June 23, 1994

6/23 - Got 61 phone contacts this morning before we got on our bikes and drove clear out to CaMayCH. We talked with a black lady, Lori. She is interested in lots of churches and was previously FBS'd.

A long drive home. We tracted out a fella whose dog tried to bite Powell's hand. Naturally, he yanked his hand away. The guy thought he was trying to hit the dog and cursed us away from his home. Aagh!

Didn't do too much until splits. We did a lot of less-active and home teaching with the Jetts. We have some potential investigators now, but they are plagued with problems.

Once Powell and I begin to live exact obedience, only then will the Lord bless us. We are not 100% now. Too many distractions. We have the potential to be successful and I know we will find it soon. We do need our car and to pray more ernestly. Also to plan. These are things we are doing, just not thoroughly enough. Plus, I need to have charity. I love the Lord and have seen my testimony grow. I have overcome many obstacles and have higher ones yet to climb, and through all of this, my testimony remains unshaken:

Joseph Smith is a prophet. Jesus is Christ. God lives and loves me. The Book of Mormon is correct. I am a child of God. I will soon be able to be a worthy 100% sin-free person as I continue to repent and will work my whole life through so that I can marry in the temple and raise a family, get an education and job, and eventually return to the Bar of God where we will embrace. I know this is true and wish for my family to know I love them and I am doing my best.
