Heystzok!
Sooooo, super awesome week this past week! By the title, you
may know Bence is on bap date! We had a lesson with him yesterday and it
went really well! We talked a little bit about baptism in our previous lesson
with him but he was not sure. Yesterday, we helped answer his questions on
different things he had concerns about. We bore testimony of the atonement and
repentance and Elder Shepherd asked him about August for his baptism. Bence
looked at his calendar and was like "yea August sounds pretty good." We
are super excited!
For P-Day we went to this look-out place called Érzsebet
kilátó. You could see all of Budapest from it! It was super windy (as you can
tell from the hair) but it was a beaut.
We also have a new investigator! His name is Jia You! He is
from China but he is super interested in the gospel! He met with missionaries
on the street once and he got a card from them. But he lost the card! But...he
ran into Elder Shepherd and Elder Stephens at Deák Ference Tér! What a miracle
that the Lord led him to them! He is super prepared and we are excited to
work with him!
We went on splits twice this week so it was pretty busy but
I learned a lot! I was in this city called Érd. I went on splits with my old
comp Elder North and it was awesome! We talked to a lot of great people! It is
funny because there are a bunch of graffiti around Érd that says EDS. As
missionaries we kind of interpret that as "Érd Doesn't Suck" haha.
We also had a dinner appointment with the Stake President
and his family yesterday and it was super good! The Stake President is American
but his wife is Hungarian and their kids speak both English and Hungarian.
Super funny because they combine the two languages so we call that
"Hanglish." His wife's mom is not a member but we were able to share
a scripture and a spiritual thought about the life after this one!
I am super grateful to be a missionary and to feel the
spirit! If you can, participate in missionary work because it is the greatest
work here on the earth today! I love you all and have a great week!
Sok Szeretettel,
Elder Ballard
