August 3rd

Greetings,
It sounds like the weather here and the weather over there have switched. Its been way nice and pretty cool. It rains every once and a while but I have come to appreciate it so much more now that I have to bike everywhere.
The work has been going really good out here.
Adria is still on track for baptism this month, hopefully i still be here for it. She came to a member baptism on Sat and really enjoyed it.
Wenton finally came to church again. This time he brought his whole family!! It was really neat. They had to leave after sacrament but we were still really excited. He is really close to baptism. He said that he would but wouldn’t set a date. He said that in the past he has had dreams where his dad would come to him and tell him what to do. We're trying to teach him that we don’t always get a dream or angelic messenger to get an answer. He'll be way solid though once he is baptized. he keeps telling us that he hates it when people go from church to church and that he'll never do that.
Denise hasn’t been to church in the last two weeks. We’re going to check up on her today. we think it might have something to do with the boyfriend...work could be another possibility...or maybe a little of both. We told her last lesson that she either needed to move out or get married. That was a fun lesson for sure.
I think i told you about a less active (la) we found a couple weeks ago, Christine Evjen. Anyway, she read the whole BoM in a week and a half! she is way solid and excited to be active.
This week our zone leader got emergency transferred in the middle of our service time. the assistants were picking him up in a few hours and so they had to run home and pack him up. Not sure what happened but quite a few people got moved around.
We've been pretty busy this week but it seems like we've done alot of tracting. We've met a bunch of interesting people a Buhdist, Muslium, Supper devote Catholics who actually knew what they believed, etc. We've learned a lot this week and its been really fun learning about different peoples beliefs (just strengthens my own).
Dad-We have started doing something like that too but for getting appointments. Instead of asking "if" or "when" we could come back we ask "what time do you get off work?" then "would weekends or weekdays be better?" and then give two specific times and POW we've got a return appointment. Keep it easy and dont over do it for your back.
Mom-ran out of time last week to try any. Im planning on it today though. Let Grandpa know he's in my prayers.

Love,
Elder Egan
