Hey fam
I don't know how but I am now the longest serving Elder in the mission. Tomorrow we say good-bye to an excellent group of Elders that I'm very close to and look forward to seeing a few of them around Utah State canpus soon. Last night, we talked about all the good times and what the future holds. But for me, I'm ready to kick the dust out of these next six weeks. This week was great. We met an awesome guy who has been taught just about everything and we are just helping him overcome some old habits before his baptism. We are also teaching a great young guy who ended up practically team-teaching our gospel principles class with me on Sunday on repentance with it being just his second Sunday at church. We did have to spend two days in the flat with my sick companion which gave me a lot of time for studying and some personal inventory. I spent some time doing some honest evaluation of the past 22 and 1/2 months and looking at ways I've changed and some of the things I would have done differently. While I can say I still wish I could improve a lot more out here in the time I have left, I was able to see just how much I have been able to learn and luckily the path of improvement is still a long way from over. Plus, I was able to see examples in the scriptures where who we see as heroes still struggled under their weaknesses and mistakes but, like them,I have seen so much grace and mercy come from a patient, loving Heavenly Father.
In celebration of mission completions, we went out to Lusaka's finest Thai restaurant and I have to say their sweet and sour crispy duck was divine.
Love you all
Elder Lusk
