Hey Fam
Life is well here in Kitwe. We are experiencing a rare mid hot season rain so that is a welcome break from the heat.
We have a baptism planned this weekend for a young man we have been working with for about three months here and he's finally ready to enter the waters of baptism.
This week was a bit of a tough one where, despite all of our well laid plans, we had fall through after fall through with appointments and then we found out two of our golden investigators moved away , only one of our investigators came to church and it was hot all week.
In the middle of all that when I felt like we were working so hard with no results, I got a text from Sister Kupu asking me to write a piece for the mission newsletter on finding joy in the middle of trials. How's that for a wake up call on my attitude? It was one of those moments where I knew Heavenly Father knew what I needed. After that, I was able to start seeing the blessings including that we received two referrals from members of the church and have a dinner appointment set for this week.
On top of that, my companion who is brand new is molding into a powerful teacher and is great at bringing the Spirit of God in as we teach in a natural country charm way. So when life is getting you down, there is still plenty to be positive about. You just have to see it.
That's all I have for now but time is flying by here and without realizing it, I am among the old veterans in this mission which is coming with its own set of joys and stresses but all is well.
Love you all and enjoy the Fall weather.
Elder Lusk
