Hi mom,
First thing is that I WILL BE STAYING IN STAVANGER!!! I am so happy about this! My new companions name is Eldste Ewell and he is a stud! You get lucky being a zone leader because your companions are always awesome!
Your package did show up. Thank you for that! And I would love it if you sent me a jazz shirt in a size adult small. Just send it to my house address because it is small enough to go in the mailbox. Thank you!
Teaching the 14 year old couldn't be better. It is such a blessing and this kid is such a stud. His grandparents are members and are fully active and his mom is a member but completely inactive. The rest of his family is not members and not a fan of the church at all but he went on a trip with the youth to Sweden and went to see the temple and after that he was all in. He is only 14 and he has read a ton in the book of Mormon. He plays for the professional youth soccer team here. After our lessons we play him in chess because he loves to get competitive! He looked devastated when we told him that one of us was going to leave on Wednesday. We will now be spending Christmas day with the grandparents and him and I think the rest of his family. It is going to be amazing! I just love that guy!
I don't have a ton of daylight right now. I don't know how much but it gets dark around 4
Today I will be taking a boat through the fjord where Preikestolen is.
Love you
Elder Egan
This week was great.
Moves have happened and things are busy. I have been in Oslo the past 2 days and will be flying to Bergen on Thursday and then in Haugesund the next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and then fly back to Oslo that evening. So really busy next 2 weeks and then the week of Christmas. This will be the fastest 6 weeks of my mission for sure!
I don't know about anything yet on calling home for Christmas but will let you know next week hopefully.
Everything is going great. The 14 year old is still doing great. I will be spending Christmas day with him and his Grandparents. Really excited.
I will try and send you pictures from last p-day because holy crap it was so cool.
Love you
Eldste Egan

Kjære venner,
Hello everyone. I am sorry it has been so long since I have sent an email out.
I am currently serving in Stavanger Norway and it has been an absolute blast. It is one of the warmest areas in Norway so I it hasn't been the full Norwegian winter like it was last year.
This week I got to travel to the beautiful city of Bergen. It is an amazing area and really fun to do missionary work in. I always thought taking a propeller plane would be fun but I learned real quick that it is not that much fun because your carry on has to go under your feet the entire time. I then tried to eat a 3 foot kebab and failed miserably to finish it.
Christmas is so close and the Christmas food here is really good. Christmas is such a big deal in Norway. This transfer is going by so fast and I'm enjoying it.
My mission has been amazing. I am grateful to work in an amazing ward. I have been reading in The Doctrine and Covenants and in Section 16. It is a great section that talks about what is of great worth and value to us.
Merry Christmas (GOD JUL)
