kamusta tanan!
We now have 4 people who are going to be baptized then including the child of record from Casoy as well. But I sort of wonder if our district leader is looking for quoted answers like quoting the pamphlet and stuff like that - that's how he tends to teach in district meeting (taught repentance- it was straight out of the pamphlet). And I'm not sure how a slight confusion about the Godhead (saying lord in her prayer and not able to explain exactly how they're one when he whipped out the scripture in Matthew) keeps her from baptism - I'll find out on Saturday during Zone Interviews because I couldn't find anything related to that in D&C 20:37. I think we'll start teaching them individually maybe. or possibly just those two that have had their date pushed back. I'm just really confused now on how perfect their understanding and stuff has to be in order to be baptized.
On a brighter note, our kuyog/unofficial branch missionary, Lorenzo, has been continuing to go with us every day, thereby enabling us to teach the families while their husbands are at work all day. We would take the other kuyog-Ricky-but he's trying to take care of stuff for work and whatnot so we're going with Lorenzo daily. Without him we'd be struggling to teach people; especially with Zone Training meeting on Thursday and Zone Interview workshops on Friday and interviews on Saturday. So to make up for that we've been trying to teach as many people and help as many souls as possible the last few days to make up for the rest of the week because we'll be in meetings
Anyways I'm super glad that I've found the reason we have key indicators - it's to indicate how we've been helping souls - when people say not to focus on the numbers they just mean don't lose the focus on the people/souls. We do need to worry about how effective we're being with our time so we can help more people towards salvation; we just need to make sure that we're teaching people not lessons and Finding the Elect and not just doing FTEs.
I hope we can fulfill our responsibilities and keep the correct focus on getting ourselves and others to the Celestial Kingdom.
for now,
og kugihan nga misyonaryo,
Elder Dallin Carlson
