Greetings from Chesterfield.......

Greetings from Chesterfield/Ballwin/Manchester/Winchester/Town and Country/ and Des Peres!!!

(Yes those are all the cities that I cover now). I cover three wards, the Chesterfield 1st, Parkway, and Chesterfield Singles Branch. so yesterday was a busy day. I was at church from about 7:45-4 for the different wards and meetings. They are really good wards. The current temple president and the next temple president are both in my ward.

I also met a girl yesterday in the Chesterfield ward that was in my international class at BYUI, crazy stuff. It is really nice to have a car, we drive a 2006 Mazda 3. We'll probably get a new one while I'm here though. We don't talk to as many people on the streets, but we do get to testify alot to people at the door step, its alot of fun. We went around a few days ago and put our names on list at hosptials and funeral homes as ministers that people can call on for comfort. it was kinda fun. We were finding a place to park at a hospital and we pulled into a spot. Coincidentally it was reserved for "clergy only" so we parked (I'll send a pic) it was really funny. We're teaching a few people (mostly youth). Mitchell is 15 and has a baptismal date, however he had a rough time last night. His mom is not supporting him and his dad just wants to make sure that this is what he wants. His parents are divorced on top of that and so we're trying to calm things down there. Mae is 18 and a friend of a recent convert, Larry. shes been reading and im pretty sure that she has a testimony. We've only taught her the 1st lesson officially but I guess she sat in on some of Larry's lessons. We are hoping to set a date with her this week. (oh and by the way they are both in Chesterfield Ward and both youth referrals!!!). In Parkway we have three investigators, Vita, Colleen, and Merika. Vita owns two snow cone shack things and we teach her out side of them. (I have yet to meet her though). Merika is from Albania and Colleen I don't know too much about (I haven't met her either).

There is alot of potential here and I think that great things are in store for this area. Elder Nelson is great. He is from Nampa ID and went to BYU before he came out. Hes been out about 6 months. No I haven't taken any pics. yet, but I will eventually:) We live with the McCords. They're pretty much awesome! They buy us milk and cereal even before we start to get low and if we try to refuse they pretty much shove it in our arms and send us down stairs. They're just really great people. I forgot to mention that the Temple is almost in our area. It's on the wrong side of the highway. As such, just like in Lake Oswego, the houses out here are really big. With that in mind, we get fed every night and its always delicious.


The service sounded really nice. I was shocked when you told me about Grant, but I vaguely remember him saying something about that.
Love you lots,
Elder Egan
