Merry Christmas (almost)!
This week was pretty busy as usual. We traveled to Göteborg
on Monday to go to zone conference on Tuesday. We got to stay with the elders
in Västra Frölunda which meant that Elder Wolff and I got to have our own
little Morristown Ward reunion which is always a pleasure. Then, on Wednesday,
we stayed in Göteborg with the Zone leaders to do splits in Utby which was
super fun and we got back to Skövde on Wednesday night. So we had a ton of
stuff to do this week and we weren't even in our own area until Thursday
basically so that just made it a little busier trying to fit everything in.
We have an investigator named Camilla and she is amazing.
I've never met someone who is so prepared to receive the Gospel. She's a
Swedish woman in her thirties who lives alone in northern Skövde. We met her
for the first time when we knocked on her door three weeks ago and she is
already well on her way to making the covenant of baptism. Her enthusiasm is so
inspiring, she told us that she was going to get baptized even if it meant she
had to stay up all night reading the Book of Mormon every day. I'm so grateful
that the Lord led us to her so we can lead her to Him!
I probably won't send another email between now and
Christmas so I thought it appropriate to share a little message about
Christmas. I am so thankful for Jesus Christ and everything He has done for us.
Everything He ever did was done out of complete selflessness and love. News of
Him truly is "glad tidings of great joy." Because of Him and His
sacrifice, we can come back to our Heavenly Father and be redeemed from our
sins. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and we owe Him everything.
Enjoy the Christmas season as we celebrate the birth of our Savior!
Love,
Äldste Cummings
p.s. Here's a picture we took at zone conference. It was
combined with the Malmö zone so I got to see a ton of people in my group in the
MTC that I haven't seen since I actually got to Sweden. Super fun!
