We are working towards baptism with many people, but
they are having trouble making it to church.
Elder Bromley is doing a lot better in the language,
now we just need be a bit more serious ;). I know right that coming from me...
We make a lot of appointments, but we have a good
portion fall through.
I am still district leader but that might change
soonish. (step down bois.)
We are super sleep deprived, pretty much all of our
time is spent working hard, we have little time to rest.
God's grace is sufficient to save you, don’t forget
that.
Repent and be baptized.
The work is good and God loves us, but He still allows
us agency.
I talked a little bit about agency last week. Agency is
not just about making more right decisions than wrong decisions, it is about
using your choices every single day to become something better than you were
before. It is a process. The goal in our mission right now is to become agents
of change, to allow people to utilize their agency correctly and get as many
blessings as they can.
Culture: The word "po" is used for respect,
but it can also be used as a distance thing. It can be used to distance
yourself from others. For example, you would not use po with a close friend –
no matter how much you respect them. Parents use the word po to their children
so that the kids will learn to use it.
Tagalesson: Bawal. "Bawal" means “forbidden”,
or not allowed, or against the rules. It is one of the most convenient words,
it can be used for kids games or for God's commandments. You just tell someone
that something is bawal and they know they aren’t allowed to do it.
Welp, we are all good. We took some pictures for the Christmas
slideshow in the mission so I will send you some of those.
Love you all
Elder Faulkner
