Warshington???

Its been another great week in Fayette!

I got my teeth cleaned on Sat. It felt great. Our Branch mission leader is a specialized dentist and offered to clean our teeth. I once again have a renewed desire to take care of my teeth better (not that it was ever bad). We'll see how long it lasts this time. He said that they look good, so I'll try to keep it up.

We had some really good lessons with some of our investigators this week. We taught Dilbert about the Word of Wisdom. The previous appointment we left a pamphlet about it with him. When we got there, he was alright with giving up the pipe and tabacco but with the coffee he put up a little resistance. However, by the end of the lesson (once he made sure that Kool-Aid was OK) he was excited and was planning on drinking Cherry Kool-Aid instead of coffee. It was awesome to see the turn around. We also taught Sandy and Tyler. We didn't think that the lesson went as good as it could have but she sent us a message later that night thanking us for teaching her and Tyler. It made us feel much better about how the lesson went. We found a new person earlier in the week that we have high hopes for. We have another appointment with him on Wed. and hopefully we can teach his family as well.

Dad-That'd be fun to make it to conference. hope all goes well with getting tickets. I'll be on the look out for ya'll when it comes on. I finished the Book of Mormon again this past week. It's always a bitter sweet ending what happens to everyone, but the gospel has gone forth regardless. As I've started over, I have found so many new insights in just the first few chapters of Nephi. It's great.
Mom-I'm planning on writing grandpa Nash today. Good to hear that he's home now. Anything else exciting happening now that the tournament is over? You always seem to have something up your sleeve.

Funny story. I mentioned last week how we had that couple looking at moving out here. Well, as we were talking with them, they asked the basic questions that you ask to all missionaries. They asked "Where are you from?" and with out realizing it I said "Warshington." After all this time of making fun of people who say that, it slipped out! I couldn't believe it. Elder McKinney has been giving me grief ever since too! I guess it's just another one I can add to my list of "new words" that I've started using.

Just so you know. I've been having some bad back pain all week. I called Sister Clark and she recomended a chiropractor. I'm going to try and get an appointment. Nothing big, just to straighten me out.

Love you lots.
Elder Egan
