Monday Moment

Its been another great week in Chesterfield!

The weather has been great the past few days. Sunny and warm in the days but then it gets pretty cold in the evening. It doesn't help that it get dark at five. Speaking of getting dark early, the ward got a letter from a retirement center. It said that some LDS missionaries had contacted a lady in the parking lot one evening. They didn't know who it was so they sent letters to the wards in the area and then to Salt Lake!

Other than that it was a slow week. Lots of things came up that were unexpected and kept us from working as much as we wanted, but yesterday was amazing and made up for it. We are planning on setting a baptismal date with MacKenzie this week and wanted her husband, James, to do it. He has only just recently been reactivated but hasn't taken the sacrament in about 15 years. And we have been working with him and the bishop, so that he would feel comfortable and worthy to do so. After I took the bread yesterday I looked back just in time to see him do the same. It was the greatest feeling in the world. They have both changed so much and confirmed our thoughts about setting the date with MacKenzie. I'll let you know when it is next week!

We have two dinner appointments for thanksgiving and we had to start declining invitations, otherwise I'd be huge(er), haha. But seriously, I could use some new black and blue pants, not for my suits but for normal use. My black ones got ripped up in St. Peters from my bike and the blue ones are tight (the brand must run small or something, haha).

This week is Zone Conference. I'm really looking forward to it. They are always great. Then next week the zone is going to the Temple with the Turleys. We can't wait, but I guess we'll have too.

Dad-Elder Ferrin and I get along great. I've been blessed with really good companions so far. The district is basically the same. We got a new sister and Elder Nelson took the place of one of the Zone Leaders, but other than that we're the same.

Love you,
Elder Egan
