionaries were planning their day. They were calling friends and members. They wanted to go visit one Sister Rose. They thought they had her number on their phone. After 30 seconds it was obvious that this was not the Sister Rose they were looking for, but this was the Sister Rose the Lord had prepared for the day. They also learned that she worked not far from their home. After 5 minutes and a very short call they were sitting next to her sharing a scripture from the Book of Mormon. They were all happy. Sister Rose knew this was the answer to her prayer. After all these years The Lord had never forgotten her. Sister Rose lost her husband last year. She has returned fully to Church and is preparing to go to the temple to perform ordinances for her husband.

Sister Rose: I don’t even know when I gave missionaries my number, but as soon as they called me and said they were the missionaries I knew it was an answer to my prayer.

Elder Asuma-Perprem: It came at a time when I was feeling very discouraged. But that day I knew that the Lord was in the details. He had answered Sister Rose’s prayer and my prayer too. There is nothing random.

Elder Arbon: This experience testified to me that the Lord really does lead his work. He stands at the head of this work, and we are only instruments in His hands. It was nothing short of a miracle.
