weekly update 10/17/2011

HELLO EVERYONE

This week has been a great week it started out to be pretty slow from Monday to about Wednesday then really picked up on Thursday through the rest of the week.

We found a new investigator this week. Her name is Ajeni. She is from Nigeria. She studies Business at Staffordshire University. She has a strong believe in Jesus Christ. She ended up coming to church yesterday. She said she really enjoyed it. She has a few questions that we will answer but she is doing great.

A great miracle happened this week. We are teaching someone named Charlotte, who is 17. Her mom was not going to let her get baptised until she turned 18, when she could make the decision herself. Last week we felt impressed to promise her that if she would continue to pray about it, not only would her mom’s heart would be softened but that she would be a great example to her mom. After much prayer and fasting, her Mom’s heart was softened, so much that she even wants to attend Charlotte’s Baptism! Part of the promise has already come true. I have faith that the other part will come true in the near future.

Elder Van Tonder is doing great. He is such a strong companion to a district leader. He helps ease the load by making sure that everything is being kept to date, especially the area book, and other administration.

I love it here in stoke! We are blessed all the time.

With Love,
Elder Ballantyne
