Its been another great week in Chesterfield! It will also be my last. I am being transferred out to Columbia Mo. I'll be serving with an Elder that served in Chesterfield about a year ago, Elder Taylor. I will also be a Zone Leader, so keep me in your prayers (I know that you don't anyways, ha-ha). I hear you can't send mail directly to me because people will steal it. Just send it to the Mission Office. Speaking of which, if anything has been sent there recently, I'll get it on Wed. at transfers. We found three new investigators this last week. The work as been pretty slow recently but it is finally picking up (just in time for me to get transferred, haha). We started teaching this couple yesterday, Patt and Patrica. After we taught them a first, we found out that his uncle had just passed away. So I told him that we had another message about the answers to life's great questions; Where we came from, Why we're here, and where we're going. And guess what, he has been thinking about these questions, great huh?! So we got another appointment with him later this week. Then while we were at the Singles Branch a guy just walked up to us and said that he wanted the lessons!!
This morning we went to the "Old Court House" it is where Dread Scott was tried (it was a really important supreme court case). It was really neat to be there and get some really neat pics. Then afterwards we went to Mass at the Basilica (one of the biggest cathedrals in the US). It was crazy, but some really neat art on the walls. It took 84 years to build, there are some really neat things in there.
We had one of our investigators at church yesterday. it was the lady that we've done a lot of service for (one of her kids are in jail). She really liked it. Hopefully Elder Falkner will keep it going great with her (I know he will).
We had a special zone conference on Wed. and we got to meet Pres. Briggs. He is really intense and has a great spirit and got us all pumped. He's been in the Dominican Republic for the last three and a half years, so every once in a while he'll speak spanish. He has worked for the missionary dept. for over 40 years though so he knows what he's doing. He was also Pres. Monson's stake president back in the day!
Mom-I'll be sure to vote and I guess I'll try to help you keep your job, haha. When is it officially due?
Dad-That's great news about Adam getting baptized, I'm really happy for them. I've been studying Jacob 5 for that past few days. I'm really trying to understand it and when you really try for it the Lord opens up your understanding and pours inspiration into you. Its a great feeling.
Its been a long and busy week but for some reason the library is really full today and busy (probably because we're later than normal) so I've got to get running.
Love you lots,
Elder Egan
