Paul Wilhelmson Vuelo porque Vivo! What’s the object? Focus? I object to the focus! I’d rather focus on the object…
So tell me, have you ever given any thought to what an “object focus” sentence actually looks like? Personally I can’t remember ever having thought about it, but that is probably because my sub-conscience chose to block those memories from my mind. Well, it has come back to haunt me! Lately, object focus is what I have been studying in my Indonesian language classes. It is quite confusing playing around with the prefixes and suffixes while trying to get all the words in the correct order! The sad part is that there is probably somebody out there that actually enjoys doing this! Oh yeah, it is starting to come into “focus” so there is hope for me yet!
To date, I have put in over 500hrs of language study. If I were an aircraft part I would probably have been replaced by now! However, unlike an aircraft part, the more time I get in language study the better it gets so keep praying!
Praise the Lord talking to and understanding people is getting easier day by day.
Praise the Lord for His faithfulness even when I’ve been less than deserving.
Continue to pray for an open mind to learn and a smooth tongue, not only for me but also for the rest of the missionaries I am studying language with.
