Hi everyone,
Today was a really fun day. we went into St. Louis. We went to the zoo and then the arch. The arch is really neat and it is an amazing design. Much cooler in person than in pictures. Six elders went and a member from one of the wards took us. We've got a baptismal date. His name is Dominik, he's 14. We've set the date for the 27th, but arent sure if we can do it then. Most of the youth will be at youth conference, we would like one of the young men to baptize him, and were not sure if we'll be able to teach all of the lessons by then. We'll try though. We didnt tract into the glen beck guy, he had already been taught all the lesson when i came. He knows its true, just doesnt want to be baptised without his wife, and she isnt really interested.
We had seven investigators at church yesterday, it felt great to finally see some "fruits of our labors." The lady who left us the package last week is moving in the next week or so, so we wont be hearing anything else from her. She's acutally moving to Washington, up north i think.
The district training was good, everyone participated nicely. Yes, i usually carry a spanish BoM with me, you never know when you'll need it.
The thunder storms are really cool here. the lightning is so much better than back home.
Dad- good job on sharing/talking about the gospel. people are much more willing to listen to missionaries if they know a member.
Josh- Happy Birthday!!!
I dont know how much more i'll be able to say today, we got back from the city later than we planned and were running out of time. So if i just kinda end the letter, sorry.We are teaching a partmember family tonight. The husband is a member and his daughter is investigating. She would be a member too but her mom is against it. We're working on it though. I think i mentioned the family from Haiti last time. Anyway, we taught a really good lesson yesterday. we watched the restoration dvd and bore testimony afterwards. He came to church yesterday, it was fast Sunday, and he really liked how everyone got up and bore theirs. Everyone did a really good job.
Love Elder Egan
