Week 17: Going to BUDAPEST!!!

Mi Zu!!!!!!!
So I am going to the big city!!! I am going to a part of Budapest called Kispest which is on the Pest side but a little more east! Kispest's literal translation is Little Pest! My new companion is going to be Elder Gajdos! He was in my group in the MTC so it is going to be a blast next transfer! Elder Smith is going to train here in Debrecen again!
I have grown to love Debrecen and especially the members so much! The branch president Joci and his wife invited us over last night to watch the Christmas Devotional! It was so much fun! It turns out they invited other members in the branch as well and we celebrated one of the member's birthdays! I love them so much and I will miss them!
Anyways, unfortunately, I ran out of time to talk a lot but also yesterday we got two let-ins! We taught this 40 year old man who is a super good guitarist (his name is János) and this báci (older man) who goes to the Roman Catholic church. János is now officially investigating the church and Elder Smith will visit the older man sometime this week!
Christmas is coming and I encourage you to be that light for someone who is in need of it this Christmas season! Let us all strive to become like Christ and follow His perfect example by helping others! I pray that we may all feel His peace and help! I wish you all a fantastic week and I will provide more details about Kispest next Monday!
Sok Szeretettel,

Elder Ballard

It got super foggy/frosty earlier this week. It is so weird walking in fog being a kid from Vegas. 





The Branch held a Mikúlás party (Santa Clause Party)


Elder Smith hit his year mark so we burned his shirt 


We visited Hajdusámson, a village outside of Debrecen on Sunday! Super rendés!


We visited the Katiék again with the Sisters!


Our awesome Branch President Joci leading the choir.
