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!
