Hindenburg: a man of faith page 4 by ric gustafson.
Rolf sat by one of the big observation windows and looked over the coast of the United States. It was 4:30 am and he could not sleep. He got up to get a cup of coffee and a roll. He noticed that the Captain of the airship was sitting at a nearby table. He walked up to him.
" Captain Pruss, I'm Rolf Muller" he quietly said as he shook the Captain's hand.
" Nice to meet you" was the Captain's reply as he stood up and clicked his heels. " I knew your father when he worked for Zeppelin".
" This is a beautiful airship Captain".
" Thank you" the Captain replied as he clicked his heels again. " Barring a bad rain storm, we should be landing at Lakehurst around 4:00 this afternoon".
Rolf sat back down near the observation window when he felt a tear on his shoulder. He turned to see Willy standing next to him with tears flowing down his face.
" Rolf, thank you for the bible" the young steward said loudly as he hugged him. " After reading it all night, I gave my life to Christ". After another hug, he walked away.
Rolf thanked the Lord for what had just happened in Willy's life.
