Elder Samuel G Roberts Mission to Indiana Indianapolis 8/2021-8/2023

  So I guess this is it   my last pday and my last weekly email, if you've made it this far and have still read every word you're a real one! The last two years have flown by so fast and it's hard to believe that it's coming to a close, it honestly still doesn't feel real so Imma stay in denial for a little bit longer. Here's some final updates about the area and them a last testimony UPDATES: Nicholas: he's awesome he came to church yesterday and he's talked to his mom and hopefully he'll have a date soon. Please keep praying for Nicholas! Honestly he's the only one worth mentioning. Over the last few weeks slowly but surely pretty much everyone we were teaching has slowly either dropped us or ghosted us so that's cool. Also just so you all know Elder Hirschi is going to be training so in the words of Elder Stevens I'm no longer a failing father and instead I'm a grandpa   I'm excited for Elder Hirschi and know he's going to

  Ok I'm sorry but I just have no motivation to do this so just know I'm not dead. Things are good. See you all in about a week

Here's some cool things Alma 52: We got a referral this week from a guy named Nicholas and we met with him Saturday!

  Hello everyone! Hope you're all doing well! This week has been awesome and so unbelievably tiring   Elder Hirschi is pretty cool! He's super ready to work real hard and we've been absolutely grinding.   Here's some stuff tho! TMOTLS/MIRACLES: 76 doors later....: On Saturday we tracted for almost 4 hours straight and very few people answered or showed any intrest which was kind of a bummer but as the name implies on the 77th door we met a lady named Rhonda who said she'd be very intrested! So we got her number and set up a time to come back and it was pretty epic! Please add her to your prayers! UPDATES: David: he's still coming to church and loving it. He's learning slowly but surely! He's pretty cool! The Housers: They're as dope as ever!  That's all for this week! Love you all and remember to keep fighting the good fight! If there's anything I can do for you please let me know!  -Elder Roberts 

   Ok so the only thing that happened between Friday and now is we got transfer calls on Saturday and sad news, Elder Stevens is leaving   he's going back to his childhood home of Kendallville and I will be staying here in Fort Wayne so we'll be in the same distict  . I'm going to be training again and so we'll see how it goes! It'll be a good way to end off the ol' missh. Love you all! Keep fighting the good fight!   

  Hello everyone it's been almost two weeks sense my last email and that's because we're going to the Temple today!   so this could be a little bit of a longer email but here you go  TMOTLS/MIRACLES: The Finding Grind: The past two weeks have been filled with Finding and it's been legendary! We've found a lot of people and it's just been so awesome! So many people are saying yes and it's been supa dope! The Buc-ee Duckee (pictures included): This one is kinda nuts so buckle up. So it was kinda a tougher day and we were biking back home after a not so great tracting session and we stopped at a cross walk and I saw a little rubber ducky on the side of the road we were on and I said "wow, a rubber ducky" and Elder Stevens went and walked over to it and picked it up and well you guessed it, it was a rubber Buc-ee duckee it was crazy! To add to the craziness the nearest Buc-ee's is in Kentucky about 241 miles away. Also if you don't know what Bu

  Hello everyone! I'm sure you've all heard the rumors and yes they are true, me and Elder Stevens are companions here in the Fort. Its been a legendary two days so here it is  MIRACLES/TMOTLS: 2 Years Later: Ok so it's been almost exactly two years sense I opened my mission call and discovered me and Elder Stevens were going to the same place and now two years later we're companions! Super huge tender Mercy to (hopefully) end my mission with Elder Stevens! The Find Grind: Ok so me and Elder Stevens have been on that find grind and holy smokes literally every door we've knocked has said they are intrested....like every door. It's been crazy but super awesome so the find grind is real!! UPDATES: Eric and Sharon: They're so dope! Their Baptism is this Sunday and we're super excited for them!! Please keep them in your prayers! David: he's a legend, still coming to church and loving it! Keep him in your prayers as well please!  SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: Watch t
