Ahola,
Its been another great week in Chesterfield!! We were able to go to the Temple twice this week. One was with MacKenzie. We walked around it with her and James (a less active member). Then we went inside and just sat in the waiting room next to the recommend desk. It was great to see them inside the Temple, even if it wasn't the full thing. She is getting so close to baptism, the change that's come about in both of them is great. Then the next day we were able to go and do a session. I just love the temple. People don't realize how great it is until you cant go often. We treasure and look forward to the days that we are able to go. It brings so much joy and peace amidst the outside world.

Besides MacKenzie, our investigators are all over the place. Vita is doing great. We have taught her for two weeks in a row!! She is still scared of water but it seems like she is willing to do it anyway. She brought up a new concern though this last week. Her husband isn't interested and she asked if there were any "Part Members" in the church. We quickly told her that there was. The great thing is that her main fellowshipper (an old friend) is a part member family and Vita is really excited to ask her about it.

Another of our investigators, on the other hand, is reverting back to old ways. He's started drinking and swearing again. He wasn't at church this week either. His roommate said that he remembered how much fun he was having with his old friends. He still wants to keep meeting with us though. The hard thing is is that he's not willing to pray about it right now because he knows the answer he'll get and doesn't want to really change right now. It looks like it'll take much longer than we thought, but it'll happen. It will just be on the Lords time and not ours.

We also had a really good teaching week. We taught 49 lessons total! 15 came yesterday. We spent all day tracting and the Lord was smiling down on us. However, out of those 15 lessons we didn't get a single new investigator or return apt. We just keep going trusting in the Lord.

Mom-long sleeve would be great and I still have a bunch of meds and stuff. Get well soon!!

Just keep going and don't forget to open your mouths (D&C 33:8-10).

Love,
Elder Egan
