'Abdu'l-Bahá's ministry (1892–1921) · 1 min

Mother met ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in 1912, when she was 15 years old. He told her that she would grow like a tree and have many branches. Years later she realized, as so often happens, the meaning of this prediction. It was twenty years before she declared her belief in Bahá’u’lláh, and she has observed many times 'it takes a tree 20 years to mature'. She had four children, fifteen grandchildren, and a couple of dozen great grandchildren.
