weekly update 2/20/2012

> Hello,
>
> We have still been teaching Sian, Sarah, Tom, Sam, and Leigh. They are
> each doing great! Especially Sian as you will see in a bit.
>
> Leigh was a new investigator this week he was taught for about two
> years. The last time he was taught was about a year ago. I think one
> of the Elders that taught him was Elder Driscoll who works at golden
> corral, I think. We were walking down to Helmshore to see some people.
> On our way Leigh stopped us and asked us to teach him. At first we
> thought it might be a Chave wanting to take the mick. We went and
> talked to him anyway, and ended up teaching him on Monday. We will see
> him again this Friday.
>
> Now on to the best news we've heard all week; yesterday we were
> talking with bishop and he told us that Sian has agreed to be
> baptized! She has not accepted a date as of yet, she says she wants to
> wait until we have taught everything, and then set a date. We were so
> excited to hear that!
>
> We also saw Sarah and tom on Thursday. The lesson went very well.
> Sarah is doing really well; she has been asking a lot of questions, so
> you can tell that she is genuinely interested. Her progress is mostly
> because of the contact that she has with the Simcocks, a member
> family. Lee has been a big help in her progress!
>
> With love,
> Elder Ballantyne
