You will never guess where I am right now or who my companion is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have whitewashed into Rhyl that is in Wales and it is sea side. Yes I get to see the Sea every morning!!!!!!! It was so beautiful the first time I saw it yesterday. I am in Heaven!!!! My companion is the one and only Sister Clawson!!!!!!!!!!  While we were sitting at transfers she walked in and I just knew that she was mine. I just had this overwhelming feeling come over me and I just knew. And guess what we found out that we are distantly related!!! She is a direct descendent of Richard Ballantyne!!!! It was her Uncle who put that book together. Speaking of which can you send me the book about him?? I talked to President Preston and he said that it was fine for you to send it to us. Crazy huh!!! To top it all off she has had a blessing to tell her that she will help her distant family members come to the church as well. When we found that out this morning Oh man that spirit was so strong.
 
It has been snowing again this past weekend. But today it is absolutely beautiful!!!! The sun is shining and the beach looks so tempting;) hehe Just kidding.
 
I am sure that they got something from your lesson. And your right you may never know if they did or not, but maybe someday down the road they will share it with their primary class. It is just like Samuel Smith. He left his mission feeling like a failure because he only placed two Book of Mormon's and had no baptisms. But little did he know that out of those two Book of Mormon's we got Brigham Young and his family. So who knows!!!
 
We are not teaching him anymore much to his dislike. But the Elders are.
 
Well believe it or not we will most likely be going to Elder Donaldson's home for Easter. He is the Area Seventy over this area. His son is our Bishop and he brought us to Rhyl from Transfers. They are so nice. We met Elder Donaldson and his wife yesterday as well.
 
I am doing good. I am having a good time and I already Love Sister Clawson.
 
I hope you are all doing well!!!!!
 
Love you mostess
 
Sister Ballantyne
