Back to the Bike.....

Its been another great week in Fayette!


We had an interesting day at church yesterday. There was a couple visiting that used to live in the branch. As we got talking he found out where I was from and asked if I knew the Deans. It turns out that he is Bro. Deans cousin or something. His name was Bro. Ward (I think). So it was fun meeting people that I knew. Then we also had a young man move into the branch from Cal. He is going to be playing football for the Methodist university in Fayette. He is from Samoa and is full of energy and enthusiasm, it's just what the branch needs right now. He was talking about checking out the YSA branch over in Columbia, when we told him that we needed him here. We'll see what he will do. He said that he might attend our branch and just go to the activities in the singles branch.

We've been working with less actives alot this past week, so we really haven't been able to find any new investigators. We had some really good lessons with our other progressing investigators though, however none of them came to church which was kinda a bumber.

There is this brother in the branch, Bro. Freeman, who is a WW2 vet. who now owns a bike repair shop. Well, earlier this week we went to see if we could buy a bike for E. McKinney and to get a new tube for me. Well not only did he get E. McKinney a bike he fixed mine for nothing. Then on top of that, he called us up Friday night and asked if we'd like it if he brought us by some dinner! It was awesome. It was our second real meal since we've been here. The Lord has blessed us this week, much more than we deserve.

Since we both now have working bikes, we've been using them a lot more. It's been a while, but I've still got it down. I'm a little sore, but getting over it. E. McKinney on the other hand has been having some adjusting to get use to biking all over the place. It made me remember back when E. Reese pushed me really hard, and I decided to take it a little bit easier on E. McKinney. The weather hasn't been cooperating with us though, so we haven't been out in a few days (biking that is).

Mom-It just started snowing this morning. We are hearing that its supposed to hit us pretty hard though. We'll see. Yeah, I got your letter last week. If you could just put the check in the bank for me that'd be great.
Dad- If I remember I'll try and take more pics, but knowing me, probably not.
Anyway, have another good week.

Love,
Elder Egan
