The Gospel Does Wonderful Things!

Its been another fantastic week in Chesterfield!! Since yesterday was MLK Day, the library was closed. so your getting a late letter. But most importantly.......MacKenzie got BAPTIZED!!!!!! It was amazing!!!!!! A little stressful at first because right as the service was starting, Elder Nelson cracked the door open and motioned me to come out. Turns out that the spanish elders were having a baptism in another building on the same night but had forgot to get baptismal suits for the lady and there weren't any at that building. I had to grab some suits and stuff them in a bag so they could run in and grab them. In the mean time, they had sung the opening song (I was supposed to be leading the music) and Elder Nelson was supposed to say the prayer (but he was out trying to figure everything out) so I ran in to say it. I was really anxious, So I couldn't really pay attention to the talk. Luckily I was able to calm down enough to feel the spirit for the rest. Elder Falkner and I were the witness'. Her foot came up and so James had to do it again, but we got it that time. Then we had the confirmation on Sunday. It was an amazing experience. The gospel does so many wonderful things.

We were also on team ups with the Zone Leaders. It was good to serve with Elder Nelson again, even only for a few hours. He's a great Elder and person in general.

We got a new investigator. His name is Durrell. He's about 14 or so and a friend of one of the ward members. The lesson went great and his member friend, Conor Black, was great too. Then we had dinner over there and we were able to get to know him more.
Mom-yeah we got our new President. Its Pres. Briggs. He got in Friday night. He actually made it to our baptism, but I didn"t get to meet him because I was talking with some non members and he had to run to the spanish baptism soon after. But we are having a Zone conference tomorrow to meet him and ask him questions. 3 wards eh...sounds a lot like my normal sunday. It can definitely be tiring but you get to hear lots of good talks.
Josh-Good job at DECA. I can"t believe that all my wonderful cars are gone. What's up with that?
Anyway, have a good week.
Love you lots,
Elder Egan
