Tender Mercies

Its been another great week in Columbia!

We had team ups with the Jefferson City Elders again this week. They needed a baptismal interview, so we went up for that and our team up. The new Elder up there is great. His name is Elder Horlacher, from Vegas. He is just a really great missionary and Elder Westfall and him are getting a lot done.

We also had Zone Conference on Friday. It went really good and since then the Zone has been on fire. We've just about doubled our baptism dates and our numbers were really good. Elder Taylor and I had a little bit of a slow week, but good nonetheless. Last night some members invited their friends over for dinner and then we had a lesson with the dad after. It went really good, he is really open and wants to learn. His kids also were intrested.

In order to save miles we decided to ride bikes/get rides two days a week and park the car. Its been really nice for most of the week too. So on Tues we were riding down a narrow road and a car came up behind us. We switched lanes really quick to let him pass. I saw the truck go by and I started getting back into our lane. I didnt see the trailer that he was pulling though. His wheel well was sticking out a foot or so and ran right into me. I flew into the air a good three of four feet before I hit the ground. I'm fine, but it scraped me up just a little (talk about tender mercies). It was all fun though. We finished riding to our appointment and taught a good lesson. But then on the way home my gears weren't working right so we had to call for a ride home.

Dad-There are 22 Elders in the Zone and 4 districts.
Mom-don't have too much fun on spring break.

Love you lots,
Elder Egan
