G'day Family,
This week was Crazy, as they are everytime. First off, the Missionary aspect of it. this saturday We Baptised Priyanker he's so awesome the Baptism got moved from sunday to saturday and we only had like eight hours to plan it but this ward s so aweome it came together really well, The spirit was so strong. I loved it, he said "that was good but I can't wait to get the Holy Ghost!" he's the madest Convert, I can't wait to teach him how to be an awesome saint. so cool. Also we Went over to teach this family a member in the ward found for us, and we taught them, the mom is a recent convert from NZ (New Zealand) and she wants her kids to be baptized and these kids are smart as!! We set a Baptismal date with them for second saturday so the 20th, I'm so pumped for this, but it didn't stop, We got up early in the morning on sunday went upstair to our friends who live above us and we just tld them they were coming to church with us, they got dressed and rode the train with us to the chapel, on the way we set a baptismal date with one of them, for a few weeks from now, and if that wasn't enough there was this guy who's been coming to church for months and no missionaries have taught him because he was about to move back to india but his visa was extened for four years and he wants us to come over now, we'll probably baptise him next week, It's so insane, I and Like tripling a Years worth of work in only five weeks. it's so awesome when your with a smart companion thats not a doofus, and when your like best friends it's fun all the time. I really hope we saty together for a very long time and I think that'll be the case cause President kept puting Zebriskie with the worlds wort missionaries, and he theatened to go home if he wasn't put with a good missionary, so he got me. and I think We'll saty cause we work so well together.
Ok other stories, oh this week since Z-bo is a Cross country runner we got running a lot. about 5-6 miles every day, well actually 10 kilometers wich is 6.21 miles. it's so fun i've never ran that far but it's not to hard I'm really enjoying it and I'm pretty sure my hearts massive now. On day while we were running I found an I pod shuffle one f the new models it was pretty cool, also we meet some cool people at the track, we met some really cocky anti christ guy but he said he'll come to church if Zebriskie beats him at a race, so we have a race this saturday, he's gonna get smashed, hahaha poor kid. oh also one of our investogators challenged me to a two mile race, and if I won he had to come to church the next day, he chickened out and wanted only a mile race then lowered that to a 400 meter (one lap) race, I don't know why he chickened, I'm big and he's a slim fit man. but none the less we raced one lap. it was night time and they had put poles up to stop people from running in the first two lanes. and so we started our race, I was just keeping pace ready to burn him at the end, but he realized i wasn't tired what so ever, and his smoker lungs couldn't take it so i Purposely jumped in front of the bar that ung over the first two lanes. man i was so angry he did that and didn't just finish like a man. but he came to church wich was that good thing. (sigh) well I think thats it for me I love you all and Hope your learnig and growing everyday. be good and stay safe.
Love, Elder Ballard
