Arthur Gook, missionary to Iceland, tells this story in Can a Young Man Trust His God? “A man attending gospel meetings at Akureyri became anxious about his spiritual state and felt the need of help, but couldn’t pluck up the courage to ask. He was leaving for a prolonged stint some distance away and the morning he was to leave decided to visit me. I knew nothing of his concern and had decided that day to cross the ice on the fjord to arrange for meetings there. I was nearly across when the ice gave way and I plunged into the water. Happily, it was at a place where the fjord wasn’t too deep and I managed to scramble out. To avoid catching cold, I ran most of the way home. As I reached the house in one direction, he reached it from the other. His difficulties were cleared up by the Word and he went away rejoicing in the Savior. God turned me back at the right moment because He ‘will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth’ (1 Tim 2:4).”
