Hey fam!
Fast, crazy week but it ended with a baptism so that was good. We ended up walking way out to the far end of the area trying to locate a referral and it turns out we were going the complete opposite direction and spent two hours going in circles. I also got a hair cut from a guy that didn't speak a lick of Engish and so that was an interesting exercise in trust and hand signals .Luckily, I escaped mostly unharmed and still somewhat presentable.
So, for the baptism. First of all, I woke up Saturday morning feeling pretty sick but I was like, "hey, its a baptism so I can't stay in." Then we got to church an hour before for a meeting just to realize that the baptismal font had not been set up yet so we got to work cleaning it out and filling it but water pressure was awful so we had to start a bucket brigade to fill it. An hour and a half after we started, it was only about two feel deep and we couldn't wait so the poor kid was baptized in two feet of water....good thing he was short. After that, we had a lunch appointment that we were supposed to go to with our zone leader. I wasn't feeling food at all but such occasions are rare plus I wasn't going to be that guy to deny it to my companion so we get there and there's a mountain of food waiting for each of us. The whole time, I was just hoping to keep it down and not offend the family (the food was great but I was way sick). We finally got home and I spent a few hours on my death bed till I finally broke a five and a half year streak and threw up and then strangely felt better after that. I woke up feeling somewhat better and was able to go to church, which was great. I even went running again this morning
This week, we're excited to have a wonderful lady that we are teaching who had come to church twice in a row and now is getting great help from her neighbor who is a member of the Church and has been active in all our lessons so we are planning to baptize her in a few weeks.
Love you all. Hugs from Elder Lusk
