Hey Fam!
We had a great week and I walked my feet off. We found a lot of new people to teach and Elder Mbile talks to just about everybody he sees and I have to work to keep up with him. We also have a baptism this week for a little boy from a part-member family. It was also a big week for the Matero ward as we got a new Bishop and counselors. We also had a small group visiting from Utah with a local charity organization so that was cool.
There was also a lot of weird moments this week but one was when the people in my area got the laugh of their lives when I bought a barbell to fix my spaghetti arms and was carrying it home and, man, did people get a good hoot and holler out of that.
I was reading a conference talk this week by Elder S Mark Palmer of the Seventy who I got to meet and learn from in Kitwe and is now area president. The talk was from April 2017 and it was all about how when the Savior was talking to the young rich an before he counseled hi to give all and follow him, how "then Jesus beholding him, loved him." He then talked about the fact that in order to help someone change, we must have the pure love of Christ to help them see that love is the motivating factor for the changes they need to make. Anyway, it's a great talk from a man that I respect greatly after getting to sit knee to knee with him and experience this from him first-hand as he counseled me and the other missionaries serving in Kitwe.
Love you all and keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers
Love, Elder Lusk
