Friends

Hi! New here with just a general question. Can an elder be friends with me (30f). I just joined this subreddit to ask this question because I met 2 elders yesterday and they’re super cool! I did, however, let them know I more than likely would not attend but invited them to continue coming to talk to me (about their mission and their beliefs) if they’d like. I just wanted to know if it’s ok for them to stay friends with me even though they know they won’t be able to “convert” me (for lack of a better word).

I’m sorry if this comes off as rude in any way, that’s not my intent at alllllll
