Tine is Flying By

Its been another great week in Oakville!!
We had a really good week. We got a few new investigators. There is a man that we started seeing that is friends with a few families in the ward. So we took a recent RM who knew him over and were able to make a lot of head way and we have a return appointment for this wed. We also finally got ahold of this Part Member family that we've been trying to teach the whole time ive been here. We were able to teach her son, they came to church, and we have another apointment wtih them today. He turns 12 next month, and the big push is to try and baptize him so he can get the priesthood soon after. We'll see how it goes.

We've had some really great lessons with Margret too. When we taught her last friday she still didnt feel ready. She tells us she wants to be baptized but just not yet. We're teaching her today as well and we're planning to talk about prayer some more. The other two elders in the ward have a baptism this weekend. We're really excited for them. They have a lot of work and the ward is really excited for everyone that is coming. Together we had eight investigators there on sunday and that has been about average for the past month or so. The great thing is, they all want to be baptized, we just have to work out a few "road blocks" (Word of Wisdom, and marriage mainly).
We have another really busy week this week. We have another training meeting tues, exchanges wed and thurs, zone leader council fri, and then a district leader meeting sun and in the midst of all that, apointments with our investigators and what not. We're going to get a lot done so it should go by fairly quick.

Mom-Yes I'd agree, time is flying by way to quick. We're being "observed" next monday. There was an Elder here last transfer who went out to Smithton Ridge. I had him say hi to everyone for me and call a few back to repentance. It's always good to keep in touch with those you teach, even though its hard.

Dad-We usually do baptisms on Sat so that they can be confirmed the next day in sacrament. I think that the church discourages same day confirmations, but its up to the bishop (he has the keys and authority over the confirmations). Yeah, I've heard of Sis. Shumsky, has never been in my zone though.
Josh-tell Ms. McMaster hi for me and then make some smart comment about "house wives." She'll know what your talking about.

Anyway, have a great week.
Love,
Elder Egan
