Tjena!
This week has been wild.
We woke up on Monday at 2:30 AM to arrive in Sweden at 6:00
AM Tuesday (Sweden time). I couldn't fall asleep on the plane and we didn't get
to go to bed until 10:30 PM that night. So we had been up for 36 hours by the
time we finally got some rest.
I have been assigned to serve in Skövde with Elder
Martineau! It's a medium-sized college town near Göteborg. It's been pretty
great. We have been working pretty hard and have been very busy. The
congregation here is pretty small--around 30 members come to church on a good
day--but they're hardworking and we are too. Together, we make a good team.
Weird experience of the week: A schizophrenic lady with no
pants walked in on a lesson we were teaching and spent the next 15 minutes
talking about how much she wanted to bear the children of the man we were
teaching. I would explain more, but it would just make less sense.
I chose the verse above this week because it reminds me of
how important this work is. Sometimes, you can get dragged down in how
difficult it is and how often you get rejected or how tired you are, but the
Lord councils us to rejoice in it. I am here to do His work and there is no
greater call. I really could not be spending my time right now in a better way
and I am so excited to keep going at it for the next two years.
I love this work. I know Christ lives and is our Savior.
Love,
Äldste Cummings
