Jonathan and Luke with their Agutaynen friends<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A few days ago, Jonathan came walking into my office.\u00a0 At that moment, I, Stephen, had my earphones on and was reviewing some Agutaynen phrases.\u00a0 Jonathan asked if he could listen with me and he had \u201cfun\u201d pushing the \u201cplay\u201d button.\u00a0 However, after just a few minutes, the fun was over.\u00a0 Jonathan handed the earphone back to me and said, \u201cIt\u2019s kind of boring.\u201d\u00a0 In four short words, Jonathan expressed the glamour of learning another language.\u00a0 Yes, aspects of learning the Agutaynen language are boring and difficult.\u00a0 Some days are frustrating as I struggle to clearly communicate with the Agutaynens.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Please be praying for me as I continue to study the Agutaynen language with the desire to teach and disciple the Agutaynens for God\u2019s glory.\u00a0 Please be praying for the language evaluation I will be having in just a few days, March 2-5.\u00a0 Hopefully the men giving the evaluation will be able to give me specific direction for my further language study.\u00a0 In the next few days, if you think, say, or hear the word \u201cboring\u201d, please pray for us and for the Agutaynens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
