These past three weeks have been pretty epic, and as excited as I am to finally be getting to my assigned area there is a part of me that's sad to be leaving the MTC. It truly has a special spirit about it both because the amazing elders and sisters here and also the amazing teachers who helped me so much. It's also very sad to be saying goodbye to the amazing district I was so blessed with. But it's been a great first three weeks and I'm ready for the next 101. Indiana here I come!

Dear Brother and Sister Roberts,

We are so excited to welcome Elder Roberts to the Indiana Indianapolis Mission!  He arrived with twenty-three other missionaries this afternoon.  President Page and I welcomed him and took several pictures at the airport.  We then traveled to the Indianapolis Temple for pictures and continued on to the mission home. 

We are so excited to be able to have the missionaries in our home again!!  We enjoyed dinner, a short meeting and then President Page was able to spend some one on one time with Elder Roberts.  We are excited for this extra time to be able to get to know your son better.  

We already feel a great love for Elder Roberts and look forward to serving together.  We also feel the Lord's love for him and anticipate great things to come in this part of the Lord's vineyard.

Attached are a few pictures that we took with all of the new missionaries who arrived this afternoon.  We will send another email soon with a picture with us and a picture with his companion(s) as well as information about his assignment.   

We also have a Facebook Page for our mission. Hopefully, this link will take you to it: https://www.facebook.com/Indiana-Indianapolis-Mission-2019-2022-679685412445339/?modal=admin_todo_tour. Pictures of their arrival will hopefully be added soon!

We also want to make you aware of how we are handling COVID-19/Coronavirus.  Hopefully the increase in covid numbers here in Indiana will not change what we are already able to do.  For now, our missionaries are allowed to do pretty much everything they used to.  They are able to teach lessons in members and friends homes, church buildings as well as through technology.  They are allowed to have district meetings and daytime exchanges in person.  We also emphasize the importance of washing our hands thoroughly and continuing to be safe.  Our missionaries are able to approach people to share the gospel as well and to continue to use technology and social media to find and share gospel messages.  Our number one concern is that they stay safe and healthy.

Again, we are so excited to welcome Elder Roberts to the Indiana Indianapolis Mission!  

 

Warmly,

 

President and Sister Page
Mission President and Companion
Indiana Indianapolis Mission

First p day

Hey everyone well it's only been three days but it feels like a lot has happened in just those three days, I met my district and comp and they're all really awesome people! My companion is Elder Kennedy and he is super chill. I can't wait to meet everyone in person though when I go to the Provo MTC this Wednesday, because right now it still feels kind of weird being at home even though I've been set apart as a missionary, I don't know quite how to explain it but it feels very surreal. Monday it felt like I was almost dreaming, because I've been anxiously waiting for this day to finally come for like a long time and now that it's here it feels so weird.  I know God loves you all and that He can help us through any trials we're facing, he's helped me a lot adjusting to missionary life! I invite you all to read D&C 121: 7-8 because they are really awesome verses that have helped me a ton this week. Anyways love you all.  -Elder Roberts

 That's right folks, only four days left till I enter the field and I couldn't be more pumped. I am gonna miss my freaking awesome district though, no cap. but there's actually a few stories from this week so buckle up folks this email might be the longest one yet, a whole two paragraphs. Kickball: On Friday we played kickball with another district who was in our residency building just across the hall from us and it was tons of fun, but we lost miserably by like fifteen points. But I still had tons of fun. After the game the Elders from the district we played with came to give us a box of donuts to say sorry for absolutely destroying you, and in the box there was a single, solitary "L" shaped donut, it was a very well done prank. District scripture share: Saturday we got together as a district and shared our favorite scriptures and everyone shared really awesome scriptures that definitely made me feel the spirit. I shared D&C 122 5-8 and even...

 Well I guess there goes another week...crazy how fast time is flying. I left in August and now its almost Halloween...  Anyways things are going well I'd say. We did a lot of service and had a few miracles that were pretty chill but all in all a pretty good week! Here's the miracles from the week: Mondays lesson: So that lesson with the guy who came up to us in the park (seth) went pretty well. He had a ton of questions that I had no idea how to even begin to answer but Edler Cook was just like oh this is easy and answered every question and we have another lesson with him tonight so that's dope! Hopefully it keeps going well and keep sending those prayers!   Danville the place of many miracles: Ok so there were two pretty dope miracles that happened in Danville...First we were in a park (of course) and we were walking around and we saw this guy sitting on a bench, and let me tell you this man was the most yoked man I have ever seen. Like why would a man ever need t...
