Hebrews 12:9

(Aldste Cummings)
Hällå!

This week was great. Looking back on it, everything just feels like it was a blur. I can't even remember everything we did and when I can remember something, I don't know which day it was on. This whole week was wild.

We had our transfer-ly interviews with President Youngberg which was really good. He is so wise and very clearly inspired. The way he thinks and the logic he uses seems literally superhuman. The Lord definitely supports us in our callings and consecrates magnifies our efforts when we use them in His service.

We did tons of other fun things I promise but I can't remember anything.

We had a great lesson with the man I wrote about last week. We talked about how our love for God and understanding of our relationship to Him has filled our lives with so much happiness and meaning. He cut us off at one point and said, "I've never felt that. No one here even TALKS about that. How can I feel that?"

That was a little bit of an eye-opener. Having always been taught that God is my heavenly father has always given me a perspective on life that other's may not have even when I wasn't sure if I believed it or really felt it in my life. It's difficult to imagine what it must be like to not know that or have even heard that. This man expressed that his life had felt so empty and meaningless and he could recognize something in us that he had never felt. It was a testimony to me that God's love really is a living, edifying power in our lives. When we truly understand who He is and how we can strengthen our relationship to Him, it will change our lives forever.

Have a great week!

Love,
Äldste Cummings
