Family,
GUESS WHAT???
Sister Lyles got her mission call to the Japan Fukuoka Mission :D I am
sooooooooooo excited for her. She called President Weaver Monday night when she
opened it, so they could call and tell me. The cool thing is, is that was the
mission that President Weaver opened when he was a missionary. I am so proud of
her and this decision she has made. She is 1. going to fit right in and 2. She
will be one of the greatest missionaries that they will have. They are so lucky
to have Robin Lyles in there mission. I hope she can take something she learned
for the WA-TAC to the far away land of Japan! She leaves on Jan 9th-a whole
transfer away :)
Well the not so good news is that someone broke into our apt. this week. We
were around our apt. building and Sister Nanto needed to use the restroom, so we
stopped by the house and we found that the door was unlocked. We were in a hurry
so we didn't really think much about it. But when we got home that evening we
found our back sliding door wide open :/ We were 99.9% sure that we did not
leave it open. We locked up the house, checked every nook and crannie and Sister
Nanto slept with this Japanese sword by her bed lol. That morning maintenance
came over to put a rod in our door and he found that our whole handle was busted
and a flashlight outside by the door that wasn't ours. Who ever broke in pried
it open and broke our door. So we had to get a new lock and handle and to be
extra cautious they changed our locks too.
This week has been a great week. Sister Nanto have been working hard and
have been seeing many miracles!
Spencer Brotherson is getting baptized this Sunday. We are so excited for
him. It has been great to see him change, to see his heart change and for the
confusion and mist of darkness to be lifted from his mind. Spencer and his
family are excited from him. They already made a trip to the book store and have
more church litterateur that I do!
We had a great lesson with the Perkins family this week. We went over to
drop a big book of Mormon off to Bill Tues. morning and they didn't seem like
they were having a good day. Then we went to there house to teach them on
Saturday and there was a completely different spirit in the home. They were all
ready and they just looked happy. I was shocked. Bill said he had been reading
the Book of Mormon and praying about baptism and later that day he turned on the
TV and a preacher came on and said, "You need to be baptized!" ha ha. I say, God
works in mysterious ways! He is being baptized on Saturday. Bill has progressed
much faster that his family and they want to watch him do it first before they
do. This will be a good chance for Bill to be that shining example to them. Were
hoping he can baptize them in the future!
This week was our sister conference. We had so much fun, but mostly Sister
Grenfell and I followed each other around and talked the whole time. She really
is like my other half here on my mission. She understands me so well and we have
a lot of the same views. It was great to see all of my companions too! Sister
Brown and Douros said they have been working so hard and I would be so proud-I
love them!
We have a lot of great sisters in the WA-TAC and because of the increase in
missionaries we will be getting 15+ sister missionaries in January. So that
means we will all be training and I will have to train and be dying as well. Not
what I really wanted, but it will be fun! Who ever they are, are so lucky to
have the chance to serve in the beautiful WA-TAC!!!!
Love you,
Sister Phillips
We hope that your Christmas season will be one that is filled with the love of our Savior. We would love to invite you to visit
