Here is the weekly update from Justin.....Howdy Family!! Well I got some news for you....I was shocked to receive a call this morning (Monday, October 8) from President Wolfert. He informed me that the Lord wants me somewhere else. As of Wednesday (October 10) I will be serving as a Zone leader in the Marietta Zone...scared but confident that the Lord will give me strength in all things. I accepted this amazing opportunity to serve my fellow missionaries. Elder Childs will be staying here in the Dawsonville Ward. I did not expect this..but the Lord's ways are higher than our ways. It is exciting about the changes to the missionary program. Young men can now serve missions at 18 and young women can serve at 19 now. The church is true!! We have a prophet today who leads and guides us. So I think I need to buy a few more long sleeve white shirts. I am also going to send a package home with some of my mission stuff that I can't keep taking with me. Don't worry I'm tossing out all the random junk!! No more pack rat. :) So for conference weekend we had an investigator show up for the last session, he showed up out of the blue. White shirt, dress shoes, black slacks, the black tie (he hates ties) Book of Mormon, Bible and notepad in hand. I could actually see him as a member of the church and at that point I think I realized the weight of how real this work we are doing is. This is life eternal for our Brothers and Sisters in Georgia. I know that the Lord can change hearts, be we have to invite those hearts to come unto Christ. This is my miracle for this week, it was amazing. My week has been amazing. Our investigators are all doing great. I hope they continue to search the gospel as I move on to my next assignment. I love y'all so much.
Elder Phillips
