A few days ago, Jonathan came walking into my office. At that moment, I, Stephen, had my earphones on and was reviewing some Agutaynen phrases. Jonathan asked if he could listen with me and he had “fun” pushing the “play” button. However, after just a few minutes, the fun was over. Jonathan handed the earphone back to me and said, “It’s kind of boring.” In four short words, Jonathan expressed the glamour of learning another language. Yes, aspects of learning the Agutaynen language are boring and difficult. Some days are frustrating as I struggle to clearly communicate with the Agutaynens. However, these difficulties are far outweighed by the relationships we have with the Agutaynens and knowing that some of these Agutaynens are now our brothers and sisters in the Lord. Please be praying for me as I continue to study the Agutaynen language with the desire to teach and disciple the Agutaynens for God’s glory. Please be praying for the language evaluation I will be having in just a few days, March 2-5. Hopefully the men giving the evaluation will be able to give me specific direction for my further language study. In the next few days, if you think, say, or hear the word “boring”, please pray for us and for the Agutaynens.
