Hey everyone!
Sorry, it's probably a little weird that I'm sending this
late but we had to do some regular missionary things on P-day and didn't get
enough time to email so had to move around the time a little.
Anyway, we had a great week. It went by so fast I can't even
remember everything. It's all going by like a blur. It's crazy.
It's just as well that I can't remember everything because I
don't have a lot of time to write anyway, but basically, it's been a great week
and I love Västra Frölunda! This place is amazing.
We had a cool experience where we came back to swing-by a
young guy who seemed rather lukewarm concerning our message at first but said
we could come back. We started talking to him at the door again and learned
that he does a some sleight of hand tricks. We, of course, asked him to show us
and it was pretty cool. We started talking about what he was studying in school
and he invited us in to check out some of his latin textbooks and we got talking
about my interest in studying artificial intelligence in college and he asked
about how I rationalize it with my faith and I gave my personal feelings about
how my love for science supports my faith. He thought it was super cool. He
shared how he had his own preconceptions of missionaries as fundamentalists who
don't support anything other than what is said in the Bible and he thought it
was really inspiring that I could also have such a passion for something that
apparently seems contradictory to some. We're coming back to teach him for real
on Friday!
We all have gifts that will touch people in different ways.
There are people in your path that you can uniquely help. However, it may
require that you bring your talents to bear and be willing to make yourself a
tool in the Lord's hands. Give yourself to Him, and He will lead you those who
need the spiritual gifts only you have.
Have a great week!
Love,
Äldste Cummings
