June 22nd

Hello everyone,
Well the weather out here is starting to get much worse. Its been over 100 for a few days with between 90-100% humidity, you gotta love it, especially riding bikes. The people are for the most part sympathetic to us and fill our water for us which gives us more time to talk with them. Some days i figure that if i just take my shower with my clothes on ID be better off.
No bike crashes this week, but i have had at least four flat tires. it was really frustrating. The last flat tire i had was my fault though. i left a small tool that takes off the tire inside of it when i put it back on, and it put a bunch of small holes in the tube. I about hit myself when i realized what i did.
We have a new investigator. She's pretty much "golden." we stopped by one day and gave her a bunch of chapters to read from the BoM, when we came back for our appointment the next day she had read all of it, taken notes, and had two pages of questions. She didn't make it to church because she was leaving out of town but she's awesome.
The rest of the people we're teaching are slowly coming along. It would be so much easier if we could just take away their agency and make them get baptized. Oh wait, that was tried once and didn't work out too well for the one who thought of it, so maybe not.
Its interesting how people say they keep the commandments but look right over them for the most part. I'm pretty sure that there is one in there that says "keep the Sabbath day holy," I could be wrong though. We went out tracting yesterday morning because there weren't any meetings in the morning. People go to church in the morning but are then out doing whatever they want afterwards. It reminds me of what the Lord said, "they draw close to me with their lips but their hearts are far from me." (something like that anyway).
Dad-when do you need that scripture? um...I really like Alma 26:12...yeah that would be good.
Mom-My shoes are doing great. I usually wear the first pair i got, they're much more comfortable (i have no idea how to spell that). I serve in the St. Peters Ward. Its pretty much just like the one back home. A little smaller but close. There is some way awesome youth here though. They all have really strong testimonies and a few of the young men come on team-ups a lot of the time which really helps. Sounds like youth conference went good. I bet your glad its over though.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir was in St. Louis on sat. we were planing on going but all of our investigators declined our offer (the mission was given a bunch of tickets for missionaries to take their investigators). then on Friday we got a text from the AP's saying we could go without an investigator but we decided to just stay in St. Peters and keep working. We heard it went really well though.
You guys should read a little out of preach my gospel when you do family scripture reading. we are trying to get our ward to do that so they become more missionary minded. it also has a buch of really good study tips/guides/everything in there. so take a look at it!
Have an amazing week and remember that it is EVERYONES duty to share the gospel with people.
Love
Elder Egan
