Hello everybody!
I hope you all had a great week, because we sure did!
On Wednesday, I met my new companion and son, Elder Burns!
He's a stud from Connecticut, so we have the East Coast thing in common which
is super fun. He's a hard worker and loves learning the language and is already
making great progress with it! On the train ride down, he was able to bear his
testimony to potentially change the life of a man we sat with in the dining
car. The man very quickly recognized us as servants of the Lord and revealed to
us his most personal thoughts and feelings--feelings that he had never shared
with anyone else.
The man was especially touched by the fire in Elder Burns'
eyes and the strength of his spirit. He broke down in tears when he discovered
that they both shared the same name: Anthony. The man gave us his number and we
sent it along to the missionaries in his area where they will contact and try
to help him come yet closer to Christ. Way to go, Elder Burns!
This week, we were privileged to hear from the Lord's
Prophet, Apostles, and other ordained servants during the Church's semi-annual
General Conference. What and experience it was to listen to them speak and
receive the witness of the Spirit that this truly is the Lord's church and is
led by living prophets. I testify that President Nelson is a Prophet of God who
not only receives revelation for the Church, but also the entire world. I would
encourage each and every one of you to listen to and obey the counsel he
reveals from the Lord. After all, "surely the LORD GOD will do nothing,
but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets"(Amos 3:7).
Have a great week!
Love,
Äldste Cummings
