Hey all!
This week was a whole lot of fun. We had zone conference in
Malmö so we got to travel there on Tuesday and spend some time with the other
missionaries in the zone. We don't really get to see each other often, so we
make the most of the opportunities we have to catch up.
As far as the work in Karlskrona
goes, it's starting to pick up! We've had a lot of people we've been trying to
meet with over the last 5 weeks but have had a hard time scheduling it all.
It's looking like the stars will align this week though! We're really excited.
We met a family on Saturday who had
been taught by the missionaries 12 years ago but decided to stop taking the
lessons. We met the father and mother and their daughter (who was in the womb
last time they met the missionaries) and were able to talk a little bit. They
invited us over again this week and want to start taking the lessons again!
It's very exciting.
Another fun success story,
Camilla--who Elder Cluff and I had the opportunity to teach and see baptized in
January--and Ståle got married last week! I'm so happy for them. They intend to
be sealed in the temple next year and I am looking forward to being able to be
with them then. They are incredible and I love them so much. I'm so grateful
the Lord allowed me to meet and spend so much time with the two of them.
This week I've been focusing my
scripture study on how the Spirit speaks to us and what the fruits of the
Spirit are. There is a very good activity on page 96 of Preach My Gospel that
gives a lot of good insight into how the Holy Ghost has a hand in our lives.
I've taken the time to reflect on and even write down a lot of the spiritual
experiences that I've had that I haven't written down or reflected on as a
cumulative whole. This week I've certainly strengthened my testimony of the
reality of the Holy Ghost--or the Comforter as Christ calls it in John 15:26. I
know the Spirit really is there and can speak to us if we are willing to drown
out all the other distracting voices and listen. I would encourage all of you
to take some time this week and reflect on how God has spoken to you through
His Spirit throughout your life.
Have a great week!
Love, Äldste Cummings
