Howdy,
This past week has been really hot and humid, again. Sat. was the hottest of the year so far and the humidity isnt helping at all. The only good that comes from the heat is that people are more willing to talk to us...sometimes. The bugs here are terrible. I got bit 5+ times on one leg in one night. luckily they dont itch too bad. Its funny becasue when we come home at night we go down this hill and if your mouth is open you eat 4 or 5 bugs, gives us a burst of protien to finish the night.
We had two new investigators come to church yesterday. Denise, who we've taught a few times, and Larry who is dating a less active single mom in our ward. Both look really encouraging. One of our older investigators, Adria, said that she had a baptism date in mind but wouldnt tell us what it was. the missionaries have been working with her forever.
Transfers are this week. Elder Reese and I are staying in St. Peters luckily. So im here for at least another six weeks. we find out the sunday before the transfer. Elder Reese has been here just a bit longer than me. Elder Westfall is being transferred into the area next to us though. He called me last night to tell me. it'll be good to see him again.
Mom-just keep the ropes. i dont need them. Aslo, could you send me my baseball mit and a ball or two? We had dinner at a members house yesterday. She made burritos. I know that doesnt sound like anything special, but these were amazing. They were kinda like your Cafe Rio but not really. It had the rice, beans, and shredded meat, cheese and the works, and tasted just as good. I made myself eat a couple of them but later regreted it, almost. Could you get me Lindsay Hoo's home adress. I have her one at school but that doesnt help much when she's not there.
Dad-a man introduced himself to me at church the other day and said that he had Egan's in his line. Come to find out, he is through Marry Adiline (something like that) who was Richard Erastus's daughter or something. I couldnt remember how we were tied in there though. Good job on reading PMG. Its a really good way to focus your study. With only the hour that we have to study in the morning it is hard to study the scripture/pmg/and for the investigators so i havent gone through it as much as i would like.
What!?!? No fireworks at the fort!?!?! they always do that. i guess you'll have to find something else fun to do. There are firework stands all over the place here and it brings back memories of those long, hot days working out there.
Well I cant think of anything else right now so i'll write next week,
Love Elder Egan

June 22nd
Hello everyone,
Well the weather out here is starting to get much worse. Its been over 100 for a few days with between 90-100% humidity, you gotta love it, especially riding bikes. The people are for the most part sympathetic to us and fill our water for us which gives us more time to talk with them. Some days i figure that if i just take my shower with my clothes on ID be better off.
No bike crashes this week, but i have had at least four flat tires. it was really frustrating. The last flat tire i had was my fault though. i left a small tool that takes off the tire inside of it when i put it back on, and it put a bunch of small holes in the tube. I about hit myself when i realized what i did.
We have a new investigator. She's pretty much "golden." we stopped by one day and gave her a bunch of chapters to read from the BoM, when we came back for our appointment the next day she had read all of it, taken notes, and had two pages of questions. She didn't make it to church because she was leaving out of town but she's awesome.
The rest of the people we're teaching are slowly coming along. It would be so much easier if we could just take away their agency and make them get baptized. Oh wait, that was tried once and didn't work out too well for the one who thought of it, so maybe not.
Its interesting how people say they keep the commandments but look right over them for the most part. I'm pretty sure that there is one in there that says "keep the Sabbath day holy," I could be wrong though. We went out tracting yesterday morning because there weren't any meetings in the morning. People go to church in the morning but are then out doing whatever they want afterwards. It reminds me of what the Lord said, "they draw close to me with their lips but their hearts are far from me." (something like that anyway).
Dad-when do you need that scripture? um...I really like Alma 26:12...yeah that would be good.
Mom-My shoes are doing great. I usually wear the first pair i got, they're much more comfortable (i have no idea how to spell that). I serve in the St. Peters Ward. Its pretty much just like the one back home. A little smaller but close. There is some way awesome youth here though. They all have really strong testimonies and a few of the young men come on team-ups a lot of the time which really helps. Sounds like youth conference went good. I bet your glad its over though.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir was in St. Louis on sat. we were planing on going but all of our investigators declined our offer (the mission was given a bunch of tickets for missionaries to take their investigators). then on Friday we got a text from the AP's saying we could go without an investigator but we decided to just stay in St. Peters and keep working. We heard it went really well though.
You guys should read a little out of preach my gospel when you do family scripture reading. we are trying to get our ward to do that so they become more missionary minded. it also has a buch of really good study tips/guides/everything in there. so take a look at it!
Have an amazing week and remember that it is EVERYONES duty to share the gospel with people.
Love
Elder Egan
Oh yeah, everyone here says "Warshington" its driving me crazy!!!

Hello everyone!!
Its been an interesting week here in St. Peters. We've had mucho thunderstorms. They are so much better than back home. The lightening is almost constant at times. So the other day I was riding down the street looking for our turn. I thought we'd passed it so i was looking behind me, it was a little too long though. I veered off to the right and started skidding along a fence. This was fine until I hit the fence pole. I was thrown off, caught myself with my hand and skidded on my shoulder down the sidewalk a bit. Amazing thing is though, i wasn't cut at all. My shoulder is a little red, and my wrist is bruised but no cuts. The Lord is really looking out for me. That wasn't the end though. A few miles down the road, Elder Reese was in front of me. He stopped to cross the street but i didn't brake in time and came running into him. Luckily neither one of us fell off or got hurt.
Our investigators are coming along slowly, but we have truly been blessed this week. I don't remember if I told you or not, but we set another baptismal date, for William. Neither of them are ready yet so were pushing them back and not setting a date again until we see more progress. The family from Haiti though are coming along really well. We saw him yesterday. He had kept all of his commitments and had a lot of questions that we were able to answer.
We just looked at the arch, didn't have time to go up in it. I got both your package and the one from Aunt Debi. Both were great. Don't worry about the ties. I'm fine now that i have some blue pants.
Dad-its just south of 94 right off of parallel lane. We went to the temple last thursday with our ward mission leader. Ware able to go once a transfer but it is recommended to go less than that. Jenny-Hi
A missionary serving from the St. Peters ward came home this last week. He served in Las Vegas. He said he knew Jeff. His name is Elder Coffee. He said that Jeff doesn't slack and always worked hard.
Here's some pics. Enjoy. Ill send more in another email.

Hi everyone,
Today was a really fun day. we went into St. Louis. We went to the zoo and then the arch. The arch is really neat and it is an amazing design. Much cooler in person than in pictures. Six elders went and a member from one of the wards took us. We've got a baptismal date. His name is Dominik, he's 14. We've set the date for the 27th, but arent sure if we can do it then. Most of the youth will be at youth conference, we would like one of the young men to baptize him, and were not sure if we'll be able to teach all of the lessons by then. We'll try though. We didnt tract into the glen beck guy, he had already been taught all the lesson when i came. He knows its true, just doesnt want to be baptised without his wife, and she isnt really interested.
We had seven investigators at church yesterday, it felt great to finally see some "fruits of our labors." The lady who left us the package last week is moving in the next week or so, so we wont be hearing anything else from her. She's acutally moving to Washington, up north i think.
The district training was good, everyone participated nicely. Yes, i usually carry a spanish BoM with me, you never know when you'll need it.
The thunder storms are really cool here. the lightning is so much better than back home.
Dad- good job on sharing/talking about the gospel. people are much more willing to listen to missionaries if they know a member.
Josh- Happy Birthday!!!
I dont know how much more i'll be able to say today, we got back from the city later than we planned and were running out of time. So if i just kinda end the letter, sorry.We are teaching a partmember family tonight. The husband is a member and his daughter is investigating. She would be a member too but her mom is against it. We're working on it though. I think i mentioned the family from Haiti last time. Anyway, we taught a really good lesson yesterday. we watched the restoration dvd and bore testimony afterwards. He came to church yesterday, it was fast Sunday, and he really liked how everyone got up and bore theirs. Everyone did a really good job.

Hey everyone,
All is going well in St. Peters. The food is great and nothing unusual. I got my bike last wed. from an elder who left. It is really nice and expensive but he sold it to me really cheap. The only problem is that it has a "road bike" seat or something and feels like a rock. Its terrible to sit on, but i'm getting use to it.
Yes that was a new tie. We had a tie trade at the MTC and i got that one (it was the yellow one right?) If you want to send me some more of my ties that would be fine :) and if you come across some blue pants it would be nice too. Tell Josh to get use to it. I wake up every morning with sore muscles and still have to ride, haha.
The weather has been pretty nice. Warm, 80's i think, but not too humid yet. We were tracting the other day and we came across a hispanic lady. She only spoke a little english but luckily with my amazing spanish skills i was able to convert her!! Not really but i was able to explain who we were, gave her a copy of el libro de mormon, and got a return appointment. We went back yesterday with a guy in our ward, Bro. Tolbert, who served in Chile and we taught the first lesson to her and her husband. They were really receptive and we referred them to the spanish elders in our area. At the end of the lesson i bore my testimony in spanish which i hoped helped. We are also teaching a family from Haiti, the Jacquet's they're learning english and have a french accent. their a great family. There was actually another family who were from Haiti that was converted a few months ago and they knew the Jacquets from Haiti.
We got home last night and their was a bag hanging on our door. We went inside threw it on the table and started planning (we were already running late because of our appointment with the Jacquets) so we didnt look in it til later last night. It had towels and envelops for each of us. In the envelops was a prayer that a sister in the ward wrote about us. It was really strange. We'd been warned about her because she claimed to recive revelation for the elders before us. She would also show up at their appartment really early in the morning and late at night. the elders had to move because of it. so anyway, after we read these "prayers" Elder Johnsen called (one of the ZL's) who happened to be one of the elders that had to move. He told us some of the things that have happened with her. It was crazy. We're going to tell the bishop and let him know that she's doing it again.
We also have this investigator who is obsessed with glen beck. The jehovah witnesses would always stop by his house and so he would kick the door open and say that he was mormon. they would leave right away. but one day the elders came to his door, he kicked the door open and said that he was a mormon. The elders got this big smile on their faces and since then he has been taking the lessons. the only reason he let them in was because of Glenn beck, haha.
by the way, if you want you can send me the cord for my camera to the computer. I can try to attach some pics. otherwise ill send the card home. Dad you should only speak for five min. and we can make it a family tradition,haha. I'm sure bro hullinger would like that. Thats a great talk by elder hales.
The DL ask if i would give the training in our district meeting on wed. Its on recognizing the spirit and listening to him...something like that anyway. i'm not quite sure what i'm doing considering i've only been to one district meeting so far, but whatever. Pres. Turley said that you could forward emails to me as long as there arent too many.
Ive already been out over a month counting the MTC. It goes by crazy fast. The ward here reminds me of ours back home. there's a brother who i swear is bro brockmans twin, haha. There is a Bro. Hatch here, and says he has family in vancouver. do you know any? The ward is very social and they throw a lot of parties. They've got a good youth program too and we go on team ups with the priest quite a bit. Today we're going to a park and playing some games with some of the other elders in the zone and having a bbq. I cut my hair this morning too. Could you send me one or two more short sleeve shirts. I stained one with blood (not sure if i can get it out completely, from a bloody nose. It was right after we got done talking with a lady. as soon as she shut the door blood just started coming. it was a hot day) and so i've only got five. and wearing long sleeve is killer. thanks,
Love you lots,Elder Egan

Hey everyone,
sorry its been so long but yesterday was pday but also memorial day and so the the library was closed. I have about an hour, but no real time limit. Like i said, im in St. Peters mo. well acutally im living in St Charles, but my area is St Peters. The people out here are great for the most part, willing to hear at least part of our message. My comp is elder Reese from Mt Carmel Ut. he's tall and a red head, so we fit in together. we're working with a lot of people however only one or two are really progressing. the people out here are very religious and very content with their beliefs and dont want to change. we've got a few potential investigators though, so hopefully we'll start seeing some results of our work soon.
If anyone tells you that this part of the country is flat, please hurt them badly, just kidding, but seriously, there are a bunch of huge hills here. And on top of that I'm in a biking area. I found out really quick that i was out of shape, but its getting easier. the humidity doesnt help either, however ive been warned it only gets much worse. but whatever. i definitly wont be gaining any weight for a while.
the members have been taking great care of us, the only problem is that there is so many of them i cant remember their names. give the elders a break if they dont remember yours for a while. theyve got lots on their minds. we get feed almost everynight. if we dont have an appiontment we'll just go home or take our dinner at night and get home a little early.
The Lords hand is definitly in this work. there is no way it can be done without Him. I dont think ive ever prayed so much in my life and seen results so quickly. dont get me wrong, not everything is perfect down here, but it is much better when the Lord is your companion and helper.
We live in an appartment. its actually really nice, not that we're ever in it long enough to enjoy it. Yesterday there was a ward softball game and picnic. it was the "old men" vs the "young men." in other words it was those who wore garments against those who didnt. We slaughtered them (if im allowed to say that). it felt really good playing ball again. we then went to the picnic and ate hamburgures and hotdogs and played a few games. it was nice to be able to wear "normal" clothes for a while. we had two appointments after that, that went pretty good. we taught a part member family and a recent convert. we then tracted around the recent converts house and it started to pour. we got soaking wet, but were able to contact a few people.
thanks for the package. i was finally able to enjoy some cereal this morning becasue pday wasnt til yesterday and we didnt have any milk. the fruit snacks were all melted together but there still tasty. right now im borrowing another elders bike who is in a car area somewhere else in the zone. Im buying another elders bike on weds. who is leaving, and so far what ive heard is that it is a really nice bike.
happy late birthday dad!! sorry i wasnt able to send a card or something. hope it went well. pres turley sent a letter to you guys, you might have got it by now, if not there'll be a pic of me with them in it. ill send my memory card home in a little bit, after im able to take more pics. i wake up tired and sore every morning but soon forget about it as the day goes on, until its about time to go home and it hits you once again.
we've got a few appiontments today and were planning on doing some tracting in the mean time. tonight there is another religious group coming and taking a tour of the church building. mutual and stuff is tonight so they'll get to see all of the different organizations, so we'll be at that to help answer any questions.
do me a favor and help the missionaries out by giving them referals and talking to everyone about the church and inviting people to church things. its much easier when members are on the front doing the finding so that we can come in and do what the spirit does best and teach. tracting is long and difficult with little success.
there is alot to learn but thankfully ive got some of the best teachers, Elder Reese, and the Lord. pass along cards are wonderfull. probably to wonderfull becasue all i do sometimes is give them the card and get on my way without trying to teach them myself. so if i can do it so can everyone else. im sure i forgot to tell you something but we've got to get going
Love Elder Egan

there is alot to learn but thankfully ive got some of the best teachers, Elder Reese, and the Lord. pass along cards are wonderfull. probably to wonderfull becasue all i do sometimes is give them the card and get on my way without trying to teach them myself. so if i can do it so can everyone else. im sure i forgot to tell you something but we've got to get going
Love Elder Egan
