CONFUSED



This is Talea with Linda Davis, her primary president back in Oregon.












 This is our neighbor from back in Oregon. Her name is Judy Nickolaus, and she's a realtor. She is not LDS and does not go to church with us, though her sister is and does.


 
Talea thinks Linda Davis and Judy Nickolaus are one and the same person. She is stubbornly convinced of this, no matter how many times we try to tell her otherwise. She calls Sister Davis "Judy." Not even Linda herself can get Talea to believe that she is indeed Linda, not Judy. Talea continues to call her Judy.

We have battled and battled with her over their identities countless times. No matter how much we point out their differences, she remains convinced that they are the same person. We've even taken her to the ladies individually to show her they are different, and had them identify themselves, but in her eyes, they look identical and she won't believe them. She won't believe us either.

Okay, so I'll concede that they do look a little similar. They have similar builds and they both have short hair. But Linda's not even 5' tall, and Judy is at least 5'5". One wears glasses, one doesn't. One has gray hair, one has blondish hair.

On our way to church, we would always pass Judy's church, and we'd point out that Judy was there, but Talea would never believe us.

So today, I showed her these pictures, and now that she's been away from these ladies for a while, she actually has finally admitted that they are different people. IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!
