Hey fam, another great week in the books. I am still here in Kitwe. My "new" companion is my old buddy, Elder Tidwell. Our missions are kind of destined to be intertwined. He was in my very first district (he's one transfer ahead of me) and we got to be young greenies together and spent our first Christmas on our mission together in a tripanionship. Then fast forward a few months and we were in the same district in Blantyre as more experienced middle aged missionaries. Now, as we begin the fourth quarter, we get to be old veterans together. We've had a fun week and have taught some super powerful lessons together.
The first guy we met with, we just found and he is a direct answer to the daily prayers that people who are prepared to hear the gospel will be placed in our path. He's very educated and has traveled a lot but is so humble and open to the Spirit. He was very engaged as we taught him and he had some great questions.
We are also teaching three kids ages 18, 15 and 8. They are awesome and came to church with us this week. It's about a 30 minute walk to church and the 8 year old was struggling due to the heat (it hasn't rained in about a week) so she ended up getting passed around on people's backs fro the remainder of the walk but ended up loving Primary and so it was worth it.
We also got to do some service with one of our investigators that will be baptized soon. We walked in and they had just received a big truck load of sand for making cement and so the three of us cleared a 8x12 trailer of sand in about 5 minutes.
Everything else is good here. Our district is doing well. We have a good strong group of experienced elders here and the work is moving forward at an increasing rate.
The sun is still way too hot, the drunks still love harassing us, the gospel is still true and I still love you!
Elder Lusk
