| San Francisco-Oakland Visitors Center Missionaries |
We talked to a guy Named
Douglas who came into the Visitors Center and told us he was God and Jesus
Christ. We talked to him for about an hour. He said that since he was
little, he has been receiving and fulfilling prophecies.
We talked to a cute 13
year old named Charice who said she'd try to come to church.
We had a miracle while on
the phones at the Visitors Center! We set a goal to send 4 referrals to local
missionaries at the teaching center. We only had 15 minutes left on the phones
and we got 3 people!! One lady wanted us to mail her a copy of the Book of
Mormon and told us that two of her friends wanted a copy of the Bible! So
we were able to get their contact information and arrange for the local
missionaries to deliver them. Then, while I was on the phones; a member
gave me a referral for her son's best friend!!

| My new companion - Sister Bosco |
We found a new
investigator! His name is David!! We also talked to this guy named Tom who was
a Disciple of Christ and very into sharing the gospel with everyone! He didn't
want to read the Book of Mormon but we finished our conversation with him with a
good feeling that at the end of the day, he's still teaching others about
Christ :) We also went to a less active members home (the Gomez's again) and were
able to really gained their trust. We mentioned how missionaries sometimes play
soccer on our p-days and when their 15 year old son was walking us out he asked
us about soccer again. So we're going to try to use that to fellowship him and
get him active!

| We got invited to the Oakland 7th Ward's Chinese program with Mangoes! |
As the title says, Aiden
came to church again!!! He also went to the ward’s young men's activity on
Wednesday. He ended up playing basketball in his suit because he didn't know
you don't have to wear church clothes to the activities. He's also going on a
hike with the young men next Wednesday through Saturday!!!

| My Yummy Dinner! |
We also had an
amazing dinner last night!
 |
| With ice cream for dessert! |
We went to contact a
family of 7 who are potential investigators. When we met with them, they said
we could come back. While we were there, we saw a boy named Chris playing
basketball so we stopped and shot some hoops with him. Sister Bosco challenged him
that if she won he would agree to let us teach him and he said yes. Sister
Bosco won so we taught him a quick lesson and hopefully we can come back :) Also,
while we were talking with Chris there were several 7 or 8 year old boys who
were riding their bikes and doing tricks. They rode past us several times and
after we were done talking with Chris they stopped us and were asking us all
sorts of questions about the afterlife, etc. So we answered their questions and
committed them to not curse this week and to try to come to the Visitors' Center.
We also wrote our phone number on some of the cards we gave them and told them
to go to mormon.org if
they have questions. It was SO cool to see how the Lord puts you in places to
fulfill His work. Even if we never see those kids again; we will never know how
big of an impact we may have had on them. I hope they will join the church
later on in life and I'm glad I had the opportunity to share that message with
them.
Love you all!!
Sister Phillips
