We have only found about 5
investigators last transfer. I've been at Ball State YSA for 6 weeks now, but school
hasn't been in session, and everyone is home for the summer and so the
campus is like ghost town. But next transfer will be super busy!!!!! The YSA covers the entire Muncie Indiana
stake, but each ward is about 45 minutes apart. The boundaries are HUGE.
so, we mainly just stay here around in Muncie. But people have
been slowly moving back for school and the institute is located on Frat
Row, so as soon as school starts, we can start meeting people during
rush week and everything. Do you remember the movie Sydney White? All
the sororities and fraternities were all located on one block? Yeah,
that's what it's like here. And then there's the institute. hahahaha. We
did meet this one guy who swims for the university's swim team, and he
actually rode his bike down to the institute to have a lesson with us a
couple of days later!!!! He is what we call "golden" or
"the elect", people who are honestly searching for truth will
all their hearts and will do anything to find it. So he's pretty cool. Super
buff.
The senior couple
that live at the institute, were invited to an Iraqi wedding a couple
nights ago, for a couple to whom they were helping teach English, and
are here studying abroad from Iraq. It was literally the coolest thing
ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The two getting
married are actually converted Christians so that is why she does not
wear something over her hair. I ate real authentic Iraqi food as the bride
catered it all herself. They are only here for 2 years studying at Ball State. Then
they go back to a free part of Iraq called Kurdistan. We had taken them
to the temple open house, and the husband still cannot speak English,
but he was saying to us with the biggest smile on his face, "Temple!
Temple!" He must have been really, really impressed with it. For
someone who cannot even say "hello" to go and then remember
the word "temple" is truly a testimony.
