Hey fam
Well, it was officially the hottest week of the year here. When it's that hot, there's really nothing you can do about it besides just suffer through till the sun starts to go down and cool the place off.
The week was full of dropped lessons and lots of walking. The week wasn't all bad, though. We were well fed and had two very large dinner appointments and another three scheduled this week. We did get to meet a lot of new people this week and after weeks of that, Elder Robins and I are completely fluent teaching together. Apart from that, its been the same struggle to get people to keep their commitments and come to church. At times, it is frustrating and you want them there because you know it will be good for them and other times I feel like "what am I doing wrong here? nobody seems to be taking our teaching seriously". All of it has been one big test of character and patience but I'm happy to say I'm not going too crazy. With about 15 months of this , I've learned that God's timing and His perspective is much better than mine. Plus, having a great companion who can laugh things off is a great help.
Things are great here anyway. The rain and cool weather are only a few weeks away and hopefully we can continue to get more people progressing towards baptism soon.
Last night we made a ton of homemade pizzas and ourselves stupid and then watched "Testaments". On an interesting note, our mission just got a little bigger by "adopting" 25 missionaries that just got reassigned from Madagascar due to the plaque over in Madagascar right now. So far, I have not heard if my district will get any of these elders or sisters, but we will wait and see.
Love you with all of my heart.
Elder Lusk
