See You Next Week!!!

Its been another great week in Fayette!!

So as you might have heard there have been some really bad storms going though Missouri. All we got was an awesome thunderstorm (we heard thunder from about 7-9am one morning)!! However, 30 miles south of us was hit by a tornado and St. Louis was hit pretty bad too. We heard on Sat that the airport was hit hard and that it was closed until further notice. Well that didn't sit very well with me, not knowing a whole lot about it, so I got on the phone. I talked to our District and Zone leaders (I knew they didn't know anything, but for the sake of going up the chain I did it) then I texted the AP's and after not hearing anything from them, texted Pres. Clark. Well he didn't respond until late that night after we'd gone to bed, but I woke up to read it. I had asked if our flights were going to be affected and he said "Yeah, you'll have to extend another month." But as I kept reading he was just kidding and said that we problably wouldn't be affected. I was pretty shocked though when I first read it, but it was really funny afterwards.

Anyway, yesterday was good. We had a good Easter Service and were able to get a lot done. We saw our friend in jail (we go there usually 3 times a week) and then we taught a new investigator that Elder McKinney found while we were doing service at the Food Pantry a few weeks ago. He talked to her a little about what we do and she finally got a hold of us and wanted to learn more. Our lesson went really good. Our other investigators are doing well too. John came to church! He could only stay for sacrament because of a family gathering. It was really good though because Fayette is about 20 min the opposite way that he needed to go! We weren't able to teach him this week because of scheduling problems but we will this week. Everyone else is making progress.

We had a meeting in St. Louis this past Thursday. I only stayed for the first half (they talked about nutrition) and then sat with another Elder who was recovering from surgery in the mission home for the second half. Pres. thought that since I was going home it wasn't as important for me to be at the meeting as it was for the other Elders. I saw Elder Westfall though. That was fun. I was also able to see a lot of other Elders that I haven't seen for a while. So all in all it was a fun trip.

Mom-yes I got all my things, thank you. I'll send the card home after we get home (if I dont forget by then, haha). Since you'll follow my airport rules I guess it won't be to difficult to follow yours:) I have one more box I'm going to send out too.
Dad-Make sure you get feeling better.

Anyways, one more email...see you next week
Love,
Elder Egan
