The Tide Begins to Turn

Beginning with July 10, the entries in Ellen White's diary began to take a new turn. On that day she could write the words “I praise the Lord with heart and soul and voice that I am growing stronger.”—Manuscript 34, 1892. Restoration was slow, so slow, but from time to time the entries were brighter. On September 5 she wrote Elder Haskell:4BIO 46.2

I am very happy to report that I am much improved in health.... In this country we see much to be done. I am anxious to think that it is safe for me to enter upon active labor. Elder Daniells is now in Adelaide. He is much worn, and it is a question whether he should undertake to labor for the church there alone. As the Lord seems to be greatly favoring me with blessings both physical and spiritual, W. C. White and I have decided to go to Adelaide. Emily Campbell and May Walling will accompany us. We are to break up housekeeping, thus saving the rent.—Letter 30, 1892.4BIO 46.3
