Conference was Great!!

Its been another great week in Fayette!!

All I have to say about Conference is WOW!! That was great. We got a ride down to Columbia Sat. morning and we spent the weekend with the Zone Leaders. After the Priesthood Session we all just sat quietly in the car taking it all in. There was so much council and guidance given in all the sessions that I am looking forward to being able to go through it again to get the most out of it. I liked Elder Robbins talk too. Another thing that really stuck out to me was "You shouldnt let a day go by without acting on a spiritual prompting" (something like that anyway,I dont remember who said it either, I'll have to check my notes later). There was lots of food-for-thought that I've been trying to digest.

Other than that, at the begining of the week we went on exchanges with our DL. While I was in their area, we stopped by and saw Hollie Spencer, the lady I baptized last year. It was great to see her. She had gone through the Temple a few weeks before too! It was a nice start to the week. We also got a referral from our branch mission leader. We went over there with him and it went really well. We weren't able to teach a lesson but we gained his trust and he invited us back anytime. We have another appointment with him tomorrow.

President Clark also aproved Elder McKinney to get his guitar sent to him. He got it this week and so he's been playing it a lot on his free time. I picked it up this morning and was messing around with it, I've forgotten how difficult it is to learn a new instrument, not knowing even the basics of it.

We're really looking forward to this coming week. We have lots of things set up and zone conference towards the end of the week, so we're really excited.

Mom-We were having really nice weather too! We were up to 88 on Sat!! it was sooooo nice. Then we had a massive lightening storm last night (the real kind that we dont get out west, something that I'll miss) and then this morning was cloudy and a little cold. Did you know that all those people were going to be at conference? Or was it a suprise? Thats funny about Josh and Allison, tell him not to get lost, haha, thats one thing hopefully he won't follow my example in. I recognize the other girls name but I cant remember a face. After all this time there are lots of faces I cant remember sadly.

Dad-I might have said this last week but I don't remember. When we were at the Temple last week, there was a deaf lady going through too. I learn and retain much better when I can read things rather than just hear them. So i was really greatful for that. I remember going throught the Manti temple before we left and the spirit that was there.
Anyway, have fun in Utah and travel safe.
Love,
Elder Egan
