Hej hej!
I forgot to update everyone last week about transfers! I'm
staying here in Skövde with Elder Cluff for the next five weeks. It's likely
that I'll leave here next transfer, however. I'll have been in this area for
just short of six months! One fourth of my mission in the amazing Skövde
branch. The little branch that could. It's been a great stund. I really love
the area and the members here, it'll be hard to say goodbye.
But anyway, this week has been pretty great. We've been
working hard and getting back into the swing of things after the holiday season
when no one really could meet us. We experienced a miracle this week! We were
contacting in stan (downtown) the morning after New Years day and no one was
out and everyone who was out didn't want to talk to us. We were complaining a
little bit about how ineffective it was to be proselyting right then. Then the
Lord chastised us for our murmuring. We were waiting for the bus back to the
apartment when a woman walked up to us randomly and asked if we knew a man and
his wife in our branch. We answered affirmatively, and she told us that she's
their daughter and had left the church ten years ago and wants to join the
church again. And this after her father just last week had told us how worried
he was about her.
To us, that experience was a reminder that the Lord is
always looking out for us, and when we work hard, the Lord will make our work
effective. That thought made me think of the scripture in the subject bar. That
scripture speaks specifically about prayer, but the part of it that stood out
to me this time around was the assurance that the Lord will "consecrate
thy performance unto you." When we show Him that He can trust us through
our faith and diligent work, then He will consecrate our performance and will
bless us with success.
Have a good week all!
Love,
Äldste Cummings
