Week 18: A Day in the Life of Kispest

Boldog Karacsonyt!!!!

Heyo!!! So Kispest is super fun! We have three awesome investigators! Lili, a 9 year old, is getting baptized this transfer and Ilona, a néni whose son is a member, we are committing to baptism this week! The last we will be working towards baptism this transfer if we can meet up with him. His name is Robi and he has been meeting with the missionaries for the past 20 years! So we will work with him haha

I live in a 10 story which is cool! We live on the 8th floor so we have a sweet view of all the ten stories in Kispest haha. The Kispest boundaries consist of actual Kispest and the downtown area of Pest so we have all the beautiful parts of Pest! Me and Elder Gajdos are in charge of actual Kispest which are all the ten stories but it's all good because that means we get to talk to lots of people! 

This past week we had several Christmas programs! President allowed us to go see the Christmas concert the stake was putting on at the stake center in Pest and it was super good! I can't believe how much talent the Budapest stake has! 

On Saturday the Kispest ward put on a talent show and we as a district performed an act it was awesome! I shared a video on my google account so you can all see it. We did the act again in our Christmas zone conference so that is the video but we did the same act both times haha. 

And that is why I was not able to email yesterday. We had our Christmas zone conference and it was literally the best! We got to watch President's favorite movie "The Little Prince!" If you haven't seen it you should watch it! It is super good! We had a white elephant game and I got this sowing kit box and a chicken toy thingy. The AP's and the secretaries put on this sweet program. Elder Heaps, one of the AP's was Santa  and each gave us a Christmas card and a pen which had our name engrave on it! 

And of course today was my birthday!!!! The big 20!!!! Thank you for all the birthday wishes you are all the best!! I wish you all the best and a happy and a Merry Christmas!! Remember Christ and His birth and don't forget to serve others!!

With love,

Elder Ballard
