Another Great Week!!

It has been another great week here in Chesterfield!

We had a Special Zone conference on Thursday. Elder Walker came. It was really really good. He is the head over the temple committee, and had lots of knowledge about them. For the first training he gave, he gave us six tips on how to become better missionaries. I forgot my notes at home, otherwise I'd give them to you. They were really good. Then after lunch he role played with us a lot and then we had a Q and A session. We would've just loved to sit there and hear his answers to our questions, but all things must come to an end.

We had a really good week besides that too. We found two new investigators and we were actually let into a house last night!! It was the first one in about 8 weeks. We were a little taken back at first, only because it doesn't usually happen. We got in and taught a 1st discussion. She was hesitant about setting a return appointment, so we won't say she's "new" but she is a solid potential. I'm not going to lie though, it feels really good when you actually get into a house and people are nice. On Sat. we tracted all day. I think it came out to be seven hours of it. Then the Chesterfield Ward had their "Trunk or Treat." That was a lot of fun, and there were a lot of non members.

Our investigators are doing really well. Marge is doing better than she ever has. She is asking questions and really taking it seriously. Her biggest thing is not seeing how the restored gospel will change her life. We've been planning out a lesson of her for almost a week now and are really excited for it. MacKenzie said in our last appointment that she is going to be baptized but is just waiting for her husband to be worthy to do it and he is really close. It blind sided us when she said it and we were in shock. It was a really great time.

Vita is also doing really well. We had our appointment in a members home. In our meeting previous, she asked about how it was being a part member family. It just so happens that her biggest fellowshipper's husband was a member and so they were able to talk about it. It went perfect. We are hoping to set a date here in the near future, maybe this week, we'll see. The others will just take a little more time and elbow grease.

Transfer calls are coming this Sunday. Neither of us want to leave. It just seems like yesterday when we were worried about transfers. This transfer went way to quick. Elder Nelson thinks that he's going to leave. He's been here four and a half months which is normally the longest you stay, but its not unheard of to stay longer. We'll see.

Mom-I got the sweaters the other day. They are perfect! Thanks a lot.
Dad-the emails are in my inbox. it costs to print them out so I don't, but yes i save them there.
Josh-good job in scouts and in marching. Just keep at it and it'll all be worth it in the end. Don't get comfortable in band. Make sure you keep pushing yourself to be better. That's what happened my last year. the underclassmen forgot what it was like to lose until we were humbled.

Anyway, just keep going and remember to not only read the scriptures daily but to ponder them throughout the day. It helps a lot!

Love,
Elder Egan
