大家好!
This week was tons of fun, let me get down to it...
On Wednesday we helped a lady with quality checking for a
bunch of her products for a business she's starting, afterwards we ended up
hauling a couple couches around too and got 16 frozen chicken breasts out of
it! We weren't doing all that for those but she wouldn't let us leave without
them.
On our way to a lesson we biked passed a guy on crutches
just trying to make his way on the sidewalk, so we stopped by and asked how we
could help, next thing I know I got a guy with a bum foot sitting on my handlebars
and I'm taking him down the terrible sidewalks of New Orleans. After taking him
a little ways he said he was good(don't know if that was cause we had gotten to
where he needed to go or cause his rear was hurting too much). We asked how
else we could help him and he wanted some seeds and cattle, the guy was trying
to start a farm. Unfortunately, we couldn't really help him with that so just
said to say hi to us guys in white shirts and ties if he ever sees us again.
Lastly, the video Elder Pratt and I are working on is
getting done! We recorded the audio and visuals for it and we're basically the
Piano Guys...but in a much more real sense, we are nothing like the Piano Guys.
But anyway, that required us to haul around two stand up electric pianos in the
back of our Equinox. These aren't just some keyboards, but full on stand ups
that we somehow got into our car. We lugged them around 3 different locations
in the West Bank and got some good videos, be watching for those on Facebook.
Other than that, church got cancelled again cause of another
gas leak, and again, we were there for a good portion of Saturday and we're
completely ok...for real mom, we're okay. I don't know how but we're good.
With all the crazies this week remember the counsel Helaman
gave to his sons Nephi and Lehi, during a time the world was much like ours,
filled with hate and violence and pride:
"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon
the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build
your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea,
his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall
beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of
misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a
sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot
fall."(Helaman 5:12)
His mighty storms are beating us alright, but they will have
NO power over us as long as we are built on Christ. Do the spiritual work
necessary to have your foundation built on Christ.
Elder Cummings
