Hello hello!
This week was pretty crazy
because we went to Miskolc twice! Once for Mission President interviews and the
others for splits! Miskolc is beautiful but I gotta say Debrecen tops. ;)
What was cool for splits was
that me and Elder Oliphant, who was in my group at the MTC were companions! We
each had to rely off each others language skills for a couple of hours during
tracting and lookups and I gotta say it was an awesome experience! On Friday,
while tracting in a jungle of ten-stories we accidentally tracted into a member!
It was awesome because both of us knew what she was saying and we both were
able to share scriptures regarding why trials are important. It was super cool
seeing how the gift of tongues worked between us.
Funny experience during tracting: We were in a 10 story and
this one guy answered the door and while gesturing to us said the following:
"Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah." No lie. Me and my comp were
like stunned for a second and we tried to introduce ourselves but he just said
"I don't know" and slammed the door. Interesting guy.
On Saturday the branch held a
going away activity for Elder Haroldsen (who has served in Debrecen for 8
months now), Sister Adams, and the Sheen family which is the American family in
the branch! We invited two investigators to come and they both came! One of
them came to church yesterday! Super fun!
We got to watch the Sunday
afternoon sesssion yesterday and I loved Elder Bednar's talk about Christ and
having faith in Him! I can testify that Jesus Christ knows every one of us! My
knowledge of Him is still growing but I can testify that His atonement is
sufficient! I wish you all an awesome week!
Love,
Elder Ballard
