Hello from Preston!!!!
>
> As you can tell I got transferred to Preston, England! And I’m serving
> with Elder Cofone (Ka-phone-ay), from Trinidad and Tobago. It's going
> to be a good transfer!
>
> This has been a great week! The members have really replied to the
> "Call of Duty." We were able to get a lot of the members out teaching
> with us. I have been out teaching with some of these members until
> this week. I think after building the relationship with them, they
> were more comfortable coming out with us.
>
> This week I went on exchanges with Elder Misbach. A strength I saw in
> him was he was always smiling, he is exactly obedient and, along with
> smiling, he was very personable. We saw great miracles while on
> exchange. One of those was when we were street contacting, we saw a
> man carrying a package of some sort. We went over and offered our
> services and he accepted and as we were carrying this package we were
> speaking to him and he told us that he doesn't usually speak to people
> like us, he then said, “The spirit told me to listen to you." He then
> told us that our message was better than gold. From that we were able
> to set up an appointment with him.
>
> I’m really excited to be serving in Preston. What a blessing to be in
> a place that has so much church history! It's a Chinese speaking area.
> (no i don't know Chinese) The Chinese students are all going home for
> the summer. With all the Chinese going home we have an mostly empty
> teaching pool. We got some work cut out for us to replenish the
> teaching pool. Elder Cofone is a great companion we are going to see a
> great transfer here in Preston.
>
> With love,
> Elder Ballantyne
