Cumming-Week 2

Here is the latest from Elder Phillips......Well this week was super long.  We have been doing alot of work and knocking a lot of doors.  Holy cow!! so I had one of the best Easter dinner I have ever had.  It was amazing.  Honey ham, biscuits, green beans, taters and deviled eggs.  It was crazy good.  They mad so much food.  I love this ward.  They feed us so well here, it's awesome.  I got your package and loved it, the granola bars are super good.  I'd share with Elder A but he doesn't like candy...he doesn't like sweets at all.  So here is something I was thinking about Elder A birthday is at the end of the month and I was thinkin' if y'all could instead of sending me a package send him one with like with granola bars in it.  Could you do it like you did for my birthday last year...y'all could send him one for his birthday because he never hears from his family basically.  He will be 21 years old this month.  So after reading this I had a little "mom moment" as the boys call it and I shed some tears.  How proud I am of him!!!    I have also decided to leave my bike in Atlanta so that another missionary can use it.  The new area is sweet.  It is alot like Dawsonville, it has a lot of open spaces and cows and horses but it also has a lot of big homes and BIG TRUCKS!!  It is the promise land.  Elder A is sweet, he is the oldest of 6 children and from Tonga.  We are slowly having some luck here, the Ward mission leader wants us to have 6 baptisms before I go home, it's gonna be insane.  You know I'm down!  It's gonna take work.  The weather is heating up and I love it.  Being district leader is pretty easy, not too hard.  The other two missionaries are sweet, Elder J and Elder C.  They are good obedient Elders.  The members love us, they miss having missionaries here.  So here is something cool....so the other night I was praying and I was thinking aobut who we need to work with and help in this ward.  And I had this weird impression of this old man that is a part member and he just started coming this week I got here.  So we went to church and one of the member came up to us and said she had someone that she wants us to teach...and guess who it was??  It was the old man, he wants to take the lessons fromt he missionaries, it was so awesome.  I knew that I received revelation.  It was so awesome, this is his work, it is the Lord's work!  I know it, I know that Christ lives and loves all of us.
Love ya, bye
