Lots of Work to Do

Its been a great week in Fayette!

The people out here are great! There are about 25 or so people that normally come out every week. We had an investigator family of four there as well which was awesome. We only meet for two hours, sacrament and Priesthood and RS. For Priesthood we split into Aaronic and Melchedzek groups for lessons. I think we had 6 or 7 in our class total. We actually don't live in Fayette and there aren't very many members that do. So as we were talking with our branch mission leader, he was telling us how great that'd be if we found a good solid "all american" family there. Well we've been praying for it everyday and on Sunday we fasted for it along with our branch mission leader. We went tracting after church and not only did we find TWO potential families we also found a less active whose name we didn't even have on our records and she said that she wanted to come back!! We have an appointment with one of the new families tomorrow and we will probably stop by the other one next Sunday to see how her Book of Mormon reading went. We are both really excited for the work here and the Lord is pouring out His blessings on us each day.

My companion is Elder McKinney from Phoenix. He's already a really good missionary. I only have to show him a few things, but he has the lessons down really well and one of the best parts is, is that he's not shy! He's not scared to talk or open his mouth and speak up. We're having lots of fun together and hopefully we'll be together for a while.

Mom- We have a car, but we only have a hand full of miles and all the little towns are fairly spread out so we are planning on doing some biking a couple of days a week.
Dad-Yeah I know Elder Murdock really well. He has been in my zone a couple of times and he actually just took my place in Oakville. He's from the TriCities, so we talk about Washington all the time. He is a really good missionary and leader. No the storms/tornadoes must be elsewhere. I didnt even know about them. The weather has been rainy in the mornings but the sun comes out in the afternoon and its been bitter cold. When we went tracting on Sunday we forgot our gloves back at the house and the hand I use to carry my scriptures in froze!

Anyway, we got lots to do here and hopefully I'll finish out my mission here.
Love you,
Elder Egan
