Staying Here In Noblesville!

Well hello everyone! These past two weeks have been a bit slower than usual. When I first got here things were rolling and the work was moving along really fast, but just how missionary work goes, there will be times of up's and down's. Right now a couple of the people we have been teaching have been ghosting us. Meaning they don’t respond to us at all and we cant get in contact with them to set up another lesson. But it's all good because we still got our solid people that respond to us and we still have lessons with them.

We had a pretty funny experience with one of the members last week. So last Monday just out of the blue we get a text from a random number and it said something like "no???? I wasn’t aware of this..." and me and my comp were like what the heck who is this. So we looked up the number in member tools and found that it was an old guy from our ward. So we decided to give him a call to clear up some of the confusion. He answers the phone and we ask him if he meant to send that text to us and he said yes and he thought that we had scheduled dinner with him for that evening but we didn’t. He was like "oh interesting it must have been the Democrats messing with my phone and sending that to me" Me and my comp were dying laughing it was so funny. Since we were on the phone with him he invites us to have dinner with them for the following day. But he told us that we needed to answer one question to see if we were worthy to come over and so we were like haha sure what's the question. He continues on and asks us "are either of you Democrats??? Because if you are you ain't invited over here." I was laughing so hard and I told him that I am a proud supporter of my president and he said, good good well we will see you tomorrow. So it's the next day and we show up to their house,’ we knock on the front door and Bro Merrill (that's the old man's name) comes out. I couldn’t believe it but I swear I was talking to my Grandpa Keith! He looked almost identical to him it was so funny haha! (ps. Grandpa he even had the same sunglasses as you!) It was a fun time hanging out with them and having dinner with them. I thought it was a pretty funny experience.

We are still teaching Jon and he is progressing and doing really well! We had to push his date back to October 17th due to some scheduling difficulties with this stupid virus. I think it is for the best because that will give us a little more time to really nail everything down and teach him everything he needs to be taught and also resolve any concerns that he might have. It's been really cool seeing someone just completely change their life even when it isn’t easy at all. It really builds my testimony knowing that this is the only true church on the earth today. Having this knowledge from the time I was born has been such a blessing in my life. 

It is now the second week into my second transfer here in Noblesville which I'm super stoked about staying here. This area is awesome! So many great people we get to interact with on a daily basis in this wonderful place. 

Well that's about all I got for now, but until next week, SEND IT FOR THE LORD
