Dawsonville-Week 7

Here is the latest update from Elder Phillips in Georgia.....So I have been in Dawsonville for a month and a half now serving with Elder Childs.  He is a good guy, he has been out now for 8 months.  But great news Elder Chambers, he is one of the elders serving in Dahlonega is training a new missionary from Texas.  So I am serving with Elder Childs and Elder Chambers and Elder Moore are in my district.  He is missing his dad's burgers and can't wait to have them again.  So the week has been alright, kind of a slow one but it was good.  The weather is still pretty darn hot, I think it is goin to keep this up for a couple of more weeks.  The leaves are slowly changin here and I am excited for that.  I want it to cool down.  I shared a story with about his nephew, that he hasn't met yet, he was sitting with me in church and I gave him my cell phone to play with.  I always put it on vibrate but didn't realize that if he hit the music button it would still play so Sawyer Brown is blaring in the chapel.  He said that is why you don't let Oliver use the phone, he is smart for just over a year.  Only my parents...I love y'all.  So I have some good news, Brother Dunn is taking us to Amicalola Falls today so I'll try to get some pics of it.  So my miracle for this week, well, I have
a lot that happen everyday but one of them that really stuck out.  So we had an appointment fall through this week, and we decided to walk around, then Elder Childs said should we knock on a couple of doors?  I wasn't sure if I wanted to knock on some of these doors but we did it anyway.  So I was walking up to this door and I got hit by a spider web, because here the spiders build webs from tree to tree and I was covered in it.  We still knocked on the door, no one answered, so I was like great....no one answered and now I am covered in a web.  Good news, the spider didn't get on me.  But I wouldn't care anyway.  So then we start walking up the street and I am feelin a little like Nephi, we felt inspired to knock on that door but nothin happened...so we see this guy walking outside so we started to talk to him and he has actually been to the church before just in a different part of the state, he was super open to coming to visit the church.  That was kind of a long odd story but I know that because we acted on that prompting from the Lord he blessed us with that man to talk to.  Everything happens for a reason, the Lord is aware of us.  He wants to bless us, we just need to listen to him when he prompts us.  Well that is all for this week.  I love Y'ALL!!
