Hola a todos!
This week was pretty hectic coming to our new area in the little town of Tal Tal. There are four missionaries here and two different apartments but our mission president told us we need to save money and live together so we spent our first day moving the other elders to our apartment. "We have another one big enough for the four of you all set up so don’t worry--we are ending the contract of yours too.” Well now the apartment they had lined up has fallen through and we will soon be living on the streets...jk
I’ve learned the importance of writing down all we do as missionaries in the area book with all the addresses and such, because the one we have has almost no information--meaning we spent most of our time this week walking around trying to find the people the previous missionaries were working with.
But we were able to meet a lady who was baptized 2 weeks ago. Her whole life she was a very active evangelist until her recently converted son invited her to church.
"I just felt so amazing and had so much peace. I wanted to know why, so the missionaries came over and explained the Book of Mormon. At first I rejected it, but after a few nights of reading, tears dripped on its pages from the wonderful feelings that I couldn’t deny," she expressed. How grateful I am for the Book of Mormon in missionary work--it does like 70% of the work for us.
Received my flight plans home today, ugg. Que loco—I will be home September 14th!!! Well, as I learned at the start of my mission in the CCM, work hard until they tell you it’s time to go home. I’ll try to do that, but not just in the sense of coming home from the mission, but working hard until we go home to the Father. :P
Everything is awesome,
Elder Phillips
