What up crew it’s elder dall ball out here in maricopa holdin it down
Ok but for real though! I could not ask for a greater gift then the constant companionship of the holy ghost. He is real! Christ in our lives is real!
Quick things that happened this week:- I went to the Gilbert, AZ Temple this week, she pretty – A family that we had dinner with made no bake cookies and, dang they were delish- One day we handed out 7 Book of Mormons- I have mastered the art of microwaving top ramen – I re remembered that jogging actually brings 0 joy, into anyone’s lives. In fact I am so confident in my opinion, I am willing to be that your mood will actually worsen after you have experienced a planned jog. I am not biased I promise – Revelation is real! Revelation is real! ♧
Ok a couple spiritual insights from this week:- I recieved some bars of revelation in a prayer this week, “Stop focusing so much on what you are searching for, go out and help others in their search, and in return, you will find what you are looking for.” Just go out and do the work!!!!!- “Being a missionary is not something you do, it is something you are.” – Elder Dryden – “Character is revealed however, in the power to discern other people’s hardships, when we, ourselves, are suffering.” – David A Bednar / Your character is put into action when you look outward toward other people, in the midst of your problems ◇
You know, I apologize for not sharing lots of stories on here, I can always share stories with you after the mission. However, when a spiritual thought or experience happens, I feel it more appropriate to share those as opposed to my stories. That being said as I continue on I will share some crazy experiences, but I like to focus a little bit more on the spiritual side of things ☆
I love you all! So many prayers are sent out by us missionaries, I hope you all feel them. Thank you for the continuous support! ♡
All love, Elder Ballard
