(Elder Cummings)
Howdy yall!
Sorry I missed last week, that's on me. We had to end pday early to make it to
a New Orleans celebration of the life of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. April 4 was
the anniversary of his assassination.
It was such
a cool experience. As missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints we were asked to have a small choir to sing some hymns between speeches.
It was a really neat experience. We got to meet the Mayor of New Orleans, the
Lt Governor of Louisiana, as well as one of the Louisiana State Congressman.
They spoke
of the justice and peace that Dr King lived and died for as well as the impact
he left behind. Then tied it into the life that Christ, the Prince of Peace,
lived. I love what President Russel M Nelson, the prophet of the world said
last weekend, "Brothers and sisters, the gospel of Jesus Christ has never
been needed more than it is today. Contention violates everything the Savior
stood for and taught. I love the Lord Jesus Christ and testify that His gospel
is the only enduring solution for peace. His gospel is a gospel of peace".
Let us be disciples of Christ and His peacemakers!
Have a blessed one
Elder Cummings
Oh also, my companion's name is Elder Wood and my nickname
has evolved from Elder Chummings to just Chum, so we have been called The
Woodchum. Don't know why but we love it.
