Jonesboro-Week 7

Here is the latest update for Elder Phillips.....Well, shoot this has been a pretty good week.  I have a new companion, Elder Astle from Yuba City, California.  He is the bomb at missionary work but it feels weird training him because he is 22 years old and I'm only 19 but only for a few more weeks.  He is a hard working missionary and I feel really good about this companionship.  I am very excited about staying in Jonesboro, it is a great area to be in.  My week has been great!!  We have contacted a lot of people this week and we are having tons of success already.  The weather is crazy here.....it is heating up though.  I pray for everyone back home every night.  I know that there are lots of struggles right now but the atonement is infinite and eternal, it can fix anything.  I'm happy to hear that you are making the best of your callings.  I am being tested with accepting callings out here.  The Lord has called me as District leader/Trainer...a lot of responsibility.  But prayer makes it so much easier to deal with.  Our little miracle is on Wednesday we were visiting a former investigator at like 8:30 but he was busy so we talked to the first person we saw.  We talked to her for like 20 minutes, she accepts our message and commits to read and pray about the Book of Mormon.  It gets better though, two other people came out of no where and wanted a copy of it too...so we talked to them and got their information, then a 4th guy shows up and we talk to him about it, it was amazing y'all.  The Lord is in this work, I know it.  I love serving the Lord...and I look forward to talkin' to y'all in a couple of weeks.  I love y'all.
