weekly update 1/24/2011

Hello Everybody

This week was a lot better weather wise. It was really sunny for most of the days. Then in the evening it would get really foggy, but it didn't rain on us that much at all this week which is a real blessing.

This was a pretty tough week, we felt like we worked hard but the numbers didn't support that. We discussed the reason why we weren't seeing success. We think it is because we were working hard but we weren't working smart. There are a time when we were street contacting and it just wasn't productive because not very many people were out on the streets, what we should have done is tried knocking doors, what we did was continued to speak with the few people that were on the street.

We received a specialized training on Tuesday and it was great! A new family/ individual mission plan tool was given to us. I have really enjoyed teaching it. We were teaching one of the members and we asked what experiences he had with sharing the gospel, it was so nice to hear the experiences he had. I hope he enjoyed being reminded of those experiences and will want to have more of them.

Thank you all for your support!
With Love,
Elder Ballantyne
