Monroe-Week 18

Well, Elder Phillips spent his last week in Monroe, Georgia.  He was transferred last Wednesday (March 14th) to Jonesboro, Georgia which is southwest of where he has been serving.  I think it is south of Atlanta.  He has also been called to serve as the district leader in the area.  He was sad to leave Monroe and the wonderful people he has come to love but he is excited about his new area. He shared a funny story....On Thursday last week (so I guess this would be the Thursday before he was transferred) Justin and his companion, Elder McGary biked to Social Circle which is about 11 miles from Monroe and we worked down there all day and we have been asked to be more bold with people and you know me I am not very bold so we are down there working and we are just inviting people to be baptized and we have found people that have listened to our message because of baptism and because of the priesthood authority our church has to baptize.  It was off the wall insane.  I couldn't believe my eyes.  Side note....we covered about 30 miles that day.  I am excited for my new adventure in Jonesboro.
