Hot and Humid

Its been another great week in Oakville!

It was a vey fun week where we were able to hit the road and teach a lot of people. Not much has come from it yet but we have some great potentials. We have a baptism this week, that we are really looking forward to. She's the 18 year old, I don't remember if I told you about her or not. But anyway she and her 14 year old sister both went to youth conference this past weekend and really liked it. We are wanting to baptize her sister as well but we havent brought it up yet. We are planning on doing it tomorrow at our next appointment. We also taught another one of our progressing investigators on Sat. Last week we had set it up to meet and teach her at the church (we haven't been able to get her to come yet, so we thought that if we showed her around she'd be more willing to come). Well anyway, I mentioned that youth conference was last weekend too. We didn't realize that, until the stake pres. texted us while we were at another appointment and told us that she had got there early and that the youth conference dance was there! Well, we rush over there and as soon as I open the doors to the church this loud booming was going on! So our plan didn't go quite like we wanted but we took her into some of the stake offices, where it was a little quieter, and taught our lesson. It turns out that she was really glad that the building was loud and crazy because the kids were off the streets. And although she didn't come on Sunday, it was still a really good lesson.

We were on Team ups with some other elders this week, I went with Elder Westfall in his area and that night a member came to work with us. Funny part of it was that his younger brother was in the MTC the same time that Elder Westfall and I were there. His younger brother was actually our "Zone leader" in the MTC and we knew him pretty well. It was really neat to find out how he was doing.

Today, we're going downtown to go to the City Museum. From what I hear its a big playground with tunnels and crazy stuff to just mess around. We're going with four other elders so that'll be fun.

Mom-I'll call Columbia and ask about the letter. I have a birthday card for Josh, its been sitting on my desk for about a week now. Ill try to get it off today, just so you know that I didn't forget.

Dad-The summer is definitly starting. The heat alone isn't too bad but the humidity just kills you. Luckily enough people around here practice what they preach and are wonderfull Christians and give us water and stuff, even it they shut the door on us. We got our car back too, still not fixed, but right now we'll take it. I was just talking to Pres. Briggs about how we can always do more and whatever we do isnt good enough. That is why his council to relax and live life was so great. All we can do is the best we can and then through the Atonement everything else will fall into place.

Love you lots,
Elder Egan
