What a week!‏

Hey Everyone,

Wow what a week! it has been a truly remarkable week, and it is crazy that we are starting the last week of the transfer, it seems like yesterday that Elder Henley got transferred and Elder Roberts Came in. Time is flying and i can't believe it is June Already! The heat is really setting in! We had a really good week, also we got contacted again by a guy Named David. So Elder Roberts and I were in this apartment complex and we walked down this street that neither of us have ever been on and we were just hoping that it connected to where we needed to go and as we were walking David shouted out to us off of his balcony and asked if we were missionaries and if we could come back and teach him so we said ya we will be back here Friday. So On Friday we go over there with an Exchange and he lets us in and we talk, it turns out that he saw us the other day and felt something good about us. Then a few days later he saw us walking down the street and something told him to invite us over so he did! HE has been praying for help in his life he really wants to change his life around and right now hi is in a gang and he knows that it is wrong and he needs to find God. SO he committed to take the lessons and if this is true he will get baptized! Crazy stuff, we were truly lead to David and it wasn't a luck that we walked down that street it was because we were led by the spirit. It is truly amazing to see how we are used as instruments in the Lords hands.
SO we got to meet Elder Bednar, Elder Snow and two other members of the Seventy on Saturday and that is one thing that is pretty cool that really stuck out to me is that we are not the teacher the spirit is we are just the tool of the conduit because the spirit is the real teacher, so we need to get lost and get out of the way. "If you want to be first you have to be willing to be last." I can't even Explain the spirit that was felt when Elder Bednar walked in to the chapel it was over whelming, i was spiritually exhausted after wards because of how hard i was listening and how strong the spirit testified. One thing that was interesting and extremely neat is that when he stood up he told us don't take notes except for Personal Revelation and i am not going to give a talk. it was all what did you learn from you study of my talks and what do you see about the pattern and then Question and answer session, The conference lasted over three hours. That is just the week end to, it has been amazing i love the work.
I love you all.
Love
Elder Brad Phillips
