Set Apart

Tonight, Eldon was officially set apart as a missionary by our stake president, Greg Mackay.  Eldon was counseled to focus on the joy of bringing others to the gospel as the main reason he is serving.  In the blessing he received as he was set apart, he was blessed to be able to share the joy of the gospel through his smile and his inviting personality as well as his testimony, that people will see him and want to know why he is so happy.  He was also promised safety as he followed the mission rules with precision.  Precision.  I liked that word.


Return with honor, Elder Cummings!  We love you!!

Temple Day

Today, Eldon went to the Seattle Temple to receive his own endowment.  When we went in to the temple, it was cold, dark, and rainy, but when we emerged it was sunny and the skies were virtually clear.  Talk about the perfect metaphor for what happens inside that sacred building!
