Post-Skype Letter: May 12, 2014

Dear Everyone,

There is a corn field close to our house and they harvested the corn this week, so that night we went to pick up the corn that was left over and we got a lot of corn, but upon our return to our house we found out that all the corn was bad, it was the type of corn they use for animal feed, so it was already dry and hard and not suitable for eating. L 

That’s about all that I have to say after our Skype date yesterday. I kind of said everything already. 

See you guys later! J

Lots of love,

Elder Cummings

P.S. My opinion as to whether to get me a car in Washington or in Utah, is the sooner the better!!! J

We did have a wonderful Skype with Elder Cummings on Mother’s Day, our last Skype until he comes home. Because it is his birthday later this week (May 15), he had a little birthday gathering with some other missionaries at the home of the members where they were able to Skype. I love that the members take care of the missionaries in Brazil just like we try to do for our missionaries here! Happy 21st Birthday, Elder Cummings!!

Short but Sweet: May 13, 2013

Dear Everyone,

It was so good to see you guys on Skype yesterday!! Because of that, though, I don’t have much to write today.

This week, we got to do a division (splits) with our district leader, the thing is though that he lives in a city called Palotina which is 2 hours away by bus, so we traded off when they traveled here to do the district meeting like they do every week. I stayed here in my area with Elder B., a greenie American. It was really good to take the lead and be forced to talk with everyone, not having the option to hide behind the senior/Brasilian companion. When we went to trade back the next day, we had to get up at 4:30 a.m. (ugh) and we traveled to Palotina where I picked up Elder M. and then we turned right around to come back, so I got to look at corn fields for 4 hours on dirt roads on what was basically a city bus, so it was bumpy and uncomfortable. but I really liked it!! I like traveling and don’t mind anymore about not being comfortable. It was really, really fun!!

Our state-of-the-art-heater where you just shove the wires into the socket!!

The graffiti says, “Die, devil!”

Like I said, short! That’s about it for the week that I didn’t share in the Skype. I am much more energized and ready to work super hard this week!! Pray for baptisms please!! We have some good possibilities, but we are definitely going to need some help from up above!! (Those 2 new Facebook friends are friends that a member brought to church to visit. We are going to do a FHE with them this week and try to baptize them this week or the next, but I hope this week!!!)

Lots of love!!

com amor,

Elder Cummings!!
