Hey fam
Our sweet sister was baptized on Christmas Eve and it was a beautiful service. Elder Robins got to be the baptizer for the first time and we got to enjoy our gift to the Savior of seeing her get baptized.
The day before Christmas Eve, we went out caroling and delivering popcorn to some of our members. Since that is definitely something new here, we got a lot of strange looks and curious drunks. It started out super fun but then we ended up walking about 7 miles and we got home exhausted but still fulfilled spiritually for spreading Christmas cheer and making a new Christmas memory. When we got home, we made a huge batch of French Toast.
This past week, we met a guy named Eric on the street and it turns out he's been taught in the past but lost contact with the church and is now attending the university here in Kitwe and he is very ready to be baptized soon. We also met these three teenagers who are super awesome and learning very fast. We're hoping to get them out to church soon. We also met a friend of our branch president who is a white guy from Zimbabwe who's kind of an old washed up hippy but he said he would like us to come back and see him so we'll see.
On Friday, Elder Day (my former companion for 4 months in Blantyre) was touring the mission with his mom on his final week and they came and took us out for lunch. Really good to see him again and relive all our fun, crazy moments as companions. He also told me that the doctor that we baptized in May is now teaching in Sunday School (gospel Principles) and is leading out in home teaching.
Then on Saturday, our branch held an activity and we had a big BBQ and we taught the members how to play badminton as we had found a set in our flat and broke it out. It was a ton of fun and our members brought a lot of friends with them.
Transfers are at the end of this week so we'll see what president Kupu has in mind for Kitwe district.
Love you all and may 2018 be an awesome year!
Love Elder Lusk
