Jonesboro-Week 6

So I guess the best news of this week's email, at least for me, was Elder Phillips found his backpack!! and everything was still in it.  I don't think he would have liked to finish my mission with a "My Little Pony" backpack.  Elder Phillips received the news that his companion Elder Keliikoa was going to be transferred so that means Elder Phillips will be training a new missionary next week. From  his email this week....It is crazy to think that I am going to be 20 years old next month.  I am so excited to talk to y'all.  I have been almost gone a year...crazy huh? Here is my bad news, our baptism was changed to a later date but that is okay I am not discouraged.  I have had a lot of great experiences on my mission so far, some you have heard of and some you haven't.  I know that I am here for a reason, that this is where I am supposed to be and that it is shaping my life.  We had an experience this week where we had a lady that we met on the street and she invited to meet with her at her home so we went over there and she wasn't there...wrong home. So we talked to some lady that lived there and we talked to her for a good hour and she was a honest seeker of truth.  It was so cool and now we are going to start teaching her.  We also talked to a lady from Jerusalem on that street, that was pretty sweet.  Oh, man it is crazy that I am training again.  I am really excited to be doing this again.  I saw Elder McGary recently and he seems to be doing really well in Monroe.  I gonna miss camping this year but it is okay, the work that I'm doing right now is more important.  I am away from my family for a little while so others can be with theirs for eternity.  Thank you for the support, guys...it really means a lot to me..this work is a great work for me to be doing and I am grateful for the love and support that you guys give me.  Well, I know it is not alot this week but this is all I have for this email.  I miss y'all and love ya.
