(Elder Cummings)
So throughout my mission I've had the opportunity to live
with Spanish Elders for the majority of the time. Because of that, I've picked
up some spanish here and there. I've also had the pleasure of going on
exchanges with Spanish Elders. I always felt so useless on these exchanges
though because I could never support them cause I didn't know how to speak
Spanish.
This time I was determined to make it different. I learned
enough to get me by and talk with some people and then I would leave the rest
to Elder Chandler, who is basically fluent. We were determined to see miracles.
So what ended up happening is we would run, literally run if
we needed to, up to every Hispanic person we saw and would just start talking
with them. We did not leave any of them alone lol. It was so so awesome. I
loved it so much. We ended up talking to probably about 50+ Hispanic people
that day. We met so many elect people.
I have a testimony that being normal and natural does not
mean being comfortable. Maybe running up to them was not the most natural, but
all the people we talked to didn't mind. I'm sure my Spanish was no good, but
they somehow understood me and I somehow understood them.
I love the Lord and I love this Work. It IS His and no one
else's. I'm just happy to be able to be a part of it.
Have a blessed one
Elder Cummings
