Ellen G. White in Europe 1885-1887

Conradi's Faith Revived

Six years later in a letter to Ellen G. White written from Fastow, Russia, it is clear that he was still striving nobly to please the Lord. Sister White was then in Australia. In the very first paragraph of his letter to her he writes about how he has found “light” in the Word of God and “the testimonies of His Spirit.” He expresses also his “gratitude to Christ, who has proven a faithful Friend and High Priest to me, when everything looked dark and Satan even urged there was no hope and that I [had] better cast away my only anchor.... My prayer is today, Lord, anoint my eyes, let me see to my own salvation, and guard all my wanderings and strayings from the path of duty and let me know, what Thy will is.... I do not want to mar His work by the past, though He has graciously forgiven. I shall be pleased if you have any light or exhortation or counsel, to receive the same.” He signed his letter, “Your unworthy brother in Christ, L. R. Conradi.”—L. R. Conradi letter to Ellen G. White, October 6, 1897 EGWE 291.3

Here is revealed a faith on Conradi's part in the “testimonies” of Ellen White, also in “any light or exhortation or counsel” that she might have to give to him. EGWE 291.4
