Hey all,
How's it going? Had a sweet week and a good end to my last transfer in Warren.
I just got moved to Tecumseh! Don't ask me where it is, ha! I just know it is the bottom left hand corner of the mission and that I'm in the country and I'm loving it :) My new address will be at the bottom of this e-mail! {contact Taffi if you want it!}
This last week on Saturday we had a baptism, his name is Frank and he's great! Worked with him for my whole time over in Warren. the ward has really reached out to him and he is gonna be a great addition to the ward! I am now with Elder Jackson, I served around him back when I was in Bloomfield so we already kind of know each other! He is from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. He's pretty chill and an amazing cellist (someone who plays the cello).
Well I guess that's about it, hope you all have a great week!

Hey all,
What's up! Been a sweet week!
On Wednesday and Friday we had our specialized training and that was awesome, there was a lot of great things that were covered and it was sweet to see the eyes light up in the younger missionaries' eyes when some of the older missionaries told stories of Detroit as we covered, "How to teach in the city". Kind of brought them to a realization of what goes on and how it's different. Unless you've been there and taught and interacted with the people, you wouldn't understand or believe it.
Had a great chance to go on an exchange with another elder in the North Shores ward and we rocked out 9 lessons in one day! It was awesome, we just followed prompting after prompting and it just flowed. Just showed me that it is possible to do what needs done as long as I am doing what is right!
This next week is gonna be legit too, lots of set appointments and meeting some new people! Hope you all have a good week!

Hey there!!
This last week was awesome! We blew it up with 26 lessons and a man named Frank is on date for August 24th! I'm stoked for him! We also were able to help a family set a date to go and be sealed together in the Temple on September 24th! A lot of sweet things are happening!
We were on bike a lot this last week, well actually the whole week, haha, because our car was in the shop getting the door dent fixed that our lovely neighbor put into it. So we did some nice bike riding down in Detroit, got to show Elder Stark what was up with Detroit tracting, it's a lot different from tracting up in suburbia!
Welp, I'm sorry but my time on the comp is up! Hope you all have a good week!

Hey there,
This week was alright!
Got the transfer call and I'm staying, along with Elder Stark, here in Warren for another 6 weeks guaranteed. Ended up being sick for like 3 days (something along the lines of stomach) but I'm back on top now!
We had a GREAT finish for the week, got 5 referrals in a matter of a half hour! Already contacted 3 of them and they are super ready to learn! This week is gonna be great.
We were in Sacrament meeting and the last speaker said something that touched me so I figured I'd share it with you. He said, "The purpose in this life is to have a purpose." So I'm gonna add to that by asking, do you have a purpose, and do you know what it is? Just something to ponder :)
Have a good week!!

Hey all,
This week was sweet! We hit all of our goals this week except for 1! Hit over 25 lessons so it was sweet!
Last week was pretty busy too, but it's all good. This week is gonna be hard, but I'm looking forward to it! The car is gonna be in the shop from Tuesday till Friday, so we'll be on bikes! But the good part of this week is gonna be the Tigers vs. Angels game on Thursday!! Good finish to a good transfer!
So I have been called upon to speak at a funeral of a member that I have met once, that'll be on Tuesday. I've already prepared my talk, but I hope and pray that the Spirit will guide me on what I can say to help the family!
Hope you all have a good week!

Hey all,
This week was hot! We were on bikes all week because some other missionaries didn't quite plan the best way, so we got to go ride the bikes out in 100 degree weather! Haha way fun! Lost some weight, so that was the nice part!
We stayed pretty busy, bouncing around from one corner of the area to another. Oh! and we had a random old investigator call up and say he wanted to be baptized!!! It was an awesome experience! One of those moments where you just kind of sit back, look up and say, "thanks"!
This week we're gonna stay busy, any holiday is hectic, trying to see people in between parties, but we'll figure it out!
Hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July and keep in mind the reason why we're celebrating!

Hey all, whaddup!
This last week was good, pretty long but it was fun! Short on miles, so we were on bikes all week! It's a wonderful opportunity to stop and chat with people! So we got 11 potentials and 3 new investigators! It was sweet! Got to talk with some interesting people too... talked with this one guy, I think is name was Cameron or something like that, he honestly, 100% believe that he is 1/4 Human, 1/4 Demon, 1/4 Demon Slayer and 1/4 Roman God.... he was pretty sweet. We'll see where he goes!
Warren is an awesome area! We have Detroit in it so that makes it Legit with a capital L! haha I love that place so much :) Elder stark is awesome, he's like a work horse, just plows through everything! Can't wait to go tackle this week too!
