OYM
My dear family,
At Zone Conference on Thursday,
President Barredo challenged us to OYM (open your mouth) to 20 people
in one day. So 140 for one week! Sister Aloc and I already felt
stretched at 7 in one day, but we took the challenge. The next day we
OYMed 22 people! It felt so good. I commented to her at the end of the
day that we worked harder, but yet I wasn't really tired. Blessings of
obedience!!
It sounds like Peter and I both
have really cheerful companions! Sister Aloc is so happy all of the
time. She is so full of faith. I love her prayers. I told her that the
hardest commandment for me is praying sincerely. I'm working on my
prayers. Actually, I have been working on praying sincerely for years.
But I know that God is my Heavenly Father and that He wants to hear from
me.
Something really embarrassing happened
yesterday!! Humbling experiences always happen when you start improving.
The Lord wants me to become fluent, but to remain humble at the same
time. So "Tag balay" is what you say outside of a house, instead of
knocking. It is short for "tagia sang balay" which means "owner of the
house." Kag "maayong gabi" means "good evening." Whenever we pass
someone while walking, even if we don't OYM them, we say "Maayong
gabi!!" But yesterday night I said, "Tag balay!!" to someone as we
passed him, He chuckled and replied, "Maayong gabi man." It was then
that Sister Aloc and I realized that I had tag balay-ed him. Ah! We
laughed and laughed. I'm so used to "knocking" on peoples doors!!
Hahaha!
Sorry gid for such a short email! I love you all!!
Sister Marriott
