Weekly Update 5/2/2011

> Hello Family!
>
> We were given permission to watch the Wedding of Prince William and
> Kate Middleton on Friday. To me it was a very weird experience, 1) The
> wedding itself, and 2) Being able to watch TV. My favourite part was
> all the nice cars that took the people to the wedding. There were
> Loads of Bentley's! :)
>
> This has been a good week we have found two new investigators who are
> really solid! We were tracting a street and we knocked into a man who
> wasn't interested. We asked him for referrals, immediately he pointed
> us to a door across the street, which just so happened to be their
> home.
>
> One of the investigators didn't really have a strong believe in god
> but over the past few days he has gained a testimony. As we shared the
> first vision he shed a tear. The next time we watched the restoration
> DVD, during the first vision he was crying, and when asked about how
> he feels, he expressed that he felt good; we then helped him identify
> the feelings as the spirit testifying to him. So within two visits
> this investigator has gained a testimony of Joseph Smith, and
> everything else that we have shared with him.
>
> The two new investigators came to the baptism of Ethel Simpson. After
> the baptism I went over and said thank you for coming and they said
> that they enjoyed it and that they would continue to going to church.
> I know they felt the spirit at that baptism.
>
> Elder Sander's is a great companion. A strength that I saw in Elder
> Sanders this week is his ability to listen and follow the promptings
> of the still small voice, which comes from the spirit. We have been
> getting along great! It has been good to learn from him in the past
> few weeks.
>
> Thank you for your support! I love and Miss you all!
>
> Love,
> Elder Ballantyne
