We got transfers again, now I am not the one that is moving. Elder
Pajarin was only here for one transfer and now he is returning to a ward he has
served in previously. He was only there for one transfer, so we will see if he
stays there longer this time. I will be getting a new companion – Elder
Cadayong. He is a solid missionary and very focused. He is a Filipino that grew
up in Colorado, had to learn the language just like any other foreigner. We
will be hard focused on progression in the zone and in the area. Right now, we
are seeing a lot of hard work from our missionaries. In terms of focused
missionaries, we have one of the best zones in the mission. Almost everyone is
pushing themselves to do great work and we are seeing a huge change.
Missionaries want to be successful. When people are in a position
that they enjoy, they will put forth a good effort in their work. When people
are in a hard position and do not feel like they will be successful, they get
sad and discouraged, then they stop doing effective work. One of the most
important roles of a leader is to put his missionaries in a position to thrive
so that they can feel successful. It isn’t always easy, but it is something
that we focus on. We do what we must, because we can.
I am looking forward with hope. I think this is the time to be more
committed and see good success in the area. Last week, we had 9 investigators
make it to church! We are gonna keep pushing this to see the progress I know
that we can have. Elder Cadayong and I will be working hard ceaselessly.
This week I finally got to work on my book again, I submitted it to
president and it will officially be going to all of the foreign missionaries
that come into our mission. The goal is to put them in a position to thrive and
be successful. It is a good feeling to have written a book, even if it isn’t a
regular book. It is something I put effort into and can see the result of that
effort.
We will be working hard and bringing you many stories in the next
few weeks promise.
I love you all Keep on keeping on.
Elder Faulkner
