Hey Fam!
Somehow it's June!
We had a pretty good week. We started off with a combined zone conference on Tuesday and the area doctor visited and put the fear of God (and Malaria) into us. Then Sister Kupu gave an awesome lesson on the counter the scriptural plaque of the pride cycle by teaching the gratitude cycle. Whereas pride leads to disobedience, hate and ultimately destruction, the gratitude cycle focuses on thanksgiving for blessings, consecrated sacrifice, and ultimately lasting conversion. Very powerful. Then our new Tongan-American senior couple, the Fakalaka's made an epic feast for lunch...always appreciated.
The rest of the week went well. We are happy to be holding a baptism this weekend. Our courageous sister is ready to be baptized and I couldn't be happier for her. She has truly been changing as we have taught her.
We also had a great experience with another investigator who is learning so fast and we are hoping to get him out to church this week.
An awesome member family brought their cousin to church yesterday so we got to pick up a great, new investigator through their faithful efforts.
For fun this week, there is an awesome family that has all four missionaries in our ward over for dinner every Saturday night and they always make the best food and treat us well. The dad had served in this mission several years back and then came back from Burundi to get married and they stuck around. Anyway, he had a birthday so we brought over pizzas and feasted with them and yes, we did dump water on him.
I was also reviewing an old talk I believe from Oct 2012 where Elder Holland talks about the Savior's post-Resurrection interview by the sea with Peter where he kinda kicks his butt in gear again after Peter and the others just went back to fishing instead of carrying on the work. Over the past 22 months, I feel like I've come to know Peter pretty well because I feel, at times, I can be a little like him in his passionate, impulsive weaknesses. Great talk if you get a chance to see it again.
Love you all and keep the home fires burning for me.
Love Elder Lusk
