"The Example of Jesus Christ"

Haha looks like you had a great week! i really enjoyed your emails and thank you for that! its always a booster to keep going! This week flew by so fast i cant even believe it! haha they are just ticking by. Zone interviews went great this week! The spirit was strong and really helped us deliver our training, i absolutely love the opportunity to be able to give training to the whole mission. its been such a great blessing and a humbling experience. not only was that a really good experience our work that we were able to do this week was truly guided by the lord! Despite all the travel and time spent at the other zones we had a fruitful week here in urdaneta! We saw real progression in our investigators and them showing a real desire to come unto Christ. We saw the power of the Book of Mormon answer every question that they had, we felt the power of the Holy Ghost bear testimony to them that this message is true. We personal felt the Holy Ghost teach through us and felt we were instruments in the hand of the lord! Its a interesting thing coming to the end of a day and sitting back and realizing how incredible your day had been and its a humbling experience to know that it was nothing of what you did, it was all Him, it always has been and always will be, i hope we can always Remember that! The example of Jesus Christ has meant more to me now then ever before, he never took time to rest or relax, its easy to think after a long day of doing His work that we deserve a break or time to unwind, ive learned that really doesn't comply with His work. Its the most rewarded experience when you think you have done all you can but push through to do that much more and feel him carrying you along! I testify He is there, He knows us personally and expects us to honor him. Theres nothing i want to do more than that. I love you for all your support and love to keep me going! mahal kita nagmamahal, Elder Machen
