weekly update 5/16/2011

> Hello Everybody!!!!!!!!
>
> This week just flew by! It was a pretty successful week as well! It
> probably flew by really quickly because of the mission conference with
> Elder Allen F. Packer, and we had an exchange with the rochdale
> Elders. I was with Elder Smith for the exchange. He is a great
> missionary! He is a fantastic finder, always happy, very kind, pure in
> heart, and he has a strong desire to be exactly obedient.
>
> We were able to witness the baptisms of Allen Williams and Lezlicia
> Kintesh, on Saturday evening. They both seemed very excited to be
> baptized. After the baptism Lezlicia and her friends went and spoke to
> a man across the street and invited him to church. She is already
> doing her missionary work.
>
> We have been teaching Rob quite a bit more recently and he has
> expressed that he has gotten an answer about the book of Mormon. We
> also used the baptismal interview question number 2. And he said he
> got an answer about Joseph smith being a prophet. So Rob is
> progressing quite well at the moment. We just need to figure out what
> to do to get him to church.
>
> As for Elder Sanders, He is doing great! I would say a strength that
> he has is, he is personable with everyone. Including other members,
> missionaries and Investigators. There is a lot to be learnt with Elder
> Sanders.
>
> Thanks for all that you do for us!
>
> Love,
> Elder Ballantyne
