Adjusting to a New Area

Its been another great week in Oakville!

We had a fun week. I finally got to meet the rest of our investigators this week. Its nice to finally put a face to the name and know who I'm talking about. Our car was leaking for about a week and we were not sure what it was. We couldn't smell anything but we thought that it was gas because we were having to fill up really fast. Anyway, the other day Elder Jenkins decides to "taste" it. We were right. So we take it into the dealership, it is still under warrenty, but they weren't very helpful or friendly. The guys I talked to said that the shop was closed and pretty much told us to leave. So we call the roadside assistance people and they tell us to just drop it off at the dealership and that they'll take care of it. We drive to another dealer and drop it off. However, we had no way to get back home. Finally some other Elders answered and picked us up. Then we get a call today from the dealership and they tell me that they couldnt find anything! I told them what was wrong with it again and they said that they'd take another look. So to make a long story shorter, we haven't had a car all weekend and are having to bum rides from the Bankheads. Only problem is, that tonight is FHE and we have multiple appointments and a funeral to be at. Oh well, it'll all work out.

The people we're teaching are great and we re-set a baptismal date with a young women the other day for the 26th. She is Bosnian/gypsy. There are a lot of Bosnian/gypsy people here. She also has a younger sister that we are trying to teach more regularly. We're also teaching an older lady who is very smart and accepts the Book of Mormon and everything but has an old family tradition of following the beliefs of a church but never joining. We're making a lot of headway though and will hopefully be setting a date in the near future.

Zone Conference is on Wed. It'll be the Brigg's last one. They leave on the first and the Clarks come in right after them. We had our last interviews this past week. In it he told me to "relax and live life." We were talking about not dwelling on what we could've done but looking forward. He mentioned how he can discipline a missionary sternly but then afterwards still consider him for leadership, not looking at the past. It was great advice.

Mom-Droping off those picture of Elder Adams wasnt weird at all. Its fun when that happens. When I was with Elder Nelson there was a family who were going to Bosie and they went to lunch with his family. It made his week.
Dad-I was reading in the war chapters of Alma and it mentioned that even with all the wars and contention among the people, it said how happy they were. It was interesting to think about how dispite their/our hardships we can still be "happy."

Anyway, we will be moving at the end of the month (we're actually going to Bro Bankhead's parents, the Bankheads, haha). I think it'll be on July 2 or something, just a heads up.

Love you lots,
Elder Egan
