S8 E1: Welcome to Dingum Sprangs

 (Elder Cummings)

你們好!

This week was transfers, so in the process of all the missionaries involved going to their new areas meeting in Hammond, I was able to say bye to many of the 27 Elders going home this transfer whom I love and respect. The whole mission is different now, it's super whack.

Other than that, Denham Springs is really different than Alexandria. It's where the mission office and the mission home is like 20 minutes away. It's completely different than what I've had in the past too. Geographically speaking, the Alexandria area covers about the areas of 12 missionaries in this zone. It's a lot more cramped.

One awesome guy that we're teaching is named Bruce Wang. And he speaks Mandarin!! We meet with him about 4 times a week. Thanks to Bruce, I have been able to use and practice my Mandarin finally! Our first meeting, I realized two things. How much I lost in my speaking skills. And I realized I forgot how much I love Chinese. But he is such an amazing person. He was born in mainland China, never heard the name Jesus Christ until he came to the US and now knows that he can truly, truly, be a better person because of Him. I am on the front line witnessing the changing and shaping effect faith in Jesus Christ has on an individual. And it's awesome.
