Dawsonville-Week 4

Here is the latest from Elder Phillips.....it has been pretty mild here, weatherwise, but it'll heat up I'm sure.  My week was alright, we worked and preached the gospel.  The work is moving, I am not sure which way it is moving in this area but it is for sure moving.  I am getting along pretty well with my companion, he is a good kid.  No new investigators this week, it was kind of a slow week but we met with a lot of less active members.  We went street contacting the other day and we went to this neighborhood to just knock on doors and talk to people.  Well we ended up talking to a bunch of people and they were all pretty nice about the message we had to share. One even said to come back later.  It was a small miracle but for sure a miracle. We were inspired to go to that neighborhood and work and I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for prompting us to go there.  Mom, I know that you are struggling right now but I know that you have a strong testimony of the gospel.  I followed it for 17 years.  I know that scripture study and prayer are essential in our lives, there is a reason we encourage our investigators to do these things.  I want you to know that I have a testimony of scriptures and prayer.  I know that God reveals things to us through the scriptures.  I know that he hears and answers prayers.  He knows and understands us better than anyone on this earth.  We just need to talk to him, he misses us.  He wants to help us to make it back to him but we gotta ask him for help.  I know that this church is true, I know that Joseph Smith was called of God and that God's church is on the earth today.  The Book of Mormon is true, by reading it we can grow closer to God.  Jesus Christ is our Savior, he loves us and he paid the price for us so that we don't have to.  We just have to do our part and come unto him.  I love y'all and miss ya a ton.  Love Elder Phillips
