Kicking it into Overdrive: February 24, 2014

Dear Everyone,

  1. Is Apucarana cooler, temperature-wise, than Cascavel? I remember it got pretty cold in the winter when you were there. When I was in Cascavel it got to -4C, but here we are getting an unusually cold summer (YAY!!!!!). Everywhere else it is still hot but here it is nice and cool and rainy!!! (It is almost Seattle weather!!)
  2. Do you have a favorite “conversion story” from your mission so far? My favorite conversion story of the mission so far would have to be... D. a young man who I taught in Londrina that had such a hunger for the scriptures, he read the Gospel Principles book in 3 days and after hearing about the promise to be able to more easily learn another language if you read the Book of Mormon in a different language, asked us for a Book of Mormon in English and German. After his baptism he went by himself without us knowing to mark a temple recommend interview with the bishop to do baptisms for the dead. He is super cool.
Jason, I’m glad that your wisdom teeth experience was better than mine!!! That’s good!

As far as the package is concerned I will only know here in a month if it got here or not.

Way to go on the de-cluttering! I am glad the labels helped on the game cords, even I was getting confused, which is why I labeled them!!!!

Oh, by the way, some March Madness updates would be greatly appreciated when that starts up.)

So this week was a normal week, it was nice and chilly and it was a little bit slow as far as the work goes, but the members turned it up a notch and brought 3 people to church for us!!! FINALLY, MEMBER HELP!!! So that is good!

We had a "war counsel" with the missionary couple and the district leaders and we are also going to do a competition for the whole district to see which branch can bring to most friends to church and then baptize them!!! Being zone leader is cool because you are invited to all the cool meetings and stuff!!

We are kicking it into overdrive because March has 5 Sundays and so we are trying to break the mission monthly baptizing record and baptize 231 people this month (our own version of MARCH MADNESS)!!! So, please pray for us to be successful!!! That will be super cool. Unfortunately, we still haven´t baptized but we are going to do our best to baptize lots and lots of people this month (Elder B. and Elder B. baptized yesterday--the first baptism in Elder B.’s mission!!)

N., our investigator who is still not wanting to get baptized yet, is going to seminary, she is going to all the activities by herself, she never missed church and she will go to the GSY camping trip this weekend, so pray for her that it can be a super special experience for her and that she will want to be baptized after the trip!!!!



These are just some fun photo effects that Elder P. can do on his camera. 

And I think that is all...

love you guys!!
Elder Cummings
