Random Acts, Paul's Testimony and Heavenly Milkshakes

Hey fam
This week we celebrated with Elder Jeronimo as he prepares to return home after two years. There was much rejoicing but also sad seeing such a great missionary and friend depart.
We made it a goal this week to look for random unplanned acts of service as we worked throughout the day. So, we sat and washed clothes with some grandmas, helped an investigator cook, played soccer with some random kids and swept somebody's house for them. Little things like that may not have made a big difference in the big scope of things but on the personal level we saw how happy it made the people and they also brightened up my week as I served like the Savior.
I also got to teach gospel principles in sunday school and between the two sets of missionaries, we had nine investigators there which was great.
In my study, I had just read about th apostle, Paul, in his defense before King Agrippa and how, despite opposition, he stood firm and testified of the truth he knew. I have had a number of experiences like that here and one more even came this week after I had studied that and with each time the Spirit gave me power to personally testify of what I know to be true. Each of those experiences has really solidified my faith in this work and I'm grateful for them.
On a lighter note, I finally found a great milkshake here. Maybe it's just been too long but it was pretty Heavenly.
Love you all!
Elder Lusk
