Hey Fam!
Once upon a time in the dead of hot season, two Elders were sent on a rigorous mission. Take a large area that has been left desolate for months, pour their sweat, blood, tears and prayers into it in hopes of a divine miracle in teaching repentance to its people. Who were these Elders? One, a brand new farm boy with a heart of gold and the drive that drove his ancestors across the plains. The other, a handsome, well tested veteran of many tough assignments throughout his extended tour of duty. They faced down the blazing African sun in defiance as they fearlessly and faithfully traveled the dusty roads, talking to all with their natural country boy charm, youthful joy and the unwavering strength of a lion in th efface of reveilers and challengers. Faithfully, on aching feet, they hit the roads before it happened. When the blessings of the their efforts showed. In one week they never sat but spent their days from sun up to dusk preaching and testifying. They taught more new people in one week than the veteran ever had before. Who were these people that they taught? Two brothers getting a new start at life, a women who had long given up on religion till a prayer that morning was answered with a knock at the gate, a dedicated grandfather full of love for all men, a new pastor seeking God's will, two Russians full of questions about America (yep, that happened) and a brother and his family long removed from the church due to living far in the bush. These Elders hit their knees late at the week's end thankful for the past days and hungry for more.
Oh, and my comp and I made homemade pizzas this week that were awesome.
Love you all
Elder Lusk
