Here is the latest update from Elder Phillips.....Well it has been another week in the mission field, filled with tractin, teachin and preachin. I love it!! Funny side note, I watched the Christmas devotional from Salt Lake City and heard Elder Uchtdorf's talk but we had to report numbers to the assistants for the zone so we took off before anything else. But at the beginning it showed Temple Square...sigh I miss going to see the lights on those cold weeknights. But I know that the lights will be there next year. Anyway Elder Ball and I are doing fantastic. We have had a pretty awesome week. I love it. It has been pretty mild as far as the weather goes here this week. Y'all are skipping out on the sing along? The one year I'm not there?? French Toast!! It's okay I love singin now though...kinda. Some more good news....this is the last college football season I will miss!! YES!! But it was totally worth it, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven. I love this area alot. I am lookin forward to the holidays this year. I might call, I might Skype...not sure yet. Depends on if we have a computer touse. But if you could send me your Skype account so we can find ya that would be great. I will let you know what is happening the Monday before Christmas so check the email..:) (He doesn't realize that I live for Monday emails from him) Our investigators are alright, just slowly moving forward, but we will get them. So we had dinner with the bishop this week and we go to dinner a little early so we decided to not waste any time so we knocked on a couple of doors. And we didn't have much luck, actually no one was really listening to us. So we got to this door and this man answers and tells us that he just got home from church and that he is a Christian. So I ask well what does it men to be Christian? He answered well that I am saved and that God's lookin out for me. So we dive right into the Book of Morman and how God is watching out for us, by giving us more scripture and a prophet on the earth today. We talked with him for about 15 minutes. And he wasn't too interested but I know that I felt the spirit witness to that man that what we taught was true. He felt it and so did I. I love this work. and I know that the Book of Mormon is true. It still stands today as a testimony of Christ and of what Joseph Smith saw and did. And I cannot deny that. I have felt the spirit testify that it is true. I love this time of year. I love our Savior and I know that the holidays are centered around him. He loves us all so much and wants the best for all of us. Have a great week family. Love ya!!
Elder Phillips
