G'day Family,
Hey guys, thank you all for the uplifting emails, sorry i wasn't on yesterday it was trnafers and it was a normal work your butt off day. but good news is I am staying in the Glenroy ward. I love this ward, they've warmed up to me very fast. they're great. As compared to last week this week was a bit better. only to the fact that We got to meet an Apostle. Quentin L Cook came and visited our mission and it was really fun to meet him. This was the first one i got to meet because i was exhiled to tazzy when Jeffry R Holland came so it was grouse to see him. Funny thing is When I Shook his hand I knew exactly what he was gonna ask me "Are you Related to Russell?" hahaha it's very cool becuase Edler Cook and Elder Ballard Work together on the missionary department of the church so my response to him was " Well Elder Cook, Maybe you should ask him... Ask him "hey hows your grandson in melbourne doing?", and if he says "good" then I'm related, If he says "what are you talking about?" then I'm not" Elder Cook Laughed really hard when i said this and he grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eyes and said "Your definately a Ballard Through and through!" hahaha there it is I heard it form an apostles mouth he says i'm related. wahoo i'm related to an apostle. hahaha his words to us were very good. I enjoyed the spirit he brings and he really strengthened me and made my desire to work harder grow. Also some good news of the week is we have a young man named Priyanker getting baptised this sunday he is 19 and a stud he reads and learns everything very well he understands all the commandments and wants to do his best we found him only like a week and a half ago, he is what you call a golden investigator. The funny story of the week happened while we were at the train sation. Elder Zabriskie and I walk to the end of the station where we see two men walking along the tracks we stare at them and them back at us. they talk amongst themselves off in the distance debating on weather they should turn back. you see they thought we were train security there to write them a ticket for walking by the tracks. but we weren't but they were still confused. then i decide to pull out our mobile t scare them and it didn't the second i put the phone to my ear they turned around. then they yelled out and asked "how long has this been here?" i had no clue what they were talking about there were only two things the train tracks and a reall old grafitied fence. so i just yelled back "looks like centuries" then they turned and returned they way they were coming but then we yelled out and told them we weren't security. they looked so dumb in the face and embarassed hahahaha it was hilarious they then turned back towards us and crossed
the track and went home. we were laughing so hard. other than doing some work this week with minimal success we also got to go to a gym and help member in our ward work out. he's blind and flippin strong, he is the third strongest man in victoria he is awesome, by far my favorite type of service. haha well fam thats about it for me this week i love you all and i'm doing a bit better, i thinki just have to work harder. but thanks for the love and support. oh ya 13 months down.
-Elder Ballard
