Hey fam
I am now on the last week of my mission. More on that later. We had a fun week. We are now living with four elders in a tiny little flat which is a mixture of craziness and laughs but I think Heavenly Father understands because he is the one who sends out 18-20somethings to do his work.
We have a baptism this coming Saturday for one of the strongest sisters I have met out here. She's a widow who is super spiritually in tune. One of my first converts is now a Relief Society president and this one may join those ranks soon. Also, special because it will be my last baptism on my mission.
We had a ward BBQ on Saturday. At one point, I was sitting on the tailgate tossing aootball with another missionary while chicken was grilling, the sun was shining and it was pretty close to a perfect moment.
Now to some of my thoughts on finishing in a week:
I wasn't sure I'd make it here at times. It has been the hardest the hardest thing I've ever done in my life next to none. That being said, It has been the most fulfilling despite the frustrations. I know I've changed a lot and honestly its a lot like how I felt before I left where I was so ready to go start the next adventure but at the same time was terrified to find myself on the other side of the world doing all new things. I've come to love Africa and really understand people and who they are. I've found out that cultures change but people don't all that much. People still think and act the same no matter where you go.
Big shout out to all the congregations where I have served..Presidential Way (Lilongwe), Lilongwe, Blantyre 2nd, Kitwe and Matero. Also to all the companions who put up with me...Ketchum, Almedia, Chawaguta, Kigonya, Day, Jonah, Robins, Tidwell, Mbile and Burnard.Good Work boys! Its been a pleasure. Can't wait to see you on the other side!
Love Elder Lusk
