Q and A
Who is Elder Egan? Elder Egan is from Sandy, Utah. He has 3 siblings- 1 sister and 2 brothers all younger. He loves to ski and has been to peru and africa for mission trips with the HEFY. He likes Sweet Chili sauce. Loves the work and will do it no matter what!
Where do we live? We live in the upstairs of a house. Really nice with enough room for everything we need. (I am uploading a house tour today)
How do we get around? Tbane or like a subway, buses, and good ol' walking.
How to get a Driver's License? We have to do a couple hours of practice driving with an instructor and then we take the test!
Is the YSA in our area? Sadly no but because we are in the institute center a lot we get to see them a lot and they also love to help at the musical!

Oslo Ward!
I have not had the most time to get to know people but I am doing my best! There are a lot of awesome families here and I am so excited to get to know them all! Lots of fun people to meet and not too much time! Party Party!! 

Musical!
This week we got to do the Musical three times and we were able to get out about 200 books every time so way awesome! One of our carts broke... So now we pack our backpacks to the limit and carried them to the musical! #WorthIt! We did the musical last night and got out 200 books like no problem and could have probably given out 250! Things are happening in Norway!

DATS Galore!
So a DAT stands for Date Address Telephone Number. That means if you get a date for an appointment at a set place and you get your telephone number you get a DAT. This way we do not just get a phone number and just call people, but we have an appointment with a phone number! Way good ideas coming from HQ! We got 4 this week and we are way pumped because that means we will be teaching a ton this week!

Zone conference
We had an awesome Zone Conference and we had lots of fun and just were able to chat with all the homies again! I look forward to leadership conference to see my MTC companions and Elder Putt again!! It will be incredible! 

Honestly it has just been work work work! I love it and has lead to some really fun stories that I still have to write in my journal, but with the musical and all sometimes journal writing does not happen! Trying to be more diligent! We have future posterity to think of here!

Well I love you all and hope that all you beautiful people find some way to lighten someone else's burdens in this upcoming week! We all know someone who could use our help so I would love to hear about how you all have helped those people! I believe that one of the best ways to show our Father in Heaven that we love him, and something I know brings Him tremendous joy, is loving and serving our fellow brother and sisters on this earth! Go and out and help people!


Dream Big
Don't Doubt
Give 'em Heaven!
