So crazy week,

So this week i have had many strong testimony building experiences and found out some amazing news, the news is that Elder David A. Bednar is coming to the mission next week to speak to us and we will be able to meet him, i am so excited. That will be on June 5 at chapel Hill where i found out his son actually lives there so that is a big reason for him to come this way.
So i would say we had a very successful week we actually got contacted by people twice, the first on was so i just have to tell the story. So a few weeks ago we saw this guy carrying a whole lot of wedding gifts up to an apartment on the second floor in our same building so we offered to help and so we did, well later that week or so when they got of of there honey moon they came and said thanks and introduced them selves. There names are Kelly and Amanda, so we have been friends with them ever since and we talk to them quite a bit, well this past week as we were getting to leave after dinner we hear a knock at our door and it is kelly and Amanda, so we talk to them and they ask us how we work and all of this stuff, then they asked us to come meet with them today so that was pretty cool. The second one was, we were at a dinner for lunch called Andy's and one of the waitresses got off while we were in there and we noticed she kept coming back in every once in a while, any way as we finished up and got back to our bikes she walked up to us and asked you are Mormons right? we are like ya and all well it turned out we had like a 45 minute discussion with her and she was very displeased with her church and is church searching. the real hold up is her dad hates Mormons and threw away her Book of Mormon so we gave her a new one and we are meeting with her this week.
We just got a lot of neat experiences this week. So in the Holly Springs ward there is this family that one of there friends has been coming to church for the past month and the have told us to be patient because she is afraid of missionaries and stuff like that, so we have been patient and last Sunday she came up to us and asked to have dinner and meet with us, she actually got on the Distribution centers web sit and bought her a nice quad! so that was amazing! The whole family is going to take the lessons and wants to be baptized.
But the really cool thing happened yesterday, and the crazier thing is the spirit. So Saturday i felt impressed to look over the blessings again so i did briefly, but the only actual blessing i have done is the one i did for dad. Then comes Saturday and our Recent Convert Matt came and asked me if i would confer the Aaronic Priesthood on him and ordain him a priest, i was so nervous but is was so cool, just to feel that spirit and feel impressed to say things is so amazing, i am so thankful for the priesthood.
So that was my week pretty cool huh? so how is every thing else going? But it has been raining a lot here i have been soaked four times this week and let me tell you that is fun.
Well hope all is well, i love you all.
love
Elder Phillips
