Probably this week was the craziest week in my mission but super good as well! I learned a lot!
Right now I am in GYŐR! This is a city in the west part of
Hungary that is really close to the Slovakian border. They have a ward here but
not a lot of members have been coming to church lately so we are going to be
working on that a lot and of course finding those that are prepared. My new
companion's name is Elder Surdu and he is from Calgary, Canada. He was in a
band and he plays the guitar super well! We plan on doing some guitar piano
arrangements in the future.
One of the biggest stories
this week was that I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the airport and
welcome the new missionaries because Elder Hughes got appendicitis! Me and
Elder Gentry went together in his car and we drove the 2 new elders back to the
mission home. Elder Hughes and Elder Bloomer had to stay in the hospital (this
all happened on the 31st). We drove through INTENSE Budapest traffic and then
we made it to the mission home in safety. We had dinner and then at around 9 PM
we went up to Buda castle for the new missionaries. We read the dedicatory
prayer and we escorted the missionaries to the hotel. Elder Hughes was in a
hospital next to the Basilica in Pest so we got some clothes, food, etc. and we
drove to the hospital. It turns out next to the private hospital there were a
lot of crazy Halloween parties. Long
story short, we dropped off Elder Hughes's stuff, picked up Elder Bloomer, drove back and slept in the AP's apartment for the night. We got to bed at around
1:30 #memories.
Another story was that we got to
go to my old city Tatabánya to sing in a choir. Missionaries from Budapest and
Győr both went down to sing in this community choir event. It was really cool
because we put together the whole thing in less than 24 hours!
We have an investigator named
Eszter, who is our mission leader's wife, and she went to her first Sunday
school this week! She really liked it and we will be meeting with her this
week!
Thank you for your support and
prayers! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Ballard
