Another Interesting Week

Its been another great week in Oakville!

It was another interesting week anyways. Friday morning we got a called from a ward member and they asked us to help them move some things that evening. I said yes not realizing what I was getting us into. They drove us about 15 min. outside the zone to an office building, where we loaded up two trailers full of stuff, big and heavy stuff. After the first one was full E. Westfall and I jumped back into the truck and drove to the new office and unloaded the truck. Then when the other trailer came (with the two other elders) we unloaded that one as well. there wasn't an elevator so we had to carry everything up two flights of stairs. one of these items was a side by side freezer/fridge. we had it strapped on the dolly and I was pulling from the top (taking it up the stairs) and the other two elders were pushing from the bottom. Well, it came off the dolly and fell on my leg, luckily they got it off quick but it still wasn't very fun. Then later as we were carrying up a really big desk, I tripped going up and the desk fell on me too! By the time we got home it was about 12:30 that night! We were dead.

Then Sat. our ward mission leader calls up and invites us to breakfast (he lives across the street). The thing is, that John Bytheway and his wife were also staying over there. So we ate breakfast with the Bytheways. It was really neat. Then he gave a youth fireside that afternoon. It was great. He had a lot of great insights. some that I really liked were about the Sabbath. He said "Our great grandfathers called it the Holy Sabbath, Our grandfathers called it the Sabbath, our fathers called it Sunday, and we call it the weekend." It really shows how the world views the sabbath day. He also talked about Charity and what it was. He said that Charity is "the love for God, the love from God, and love like God."

Then last night we went over to a couples house to eat with one of our investigators. She is a proffesional pianist and plays for Walt Disney. She asked for a hymn and she made her own arrangment right there on the spot! it was way good!! The lesson went really good too, it was all in all a really fun night and "weekend."

Mom-E. Westfall and I are doing really great. Sometimes we get a little distracted because we'll remember something from the MTC or something, but like i said, we're doing really good. Its going to be a fun transfer. Yeah, he's the one from BYUI. My clothes are fine. Everyone gets those rubber bands in the MTC. I never used mine and gave it away. Depending on the area you do different things. In St. Peters we just did push ups and stuff you can do by yourself. In Chesterfeild we had limited weights to use. In Columbia we had a full bench and a ton of weights, (it helped having two football players living with you). Then at Brent Bankheads, we had a full workout room where we lived downstairs. Now im back to just a few weights and pushups. Exciting stuff.

Dad-the Bankheads are out of town right now, I'll have to get more info on the Egans later. I know they're somewhere in Idaho.
Anyway, I'm trying to read the Book of Mormon this transfer with another couple of elders. I've slowed down though since I've got to Isaiah. I still can't quite get a hold of what he's saying. I'll have to take a class or two on him when I get back.
Have a great week,

Love,
Elder Egan
