I
hope you are all doing well!!!! I miss you all so much. I was so glad
to hear that you were talking to chez. She really likes talking to
you. She is so funny. She reminds me a lot of you. Liverpool was
alright. Every time I go there I mostly just sit around because I do not
speak Chinese. But it was really good. I got to get to know Sister
Merrill. She is really cute and sweet. I like her a lot. But I had a
revelation while I was in Liverpool. Sister Merrill asked me why I came
on my mission. I told her the whole story, but when I came to the part
about the blessing and feeling that I needed to come to Wales to help a
distant family member. Sister Clawson popped into my head. I don't know
why I did not make that connection in my head the first day, but I have
now and I am so humbled that even before my mission Heavenly Father
already knew where I needed to be and who I needed to be with. What a
wonderful thought to know that our Heavenly Father really does love and
care about us!!!
Both Bishop Donaldson and his father Elder Donaldson
have called President Preston and told him that they would like us to
stay. As well as the rest of Elder Donaldsons brothers have told us that
they do not want us to leave yet. It is crazy. We have been able to
help Elder Donaldson's Brothers Barry and Glyn come back to the chuch.
Last week in our lesson the spirit was so strong it sent Barry into
tears and he told us that every time he thought about it that week he
would start crying again. He even went to his brother Glyn's home and
told him that he needed to get his act together and that he was going to
pick them up and go to church. It has been so amazing to see the Holy
Ghost work with this family. Barry has been a member for 40 years and
has never had a testimony or desire to have one. Until he came to Rhyl.
Glyn got up and bore his tesitmony yesterday.
He said that we were magic. They keep asking us what we have done. We
keep telling them that we have not done anything. We are just here to
help them remember what they already know. The spirit in this area is
just so strong.
Sacrament meeting this week went from 98 to 131 people.
Oh I am so proud of both of them!!!!! They seem to be
doing really good!!!! That is really good to hear. I love you all so
much!!. Ya I am not too happy that he is still growing, but maybe now
she can know how I felt when she passed me up. But now both of them
have:( Can you do something to make them shrink before I get home???
Your Primary class sounds like a blast!!!!! Enjoy it!!!!!!!
I am doing alright just sad because I only have 11 months left. The time has flown by so fast.
Ben's baptism is on the 8th of June and then we should be having another one on the 29th of June.
And I am praying and hoping that another one of our investigators will
have a date soon. He knows it is true he says he just wants to know
more.
Mom will you do me a favor??? I was reading this talk
where she was talking about how mothers have insight to their childrens
devine destiny. What would you say mine is???? What do you think I am
destined to do???
I
love you so much and I am so greatful for the wonderful examples you
all are to me!!!!! Thank you for everything you have done and keep doing
for me. Just so you know I am going on another exchange this week. I am
going to Chester to go on excange with one of the Sister Leadership
Trainers.
I love you to the Moon and Back

Sister Ballantyne
