Unfortunately, no specific results were rendered but at the same moment a man who's a Prophet of God showed up in her midst. They sat together in a cafeteria as the man unveiled what Ellen needed to know, especially concerning her mother's death. She began to believe that God wanted her to be converted to Christianity and live a life of truth. Her sisters Grace, Eva, and Elizaberth hindered her to convert to a new life as they were afraid to lose her. The majority prevailed against her, and she finally joined them and ignored the invitation of God.
