Here is the lastest update from Elder Phillips this week. One thing that I am finding with Justin is that he answers all the questions you have for him at the beginning of his email. I just hope that I remember the questions that I have asked him and in what order. LOL! Here is his email.....
Well my week has been pretty good. We had a whole week with many, many miracles and blessings. The work is going forward, slowly but surely. The weather is all kinds of crazy, it changes everyday. We went hiking last week and I have some pictures for proof. We have been seeing a lot of miracles lately because of our obedience it is amazing. If I just give up something I like to do the Lord will bless me so much. I am getting along with my companion pretty well. I need to learn to be more patient, this is for sure a challenge for me. I am doing pretty well. Well my small miracle for this week is..we were walking out of the apartment on Wednesday and this other guy happened to be walking past at the same time, so I said, "Hey, how's it goin?" He said fine. And then I was like wow it is a beautiful day and he turned around and said yes, yes it is. So he started talking to us about what the church believed so we ended up teaching him the first lesson. He was in tears through the whole thing...he felt the spirit and it was what he needed to hear. And when we were talking to him it was like I already knew him...it was kind of a weird, subtle feeling. So no matter what comes out of it, I felt the spirit and I know he felt the spirit and he now has the Book of Mormon. It was an amazing feeling...the Lord for sure placed him in our path and prepared him to hear our message. Plus we went tracting this week, and the first 2 or 3 houses were not into it. But as we went on and pressed forward the Lord provided us with 3 new families to start sharing the gospel with. We will see how interested they are in a couple of weeks. I know that this is the true church. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. I feel it every time I read it. It contains the fullness of the gospel. Cover to cover. True doctrine. I love this gospel and I love y'all.

That's a good letter! Funny how you mentioned he answers all your questions at the beginning and you have to remember what you asked and in what order cause he does the same thing in letters to me. I have joked about needing to make copies of the letters I send so I can go back and see what I asked.
