"Another Week in Bauang"

Well family im happy and im glad i hear everything is ok and i hope it continues to go well for you! this week was a fast one that just shot right on by, we were busy with traveling and the time just slipped right on by haha, well this week was another doozy, haha i'm really getting worn out haha i feel we are working our tails off and the work is just not moving, this week espicially, i swear we got punted at almost every appointment, people were either not home, busy and just not wanting to hear the gospel, i think i have heard every excuse in the book up to this point. something exciting this week was we got to go to baguio for zone conference and Elder Ardern came and spoke to us, he's part of the area presidency and so it was really neat to have him here and we learned a lot of new things and the spirit was just edifing, it was something i really needed and we left the meeting inspired to be better missionaries. this week we had a great lesson with brother willy and i thought we were going to get him to come to church but he didn't show, we're struggling with investigators in this area, have been since i got here, haha we talk to lots of people everyday and teach new people i think the elect are just really hiding from us haha, i really feel the lords hand in my life this week, He helped me hurdle those stumbling blocks and just keep pushing forward, this week on wednesday we find out whose getting transfered, well i'm not getting my hopes up cause president monahan does things differently than we are used to, so i don't think i'm leaving. oh shucks haha. well family i love you and thank you for all your support i'm feeling good and healthy so no worries there. just remember the lord in everything you do. mahal kita elder machen
