It starts with a boy saying a prayer, followed with the
filling in of an application and then the sending of said application off to
Utah to receive weeks later a reply with where the mentioned boy will be
spending the next two years of his life.
Thats right everyone! Jared Cummings my beloved younger
brother, the second of us Cummings clan of New Jersey, received his mission
call! He will be leaving July 8th to serve his mission in Fresno, California
speaking Hmong!
Sorry for the quite dramatic and doomsday declaring subject
title I just had to take the wonderful opportunity to make yet another joke
using our family name. I just love doing that so much! I am sorry if that is
one of my many short-Cummings. Bu dum chh!
Anyways now that I have gotten my wiggles out I just have
take a moment and marvel at the way the lord works. But more exactly how simply
the Lord works. He loves us. Which is a truth all principles are based on. And
because of this simplicity Sister Blanc and I were able to teach a woman, in
Swahili.
Thats right. Swahili. As in Africa.
Here in Lemoyne we teach many immigrants who come from many
different countries in Africa who have been driven to Canada from the various
wars and turmoils of the region. These immigrants don't always speak French but
have a desire to learn of the things we teach of. After saying many prayers as
to how we could help these people we found a preach my gospel that had been
lying in our apartment gathering dust for more than two years. Through studying
it and comparing it to the english one. We were able to teach a woman in her
native language.
I know that the Gift of Tongues is given to missionaries as
I have seen it almost everyday out here trying to learn French. I know this
church is true and that God loves us and answers our prayers. I say these
things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
Mungu Awabaliki, May God bless you
Sister Cummings
