Week 51: The Pursuit of Happiness

Soooooo,

Pretty busy week this past week. We had zone conferences here and it was super inspirational! I learned a lot about things I could do better and improve. We watched some clips from Elder Holland and his talk in the mission president seminar from this year! The spirit was definitely there. After conference, me and Elder Shepherd set some goals to what we can do better in discussions and teachings and other situations. 

On P-day we went to the Terror House. This was my second time there but I learned a lot more this time about what went on and just how much Hungary, as a country, went through during those times. It is incredible at how the Lord, through his love and grace, opened the door for us to freely preach the gospel in Hungary! 

We were not able to meet with Bence this week because his job has gotten a lot more busy! Bence will have to work on the week of the Margit Island festival (one of the biggest in Europe) which also happens to be the week of his baptism. We will probably change his date but he still wants to be baptized and still desires it! Keep praying and keep hoping and all will be well! 

I shared a spiritual thought about the pursuit of happiness by Elder Holland! Great talk! If any of you have the opportunity to read it, read it! It talks about how the gospel and our agency influences whether we are happy! I know that if we choose to be happy and be obedient then we will find true happiness and true joy in this life! I love you all and thank you for the prayers! Have a great and fantastic week!

Love, 

Elder Josh Ballard
