The Spirit is Strong

Its been another great week in Oakville!

It was a busy week for us again. On Tuesday we had a special team up with a Bro. Steward, who works for the missionary department at the MTC. We went out that night to a couple appointments with Shelly and also Margret. We had some really good lessons and were able to invite the spirit really strongly into them. We stressed the importance of the Sabbath day to Shelly, and then went over the story of King Lamoni's dad's conversion with Margret. Then on Fri. we had another training meeting with Bro. Steward and another man that works at the MTC. It was really good. Wed. we were in the city again, but luckily this time nothing happened to our car. Fri. night, we had another lesson with Margret in a members home. It was probably the most spiritually intense lessons I've been a part of. Both Elder Westfall and myself were just as enlightened and edified as anyone else there that night. We've been working with Margret to be baptized, (she knows everything and has a strong testimony) but this time we really just sat back and let the spirit work. It was great.

Then Sat. we had our ward trunk or treat. Elder Westfall and I opened our truck and decorated it. I must say that for a couple of Elders, we were pretty creative (if thats saying anything). There was also another baptism up in the city that we went to. The stake/zone had a really good month for baptisms, 6, and next month is looking just as good, I think we have 7 dates right now.
Something else exciting is happening next month. Elder Bednar is coming and holding a mission conference right before Thanksgiving! He has a son that lives in our mission, so he's really coming for that, but decided to come and talk to us since he's here. After that I'll have two down and ten more to go before I finish up, haha.

Mom- The zone p-day went really well. We ate alot and played some games. Then some elders went and played Bball and others carved some pumpkins. It was really fun and a good activity. Thats too bad about Bro. Green...... they were on the trek with me. Thats good to hear that Jeff is doing well. You'll have to let me know how he gets back into the swing of things.
Dad-sounds like you've had a busy week too. I only just finished my ballot the other day, and due to the fact that there isn't much time before it needs to be in, I just mailed it from here.
Love you lots,
Elder Egan
