Transfers and Blessings

(Elder Cummings)
Hello all!

This week has been a blessing.  We have had so many great things happen in our lives and in the lives of our investigators.

We received a phone call from the assistants the other day checking to see how someone in our area is doing, Vicky.  We didn't know her, so we went by her address and met her.  Back when the elder who called us was serving here she had a baptismal date and had already been through all the lessons.  He left and she got offended by one of the missionaries who came in.  She has been more than happy to start studying again and is again working towards baptism.

A less active family in the Hmong branch just had two of their young nephews move in with them.  Both of them want to learn about Jesus Christ!  They have not been raised with any religion and have a great desire to learn!  This is helping the whole family come back to church!  What a tender mercy!  Over the last two years the weekly attendance in the branch has gone from high eighties to mid forties.  So many have moved out, but more are coming in!  The work is great!

Transfers are this week!  We were informed last night of where we are all heading.  It is different being more on the administrative side of transfers.  Elder Perkins and I will be staying together, still covering Merced 1st Ward and Merced 5th Branch.  We are doing great work and cannot come down!

Have a lovely week!  God is with you always!

With love,

Elder Cummings
