July 11, 1994

7/11 - Elder Powell turned 20 today. We visited Denise at the Wildwood Boardwalk this afternoon and tracted the Villas after that.

We ate at the Kessler's. Afterwards I said, "Let's go to the Hinsdales." So we did and coincidentally they had prepared a cake, etc. for Powell. I was surprised.

He wanted to visit a less-active lady tonight, Christine Eiseley. We went to her house and nobody was there. A car pulled up, and she just got home.

We began to talk about a lot of different things. Elder Powell interrupted me and he began to share his true testimony of preparing for the temple. He cried as he reflected on those experiences. The lady wouldn't give in. He knelt in prayer. I gave her a blessing. Afterwards, we rededicated ourselves to this work and area through prayer. We will conquer!
