Kindness of Brother and Sister Nichols

Brother and Sister Nichols invited Sarah and me to make their house our home. This kindness we gladly accepted. They took us in their carriage from place to place to hold meetings, and were ever ready with words of encouragement and comfort. When in trial, their prayers often ascended to heaven in my behalf, until the clouds dispersed, and the light of heaven again cheered me.LSMS 149.4

They did not grow weary in their kindness. They were attentive to all our wants, and generously supplied us with means to travel.LSMS 150.1

Because Brother and Sister Nichols believed me to be a child of God, chosen to bear a special testimony to His people, they were often reproached and were obliged to be in almost constant conflict. No means were left untried to turn them against me. But a faithful record is kept of their acts of love and benevolence, and He who seeth in secret and is acquainted with every kind and generous act, will reward them openly.LSMS 150.2
