Monroe-Week 17

I think I am a little behind with these posts so I think I am going to try and catch up.  Elder Phillips is still serving in Monroe.  He survived the severe weather that went through that area a couple of weeks ago.  He says that he would rather deal with earthquakes than tornados.  But it is all part of  the adventure.  He says that the area that he is serving in is a faith tester but it is also building his faith.  They have been talking with lots of people lately but he says that is the way it is because nothing happens in missionary work until you find someone to teach.  "We did have a guy stop us who they had given a pass along card to and he let us in and we taught him the Restoration, he accepted a Book of Mormon (Mormon bible) as some people call it , which was amazing because not a lot of people accept free book these days.  Which for me is sad because it contains the fulness of the gospel and outlines the plan of salvation and testify's that Jesus is the Christ.  I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.  I have seen it change lives if they give it a chance and really read and ask God if it is true it will change their lives.  I know this will all my heart.  This isn't my work, it is his work, I am just his servant and I will continue to do my best to serve him.  Not for my gain, but when others see my works it will glorify my Father in Heaven.  I love Georgia and I love missionary work.  Love y'all!!
