Apostle's wife felt comfort during attack
The wife of Elder Russell M. Nelson said she felt a comforting peace that helped her remain calm during an attack by armed robbers last spring.
Sister Wendy Watson Nelson described the experience Friday during a speech to 3,300 women at the Time Out for Women event in Salt Lake City. The robbery occurred in May at an LDS mission home in Mozambique.
"The four armed robbers had one intention," Sister Nelson said, "to (harm) my husband and to take me hostage."
