Cumming-Week 9

Here is the latest from Elder Phillips in Cumming, Georgia....he celebrated his 21st birthday on the 20th of May......Thanks for the birthday wishes.  It is weird that I am not 21 years old.  I still feel like a little kid.  I don't feel like an adult.  So I had Sister A call you because she was saying something about my license not being legit or something, I don't know.  But I talked with Elder A this week and he does want me to call the court to see for sure if I have to have someone with me, he doesn't think I do but we will see.  I will let you know what happens, if I'm not in the slammer that is. :)  Our week has been hot and hot.  We didn't really find any new people this week.  We have one lady that we are teaching and we invited her to be baptized, she isn't ready though.  We got dumped on yesterday with rain, I've never seen so much rain in my whole life, it was so crazy.  My allergies are better now, they were pretty bad this past couple of days.  Things are just kind of moving along.  We were out knocking doors as usual and we came across this family, who was super cool.  They were friends with the missionaries before us, so hopefully we can get in with them and teach them.  Our teaching pool is rather small right now, we just trying our best to find new people to teach.  I am probably going to leave my bike in Georgia.  Well, that is about all I have this week.  Love ya, bye!!

Cumming-Week 8

Here is the latest from Elder Phillips....it is a short update since we got to talk with him on Sunday for Mother's Day.  He seems to be doing great and it was wonderful to hear his voice.  I am getting excited about him coming home in just a few weeks.......Well, it was good to talk to y'all on Mother's Day.  I am glad that everything is going well there.  After I done talking to y'all I took off my pants at our dinner appointment....she repaired my pants and I wore a robe while she did it.  Sweet!!  I am excited about seeing y'all in a month.  Tell Tyler to focus and enjoy the little things but don't worry about the little things.  Love ya bye!!

Cumming-Week 7

Here is the latest update from Georgia......Mom, I am planning on calling you on Mother's day because it will be easier plus y'all will see me a month later anyway. My court date is in Duluth, Georgia and I have to be there at 9:00 am.  The work is going well, we have an investigator gettin' baptized on the 11th of May.  The weather is slowly heatin' up here and I am excited about that.  I will try and send my quilt home on Monday.  We are having dinner with a cool family on Mother's day and I will call you from there....no Skype but it's okay.  So basically, we had a crazy experience, we went to teach one of our gators, in a trailer park and we get there and they had a friend there, who was super excited to talk about Jesus, he used to persecute the Christians but now he loves Jesus.  So we invited him to read the Book of Mormon, he was excited about it.  So things are good.  Talk to ya later.

Love ya

Cumming-Week 6

Here is another weekly update from Elder Phillips....our baptism didn't work out this weekend but our other guy is still on date for May.  Our other investigators are all right, we are just trying to find more of them.  We don't have too many at this point.  This week is good, it was pretty dry until like Friday then it rained like crazy for 3 days.  The Farm was fun, lots of horse poop.  We didn't go out this week, too much to do.  So we got transfer calls this week and Elder A and I are sticking together, Coal Mountain/Cumming will be my last area.  So I will start working on selling my bike, I guess.  So this week we were knockin doors on this street called Philips Creek Dr and like everyone we talked to was super nice to us.  There was one lady that said she really wanted us to come back and talk with her.  So that was legit, I guess.  But other than that we are just working on the members, trying to get them to share the gospel...and knockin on a billion doors.  haha.  I am going to try and send my blanket home in the next couple of weeks.  Things are good, we have Stake conference this next weekend and then Mother's day.  But I love this work a lot.  Well, that is about it, pretty boring week.  Not too much to say.  Lol!!!

Love ya,
Elder Phillips
