Jonesboro-Week 9

We had the opportunity to talk with Elder Phillips on Mother's Day.  We were able to Skype with him and he looks great and sounds awesome!!  He is getting along with his new companion and they seem to work well together.  He said that there is lots of good things happening in the South right now and he is excited to be part of it.  He has had a number of baptisms and they are working with a number of families.  He was able to see Oliver and we teased him by giving Oliver his "crookies" (the frosted pink and white animal cookies).  Oliver loves them too.  He is busy being the district leader and he says it is a lot of hard work but it is very rewarding.  His brothers teased him about his lost back pack and they all compared waist lines.  LOL!!  We did get a short email this week but since we had just talked with him it didn't have much news.  Michael says he sounds funny now.  From his email....Sorry this is short, but I have like no time to write this email but I just wanted to say that it was awesome to talk to y'all, you look great and happy.  I enjoy seeing family and interacting with y'all.  Love and miss y'all!!
