Ferocious Finding

(Elder Cummings)
This week Elder Knapton and I have had the best week for finding investigators of my mission to date.  We found eight new investigators.  As we have been working together to strengthen our faith that the Lord will lead us to those He has prepared to receive the missionaries or He will lead them to us.  Both of those happened this week.

Last Monday night is a great example of a miracle.  The three appointments we had set all fell through, so in discussing what was the next best thing to do, the Spirit told us.  We were to go visit our Bishop's non-member father.  We did and that night he emphatically agreed to prepare himself to be baptized on February 6.

All week long things like this were happening!  I know that God directs this work.  Without His love and mercy no missionary ever could find, teach, or baptize.  It is so miraculous that God chooses the small and weak things of the earth to aide in bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

This Saturday we will be having a baptism for Pahoua Vang.  I am so excited for her!  Her family has been eating the gospel up.  She has asked me to be the one to baptize her.  I am so grateful to be blessed by to have this fantastic opportunity!  The gospel is true for everyone.  It blesses us all to know it better.

I hope you all have an amazing week and continue to find ways to build your faith in Christ!

With love,
Elder Jared Cummings
