Dawsonville-Week 2

Here is the latest from Elder Phillips.....my week has been good.  My companion is pretty cool, quiet but cool.  We picked up a couple of new investigators this week but it is hard to find new people sometimes.  The area that I am serving in is very spread out and very country.  You know where we go camping at Wastch State Park, it is a lot like that area, that little town that is sort of in the mountains.  There is a mountain range at like the top of our area close to the border of the state.  There are a ton of hills here.  I am settling in pretty well, the four of us gave talks last Sunday, it was my first talk in 13 months.  Plus I taught the gospel principles class at the last minute.  I get along with the other missionaries, sometimes we don't always see eye to eye but that is one of the challenges of missionary work.  I have to learned to be patient and to be humble.  Still working on it though.  Oh so a funny story to share...our new investigator we have been trying to get a hold of her and visit her and everytime we go to see her, her rooster greets us...he always just comes out of no where and just walks around with us, like a dog.  We were at her door one day and she has this table right next to the door and he will just jump up there and look at us as we were knocking on the door.  So tiny miracle, we have been doing a lot of tracting lately, one lady we taught the whole first lesson on her door step and committed her to read the Book of Mormon.  It was pretty awesome, the Lord knows where we are going to be and who he needs to place in our path.  I love this work so much and I enjoy helping others come closer to Christ, I know that his Atonement is real and that it covers every mistake I or anyone on this earth has made and I know that if we accept him and accept his Atonement, we can make it back to live with our Heavenly Father.  His Atonement is infinite and Eternal, he is the way and the light.  I love y'all and miss ya a bunch.
