Hey fam
We had a pretty good week here in Kitwe. Funny story. The Kupu's (our mission president and his wife) were coming around for flat inspections on Wednesday just before zone conference on Thursday. In their effort to find the flat, they got lost and after about ten phone calls of me leading them all over Kitwe in the dark, I finally just told them to stay put and Elder Robins and I took off to get them. Picture this: Its pitch black outside and you have two young white guys in white shirts and ties sprinting through the dark with a flashlight. Yep, by the time we found the Kupus we had sprinted about 1.5 miles in just under 10 minutes (feeling proud about that feat in my current lack of conditioning).
We had a great zone conference and President Kupu says he's pleased with my efforts as a district leader.
Then on Friday, we went on splits with the assistants and that meant we got to work with one of my favorite missionaries, Elder Chartier. He was my zone leader back in Lilongwe and he's just a blast to be around and the boldest teacher I've met. We had some great contacts with him including a man that had been taught before but felt like God had abandoned him to which we said that the fact that two missionaries were standing in front of him shows that God still cares for him.
For me, I had a new insight when we were teaching the Plan of Salvation to a man the other day and he asked if there was such a thing as spiritual resurrection and then it came to me that repentance is the spiritual resurrection that comes through Christ's atonement. So that was a special moment for me when, as a teacher, I was taught.
Finally, we found an amazing soft serve ice-cream stand just by our flat!
Love you all!
Elder Lusk
