Welcome to the Flat, More Manpower, Stepping Up as a Leader and The Power of the Atonement to Forgive

Hey Fam
Crazy busy week here. We got four new missionaries here in Kitwe from Madagascar and I've put them to work. It's been busy trying to split the area, show them around, and get used to new people living in our flat. They're good Elders, though, and it will be a welcome addition here and hopefully we can be much more effective in the work now that we have an ample amount of manpower to cover all our areas. Its kind of been a call to me to step up as the leader here and take a bit of charge with the new change.
We had a lot of lessons this week and were blessed with three people attending church. We actually spent an afternoon contacting people at our mall for a change to try to get more investigators. A bit of a new experience for our Madagascar elders who had not seen an mall in months.
I had a special experience this week as I interviewed a lady for baptism. As I spoke with her, I had a very real witness of the power of the Savior's atonement to forgive us of all our mistakes. I could feel her sincere desire to follow the Savior and, after consulting with President, it was a blessing getting to tell her that she could be baptized. It was a sight, that, if nothing else, would make my service here well worth it.
Love you all
Elder Lusk
