Jonesboro-Week 3

Elder Phillips is doing great in Georgia but he says that the pollen is killing him.  He missed spring in Georgia last year.  He was able to listen to General Conference and he said it was awesome.  He said that he learned a lot and was very uplifted.  He shared an experience with me that really touched my heart......so here is a neat thing for you to think about Mom, so in the morning session on Sunday morning during President Monson's remarks he talked about our loved ones on the other side of the veil, then right after the choir who just happened to be dressed in Purple dresses (my mom's favorite color) stood and sang "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing (my mom's favorite song) when they sang I teared up a little.  It was a very powerful experience.  We had two of our investigators come to conference which is all good.  My district is doing really well, I think.  Being a district leader is a lot of work, not going to lie but I am managing it and I am having a lot of success.  I have learned that my patience level is not very high.  Here is my little miracle for the week.....Elder Neri and I were on exchanges for the day, it was P-day and we were "thriftin'.....thrift store shopping for ties and we used a lot of miles to go to one of them and weren't sure if we could find it so as we are sitting at a light we hear this guy yelling at us asking directions, we tried to help the best we could be the light changed then we see him at the next light, which is red.  So we see this as a finding activity, so Elder Neri hands me a Mormon.org card  and I get out of the car at this light and tap on the dudes window, he rolls it down and I give him the card, he said he would check it out.  I believe that it was inspired for us to be at that light to talk with that guy.  Missionary work is dangerous and exciting.  I love being a missionary.  I am grateful for this chance I have to serve him for two years.  I miss ya'll and pray for you everyday.
