Howdy yall, this week was pretty good but man I am exhausted. Felt a little overworked in some areas but grateful to the Lord for strengthing me because there is no way I could've gotten through it on my own. And my amazing companion helped a lot too and he is growing so much and I am so proud of him ❤️ 

This week started out a little rough too because in the middle of P-Day I started feeling weird. Turns out I was dehydrated and so worked on getting hydrated for a few days. Which meant no “power drinks” as the mission nurse calls them lol. Man she really hates them lol 😆  Totally makes sense though cause I had a Monster and Mtn Dew and within an hour felt like cramp and then realized I hadn't dranken much water over the weekend. Got these good little salt tablet things that were great and helped a lot!! 

This week my parents were also so awesome and ordered me a new suit which is freaking awesome. So breathable and lightweight which is good for Texas. Also my Mom sent me a great package that made me really happy. Loved seeing cards from all my family in it 😁

This week we also had Zone Conference and to be honest I was bored. But I did get one big key takeaway about the mission goal to help bring 333 souls to baptism before the end of the year. And it's this little graphic President Bramwell made with AI (lol) of the goal on the top of a mountain with steps leading up to it. And lately I've been disappointed because we didn't really have anyone to put on date and finding has been tough. But then I realized if I want steps 3 and 4 to happen. I need to do steps 1 and 2 FIRST!! Duh. Those are simply to do this little prayer at 7:33am and unite our with to see miracles. And I'll be honest I don't typically like praying at a certain time but I was like okay probably should do that. And then guess what!! We had two awesome miracles!!

1. We found the sweetest old lady ever lol. I don't normally wave at people while driving past but saw her on her porch of this house I had been inspired to go visit after looking at our map. And she had the biggest smile and ran towards the car waving. The spirit was like turn around!! So we drove back and asked to say a prayer. She recently lost her husband who she loved so much. We bore testimony that she will see him again because of the resurrection. The spirit was so strong and we felt a powerful connection. We set up to go visit her again on Saturday and when we did so she came out of her house with little heart stickers and said she wanted us to remember her because we touched her heart ❤️ We then gave her a Book of Mormon and she was so happy we gave her one she asked us to sign it. So tender! Because she is a single woman who lives alone we had to pass her off to the sisters but I know that was an interaction that will matter after this life. 

2. Our new friend Jean – is a survivor of the Rwandan genocide in which he lost his whole family. He shared his story with us which was very powerful and sensitive but we felt a lot of charity for him. He is a really sweet and kind man who is looking to change some things about his life and so we taught him about baptism and put him on date for October 10, 2026!! Pray for Jean!! 

Well I suppose thats all for this week. We are heading into the last week of the transfer and so I am hoping that I get to do one more transfer with Elder Thunell. But we are excited for this week together!! 

With Love, 

Elder Noble
