Hey fam
We had a super successful week here! To start, we had a wonderful baptism on Saturday which was a sweet experience all involved. Our dear sister has overcome so much and I saw a look of pure joy on her face afterwards despite the fact that now cold season is in full swing and the water in the outdoor font was a balmy 67 degrees.
Along with the baptism, the week was very productive. We had been struggling a bit the last two weeks but we had six people come to church and found a lot of new investigators. It was way awesome. We were totally lead this week to just happen to be in the right place at the right time to meet some great people. One of the guys lives just next to the church and just came from western provence looking for work and, ironically, a church, too. Then we were walking one day and saw two women and some kids moving some bricks and we jumped in and now have a nice family we are teaching. It's really awesome to see things picking up here. We have another two baptisms lined up in the next few weeks for some truly golden investigators like the kind you go on your mission to teach.
On Sunday, I got to teach gospel principles again and we had a few surprise guests also. We got joined by a group of 9 Americans working with Mothers Without Borders which is located close to Matero and it turns out they are the first of a few groups coming out in the next two months. A little more pressure was on me to teach, at that point, but the lesson went over great.
So, a member of our ward coaches a soccer team that plays at the Olympic park by our place and so on Saturday nights we like to go support but the other night was freezing (yes, it does get cold here). The temperature read 47 degrees with wind. Luckily, I grabbed my sweater and we ran over to the mall and found some over-priced hot chocolate to get us through. So, yeah, it was a great week.
Time is flying by here.
Love you all
Elder Lusk
