7/7/13 "Looking For Opportunities To Share The Gospel"

Oh man i totally forgot it was 4th of july this week! haha glad to see you had such a good time! Zion looked like a blast! its kinda funny you are asking about my travel plans, ive had my itinerary here for about a month now, i just forgot to tell you and plus i didnt want you getting to excited. i will arrive in Idaho Falls sept 12 about 2:45pm. you'll get it in the mail here in a few weeks probably in august. This week was a great one! we were able to do some exchanges and those are always a great learning experience! i was also able to go to the new zone alaminos, it was good and the missionaries were not to excited to change missions but now we are seeing them really stepping up and getting excited. We did a lot of driving this week and working with other missionaries. As far as work went in our area it was good, we have really been focusing on working strongly with the members, (idk if you saw the broadcast but it was great, you should probably watch it). We have been involving them more in the lessons and espically with our progressing investigators! They by the way are doing great!!!! they as a family came to church yesterday and they were fellowshipped very well and are very excited to become members! oh its been a goal of mine to get a family into the church and im praying that this one goes through! the dad is already a member but kind of less active so getting him back in crucial! I hope you as well are looking for opportunities to share the gospel and progress the work of our Heavenly Father, i know you can do it, just got to have that pray in our heart! i love you so very much and appreciate you love and suppport! thank you again for everything! mahal kita Elder Machen
