I learned a lot from Elder Lister this transfer and I am
grateful for his example and for him helping me. He served very well. This
morning I got the call and I am staying in Dunaújváros and I will be getting
Elder Martin with whom I served with in Győr!! He plays the violin super super
super well and also plays the piano fantastically! I am excited to serve with
him and to find all those ready to be baptized this transfer! "Let us all
press on in the work of the Lord"
I found out that our district has all of sudden gotten a lot
bigger. We will be having district meetings in Budapest because our district
will include us and the sisters here, the assistants, the secretaries, the
missionaries in Érd, and the missionaries in Tatabánya! The mission is condensing
due to the new mission president coming in and the changes in the mission in
July. I am excited to work with all of the missionaries in the zone!
This week on Sunday we got to go to Budapest for stake
conference! It was super cool seeing all the members I served with in the
stake! It was a great reunion and I love them so much! This week we also met
with a couple of investigators. Szandra is doing well with her baptismal date,
she was at stake conference on Sunday and she listened throughout the whole
conference. We are meeting with her tonight to talk about it. We also met with
Szilárd and Elder Lister and Elder Lowe met with him on splits and they said he
said a beautiful prayer! We also ran into his sister-in law while tracting
yesterday as well #miracle.
I got to go on splits with Elder Gentry, from my MTC group,
and it went well! We found a lot and we got a lot of new potential
investigators. That man is a machine I tell you.
This past week, I have been working to say more meaningful
prayers. As a missionary, you pray a lot and it is easy to not put in a lot of
effort in your prayers. I still am working on it but I have noticed that the
spirit is in its abundance when you pray meaningfully and when you consult or
council with your Heavenly Father. We taught several people that concept this
week and I am grateful for it because prayer is the way we can feel closer to
God.
I encourage you all to pray and counsel with your Father in
Heaven. He loves you and wants to you to reach to Him so that He can help you.
Thank you for all your prayers on my behalf.
Hajra,
Elder Ballard
