Transfer Day

Some pictures we received recently
It was another great week in Columbia!

Transfer calls came. I'm headed back to St. Louis. I'll be in the south stake this time though. I'll be serving with Elder Jenkins. (He was my District Leader when I first came out. What's even funnier is that he was Elder Hoggs companion at that time). I'm really sad to leave here though. I was pretty upset when the call came because I didnt feel that my work was done here. I didn't sleep very well sunday night because of it. So in the morning I called and talked to Pres. Briggs about it. He told me that he was planning to leave me here for another transfer but there was a situation that came up in the south zone and was impressed that that's where I needed to go. After talking with him I felt much better about it and am looking forward to it, sorta. It'll be a new experience for sure.

Other than that our week was all over the place. We had to get new tires on the car which took a lot of time. Then over the weekend the AC in our appartment went out. Of course the landlord isn't in the office over the weekend so we have to endure it. It was 85+ in there. Then someone finally came on Monday. But they fixed everything but the AC! We were not in a good mood. Then when they did fix it, it took another day or so to finally cool off. We're still alive though.

Mom-yeah, Sis. Rider was in my district. I don't know what she's talking about though. Elder Nelson and I would always play the piano, while they were in the back laughing at us. But yeah, Elder Nelson is also from that same area. They knew each other in High School. Then along with that Elder Hogg is from that area too. I've had alot of companions from the Boise area. On of our recent converts was wanting to know how to get the Church History Books. I tried finding them but couldn't. How do you get them?

Dad-Ive been thinking alot about teaching with power and authority lately. Then on Sunday there was a talk about preisthood power and how it is service. Then I started rephrasing my thoughts to teaching with service and authority. I've been meaning to study more on it but my studies have been interupted lately with the transfer. I just thought that it was an interesting way of looking at it.

Anyway
love you lots,
Elder Egan
