Roswell-Week 15

Elder Phillips is still serving in the Roswell area and loving it.  He says he is starting to get the hang of being a missionary, it is hard work but the ward supports them alot.  The little kids look up to them and he says it is an amazing feeling.  Justin also had his first baptism last Saturday (October 23) and this is what he had to say about that.....my week has been great, the work is going great.  Our baptism happened on Saturday, it was an amazing service, I have never felt the spirit on my mission as strong as I did when I put her in the water and brought her back out of the water.  She was truly ready to be baptized, she didn't have a single doubt in her mind.  I love serving the Lord and I know that he performs miracles everyday.  Last Saturday as I was getting dressed for the baptism I was praying to my Heavenly Father to help me do the ordinance right so that she could have the best possible experience.  After my prayer, I felt the same...nothing...changed so I took a leap of faith and just went and did it...hoping that God would help me and he did of course and the spirit was so strong.  That is my big miracle for this week.

He included a picture this week of his baptism and we were noticing that his companion is taller than Justin and we thought Justin was tall.
