Hey fam! Another week down and somehow I've already been here 16 months.
We had a good week. We're teaching an amazing lady right now that the zone leaders referred to us. She lives far away and we have to take two buses to see her and we ended up getting lost in the rain for about 30 minutes and had to get some drunk guys to guide us that included crossing a super flooded stream using sandbags as a makeshift country bridge. She's worth it, though, and we will baptize her on Christmas eve.
We also got to help our awesome neighbor paint his ceiling and then he fed us a big goat dinner.
We also had a good number of great new investigators this week that we are excited about. Also the professor we are teaching came to church and brought his Chinese client who is only 27 but managing the construction of the new copperbelt international airport. The professor even shared a powerful testimony of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
The other evening we were walking past the Catholic church in our area and I was like, "well, we've passed this place every day for months without talking to anyone so we walked in and got to sit down and talk with Father Matthews in his office for 20 minutes discussing missionary work and swapping stories from preaching. He was a super nice man and, for me, it was a very cool experience getting to interact at the same level as this man who devoted his whole life to his church.
We also started playing soccer here on Mondays with other members of the church. Last week, we played members of the church versus missionaries and they were all thinking they could school a bunch of white boys but, long story short, we destroyed them 8-3.Lesson: don't mess with the men of the mighty Kitwe district.
This week, we have our zone conference/mission tour with Elder Hamilton whos the president of the Africa Southeast area so that should be another great experience learning from a general authority.
Love you all so much! Merry Christmas
Elder Lusk
