Although I had been raised in a religious atmosphere, I had not found satisfying answers to my questions; I wanted a better understanding of God. So, after I came to America from Europe, I visited many different churches, as my English improved, still hungering and thirsting for truth and looking for answers to my questions.

At that time I met an elderly man who lived in our apartment house, who impressed me very much. He was always cheerful, happy, and I felt exactly the opposite. Both my legs were bandaged, and I had all kinds of aches and pains. One day he said to me, "You don't have to suffer like that," and he handed me a Sentinel. In reading the Sentinel I found peace, joy, and healing and gained strength and assurance. As I continued to read the Sentinel, I was no longer hoping and wishing; I believed and accepted a better understanding of God.

Many blessings and healings followed, including healing of the conditions my neighbor had observed when he said, "You don't have to suffer like that."
