Hope everything is going well back home. Things up here in Layton are going
great. I'm still stoked to be here. I'm also stoked because on Friday we're
having a mission meeting where I'll not only be able to see the elders I served
with in Glendale, but we'll also receive trained from the man, the
legend, the Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
That's pretty exciting.
Our investigators are great! We got a guy to come to church for the second time
this week, and he stayed the full three hours. We've got plenty of support and
fellowship for him, so things are looking good. This week we're going to be
praying on a date for him to get baptized. We're pretty excited about what the
next couple weeks will be like for him. Most of our other work is with part
member families, so helping them do what they need to do to get all of them
baptized and then sealed in the temple. In terms of both dinners and miracles
it's been an awesome week. We get dinners provided every night except Monday
night up here in Layton. On Friday, one of our newly reactivated member we're
working with swung by our apartment with a giant trunk full of food. We have
enough a shelf and a half dedicated to oatmeal, and an entire shelf dedicated to
hot chocolate now. We've got enough ramen to feed a small army (ramen is super
good if you don't use the seasoning packets and put it Cajun seasoning
instead!), and everything we need for our own thanksgiving dinner except the
turkey. We've got so many canned foods that it looks like the shelf is about to
break. You know that scripture that we'll get blessings and won't have room to
receive them? It wasn't until; I've been on my mission that I realized it was
literal. The people out here are awesome. In terms of other miracle, we were
giving someone a blessing, and even though I wasn't the voice, I got a specific
prompting to bless her a certain thing, and a second after I got it, Elder () said it, so that's how much the spirit was there. It's really cool how
the spirit works.
I'll just close with my testimony that I know that this church is true and I
know that the gospel of Jesus Christ can bless everyone's life. The power of the
Atonement is real and it's becuase of it that I'm out here and it drives my
current work and it's driven me to come out in the first place.
Love,
Elder Lusk
