(Elder Cummings)
So we have our boy Rich. Rich is awesome. About a month ago
the previous elders met him at Walmart. Next week, he gets covid and is
straight out of commission, it hit him really hard.
We've been keeping in contact with him because he wants to
attend church with us. We've been texting a lot because he hasn't been able to
muster the energy to have a real lesson and discussion yet. This week he is
finally healthy and feeling up to church. And he comes.
Afterwards, we asked how he liked it and he took us aside
and was like "Y'all have to understand. I grew up and was forced into
religion, and it left a bad taste in my mouth, but I never gave up on God. I
feel like He is still there. Coming here today, what I felt, this has been the
closest I have ever been to what I feel I need in my life. So thank you. I will
be coming back next week."
Mic. Drop. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he texted us
afterwards and was like "I plan on coming every week. And if y'all would
like, I would love to talk about the Book yall gave me. I'm gonna be reading it
shortly". So hype.
I know that there is room in the Lord's Inn for everyone.
His Kingdom is on the earth, and it is His Church, The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints.
God bless
