Hey all!

This week has been good! Very busy but good. I'm with Elder Chaus now - he's pretty chill... he's funny and very willing to work.

So let's see here..... not much exciting happened this week. A lot of our appointments fell through, so we biked a ton! About the only super exciting thing that happened was that I got a new mattress this morning!!! I have been waiting for it for like 3 weeks!!! I had to wait to get it till all the bed bugs were gone! But they're all gone now, so we don't gotta worry!!!

Hmm...... I don't know what to talk about, haha. Hope you all have a wonderful week!!!

Hey all! I'm doin' good - now the city of Detroit, I don’t think I can vouch for it! Ha we ripped it up this last week! It flew by and was amazing! We got a lot done!

Let's hit up some highlights!

· Rode about 135-140 miles

· Hit my 6 month mark

· Got the transfer call and found out I'm staying

· During this week I was with my 5th and 6th comp.

· Got some sweet mail items from some amazing people :)

So it was a good week. I stayed with the Ferndale Elders, so we had to cover both areas on bike. We did a tooooon of riding, but I’m losin' more weight so it's all good. :)

Tomorrow I get my new companion for the new transfer. This transfer will take me all the way into October! By the time I'm done with it, I’ll be at 7 ½ months! Time FLIES by out here! All you future missionaries won’t believe me and the returned agree! Hahaa...

So! I have successfully written in my journal for over 6 months straight. No promises that it’ll happen after the mission but heck, I'm doin' it now!

For the record, I hate the game Phase 10. It is the most irritating game ever! Rummy is waaaay better!

Hope you all have a good week! Peace out~

What up doebro's! {I have no idea what that word is, let alone if it is spelled correctly. :) Taffi}

Everything here in Detroit is going good. :) Busy week filled with meetings and getting Elder Hunt through his last week! Yep, I killed him off. His two years are up and he is going home a week early to start school on time. He actually flies out at 12 today! About a half hour away!

So right now I'm on my 5th and 6th companions! I'm with the Ferndale elders. It's fun. I'll only be here a week, then next week on Tuesday I will get another new comp! Crazy! But my address that I am at will not change, unless I get transferred and there is like a 99% chance that I'll be staying!

This week went by fast! Actually, these last 6 months have gone by fast! Well, for me, at least. Tomorrow on the 16th I hit my 6th month mark. I feel like I just barely left the MTC!!! But it's all good :)

Well I gotta run! Hope you all have an amazing week!

Peace out!

{Elder Jones sent me a quick email to let me know not to expect a letter this week. :(

He is fine, though, and promises to write next week. :)

Hey there all. Another week has blown by! But it's all good!

Stayed busy with exchanges and other sorts of service projects and special activities! We also helped a family that moved from Redford, Oregon move in a few days ago into a house over in Hamtramck. It was all done in the pouring rain!

Had a few more bike issues but heck, what's a mission without a few obstacles! :D

Not too much for detail this week. Way, way tired... so yeah. haha :p

Peace out ~

Family!!! :D 7.29.11

Hey there!

Fair warning, this letter is probably gonna be a little shorter than what you'd like. :)

I had a good (almost) two weeks! We were super, super busy the whole time , which was awesome! I have personally seen a lot of miracles!

Elder Hunt and I are getting along pretty well. He's pretty funny. And he's super focused for going home in 17 days from now. I want to be like him in that aspect when I get to that point.

The Tigers game was awesome! They did lose, but they had some sweet plays. We (the missionaries) made it up on the Jumbotron for a bit! I didn't see it, but everyone else did! If I get the chance in the future, I will definitely take it, to go again! The seats were a bit uncomfortable, but all is well that ends well. :)

This next week is looking pretty well. I don't think it will be like last week with the 15 new investigators & 19 potential, but it's lookin' good!

Fair warning - I might not have anything to say for a hand-written letter for the week of the 1st-7th, so be prepared. ;)

Oh! And thank you for the card. :) I loved it!

Well, I gotta run!

Love you guys!!

Peace out ~

What up does.

This last week was good :)

Sorry about the last e-mail, didn't have much to say!

But this last week was good. The Tigers game was legit! They did end up losing, but I had a blast! Once I figure out how to get pictures out, I'll attach some!

We had a buuuuuusy week! We taught 27 lessons which was sweet! Super busy, but well worth it!

I've had more problems with the bike, I'm actually using a spare bike that is kinda better than mine. Man, I'm getting tired of buying tubes!!

We did service last Tuesday in the soup kitchen. It really opens your eyes to the world and what's really going on. It makes me really appreciate my life and all the people that are in it! That includes all y'all :)

Well I gotta hit the road! Have fun!

Peace out ~
