This is the time that things might be getting back to
the normal schedule in missionary work. We finally had a good few days in the
area to visit those that we are teaching. We actually have a lot of people to
teach right now, but they are not coming to church. A lot of them are
interested in the church but are still having the set back of not taking the
necessary step of church attendance. We have created a specific plan for next
week: Ask a member to go to the home of an investigator on Sunday morning and personally
invite them to church. We will do this for every single investigator.
This week with Elder Pajarin was great. I have started
speaking Tagalog again about 95% of the time, allowing for the occasional
English joke. He really wants to get better at English, and I want to get
better at Tagalog. Having a companion who is a native speaker of the language
you want to speak, really helps improve your language skills. One thing I have
noticed is that even over a short 5 days, I am already starting to think in
Tagalog again. I missed that a lot. It is very different to have random
thoughts in a different language, even if it was not my intention to think in
that language. I know that happens more in places where people are completely
surrounded in the language that they speak.
This week was overall very good; our zone is looking
very solid. We have a few companionships that are doing amazing work and
exceeding many expectations. As zone leaders, we just praise them and enable
them to do their work better.
Well, I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful
week. Things might be changing soon, so I will make sure that I update you on
that when it happens.
Love
Elder Faulkner
