Because A General Authority Told Me Too....


Hey dad!
Transfers are tomorrow, It is off because the MTC needs them out before Wednesday, which is the normal transfers. We will find out later tonight if we are moved and what exactly is happening, all we know as of now is that the MTC has 150 visa waiters that they have no idea what to do with, so each zone leader companionship will also be getting a visa waiter, so if i stay as a zone leader, than I will be training a new missionary all at the same time, I am excited about that! It is going to be a lot of work that is for sure but it will be fun. I think the visa waiters are going to turn out as really really good missionaries I am jealous that you are getting Elder Bednar, he is one of my favorites to listen to. I have learned that they all carry the exact same authority and there is no difference between any of them. That will be a great experience! . Anyways thanks for all that you do for me dad!
Love your son

Hey momma!!!!
  Something very cool happened to me this week and I want you to share this with dad because a general authority told me to :) We had a mission tour and Elder Arnold of the first quorum of the seventy came and talked about how we can do better as missionaries and how we can hasten the work. And he asked to interview all of the zone leaders, so I got my own personal interview with a general authority and guess what he said? "Elder Summers, tell me about your family, are they members? active? born in the church, tell me how you got here today." So I answered that I was born and raised by great parents who were not always active, but got married in the temple before having children. Active ever since. He than asked how was my home life and how centered on the gospel it was, so I told him about Amanda and how she is the glue that holds our family to the church and that I was taught my entire life how I can live to be with my family forever. He was eating his lunch as we talked and when I said that he stopped eating and leaned forwards and said I want you to write your mom and your dad and tell them that you were interviewed by me and I am thankful that your parents raised you how they did. I want you to thank them for their faithful service and sending you on a mission. He then said when you walked in that door there was a very strong spirit that entered with you. Thank you and thank your parents for me. Then after the mission tour he shook my hand, double took, grabbed me by my shoulders and said thank you for giving me time with you today, I will cherish that time.
  So thank you mom and dad for raising me in this gospel, that comes from a man that personally knows and is friends with the prophet and Jesus Christ. Have a great week momma!! O ya we had a baptism yesterday!
I love you momma!!
Love your son Elder Cache Summers
