WOW!!!



Its been another great week in Chesterfield!! This weekend was especially good. Conference was amazing!! Between Elder Holland and Elder Scott and Elder Hales, all I can say is wow. I couldn't even take notes on Elder Hales and Elder Holland's talk. They were just too good and moving to even write or do anything besides listen. I was a little disappointed though, it seemed to go way to quick and now we have to wait another six months to hear more, oh well.

Our investigators are doing well. We watched conference with two of them, MacKenzie and Marge, at their houses. We haven't been able to get a hold of Kevin this week, so we're going to stop by in the next few days. Vita is doing really well too. We finally got an appointment. The Snow Cone place closes at the end of the month so hopefully we'll be able to teach her more. We're probably going to set a baptismal date at this next appointment, she's ready. Chris is doing really well too. He wants to move his date a few weeks back, but we're going to talk to him on Wed. He has a solid testimony and the devil is just trying to stop it from happening.

We had a really neat opportunity this past week. One of the colleges had a "beliefs fair" They asked for reps from our church and the AP's asked if our district would man it. There were a lot of different beliefs and we were able to hand out a lot of pass along cards. It was a fairly small school and so it didn't go as good as we thought but it was still really good. There was a booth next to us for the schools outreach program and we gave the girl there a Book of Mormon and she just sat there reading it all day. It was really neat.

Mom-I got the package. THANK YOU!! It was much needed. We don't know if we'll get the flu shot yet. No one has said anything. They have a swine flu shot out here I think, but it seems to do more damage than good. No, my hair is normal now, I only did that once or twice, and probably only once or twice more, haha.

Dad-that's neat. Yeah, you'll have to get me that name. There are some people in our ward who know Elder Sitati. They lived in Kenya for a while working for the government and Elder Sitati was a family friend.

Josh-We never went to that one. Its fun going to new places though and throwing down like that. What are you talking about "beat Southridge for a change"? We have always beat them and the times that we didn't, we should've. haha. Keep it up. anyway make sure that you memorize all your scripture mastery and then REMEMBER them. I wish I would have.

I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and know it to be true. The Book of Mormon is the word of God and can bring us closer to Christ better than any other book. Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and did and saw the things which he said.

Love,
Elder Egan
