"Here We GO!" 1/13/13

Wow what another amazing week here in santa maria! the lord really blessed us and truly does answer prayers, its been the greatest to see his hand guided us out here. haha elder terry and I are doing great! we just have fun and get the work done! its been a blast! This week we worked on how we could improve our teaching and it was great to see the difference it made in our lessons. yesterday was great we had 7 investigators at church and i think 11 la's. we were pretty pumped! people are just coming out of the wood works and everything is falling into place! were having a baptism this jan 24! we are so excited cause she is doing so good! she is also very excited as well, its been the neatest thing to see the lord bless her as she has investigated his church. we also have some others scheduled for feb 16. we are very happy with what the Lord has done for us in this area, it has been amazing the change we have seen this transfer. elder and i couldnt believe how fast this week went by! it was ridiculous. I love you family and know that i am doing great, couldnt be happier! this work is amazing! mahal kita, Elder Machen
