Busy Week in Columbia

It's been another great week in Columbia!


We had Zone Conference this week. It was really good. I had to give a training on commitments. It went too long, but it was still alright. Elder Taylor and the assistants also trained. Then afterwards, the assistants came on team up's with us. We were able to find 12 new investigators! The Lord really blessed us this week. We haven't been able to get back in contact with them yet, but we're working on it.


Funny story. We pull up to an appointment with Bro. Tia and were walking to the door, when a car zooms up and two men ran out. They were dressed in shirts and ties, one was even wearing a suit. At first we think that they're members coming to our appointment for some reason. Then one says, looks like we got here first. Turns out that they were Jehovahs Witnesses. Elder Taylor walks up to them and says "I don't think so, lets go in together". We were confident that our appointment would be able to feel the Spirit with us. So we all go knock on the door, but he wasn't home. We had a good conversation with them anyway, though, and left on good terms.

Jerry is doing really well, he had his interview last night and his baptism is this Saturday. We finished up all the lessons and he is just pumped!

When we were at zone conference I asked President Briggs about the mission thing. Turns out that the members who told us, grossly misinterpeted what they read. The Peoria Ill mission is being dissolved and we are just taking one or two of their areas. It's exciting nonetheless.

Mom, yes I got everything. We'll always have 4 of us in this apartment. It's 4 bed and 3 bath. We have 2 study rooms and then our bedrooms.

Dad- sounds like you've been busy, I'm sure the Elders appreciate all the help.

Love,
Elder Egan
