Here is the latest from Elder Phillips.....It is hard to believe that I have been in Marietta now for almost six months. The ward that I attend feels like my home ward now. I am thinking that I may be transferred next week so I will try and send some stuff home on Monday. My blanket is still good but my coat has seen better days. I am thinking that I will leave my bike for another Elder to use. What do you think, Mom?? My week has been good, just a pretty normal week. The weather is basically the same. Elder M is good, just pushin' forward hoping to get someone on the path to eternal life. I've seen our teaching pool change a lot since I've been here, it is so crazy and it breaks my heart sometimes when someone I've grown to love doesn't join the church, they miss out on blessings...missionary work...I love it so much. I'm looking forward to General conference this next month, it has come so fast. So here is our little miracle for the week. I was on exchanges with a missionary and we had a couple of minutes to use before our dinner appointment and so I suggested since we were in his area maybe we could do this new finding tool, the peace and blessings. I told him that I would lead out the door approach. So we knocked on the first door, it was a young kid, no interest. The second door we knocked on a lady answered and we introduced ourselves as representatives of the Lord Jesus Christ and she knew we were...the spirit testified that we were, she let us right in and we left the blessing. Those missionaries from that area will be going back to teach that lady tomorrow. It was so awesome that him and I were able to do that. I am so grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord. The Gospel is true!! I love this work!! I love my Heavenly Father and I know that my Savior lives and loves me.
