yo! i'm officially transferred. i'm serving in the Ypsilanti Ward (sounds like ipsilantee). i'm a zone leader still but i'm in the ann arbor zone instead of the westland zone. i probably have explained this before, but in the mission each zone is made up of a zone. so there's four zones (four stakes) in the mission - Bloomfield Hills, Grand Blanc, Westland, and Ann Arbor. I've served in the other three zones, but this is my first time serving in this zone.
my companion's cool. believe it or not, the Lord has seen it fit to bless me with michael rex as my companion. their personalities are pretty similar. it's great, but surreal, i feel like i'm back home hanging out with michael. actually he went to SUU and played bball (he's 6'8'', an inch taller than my trainer Elder Berger). his name's Elder Kyle Davis. great missionary, been out about 10 months. i went on an exchange with him once when i was in plymouth and we had a pretty miraculous day on our exchange, and this week has been one of the most powerful weeks of my missions. he and i click pretty well in lessons, powerful lessons. we found 10 new investigators this week and got close to 30 lessons. he's only been in this area a transfer longer than me and the zone leaders were serving somewhere else. so we didn't quite white wash the area (but he white washed it when he came into it last transfer) but we're white washing the zone leading aspect of the area. but i'm excited. word on the street is, this is one of the best if not the best wards in the mission as far as missionary mindedness goes. the members are pumped, come out to help with appointments a lot. this morning we traded in our 96 Chevy Malibu for a 12 Ford Fusion. we're planning on a baptism this saturday before conference. life is good. oh and a couple of families i've met in the ward are good friends with David Fosters' family. I think the fosters used to live in this ward before they came to CA? small world.
so here's the new address:
2277 Grove Rd. Apt #824W
Ypsilanti, MI 48198
Conference is coming. I found this sweet video on lds.org, check it out, post it on fb or something. spread the word!

Well that's about it for now. i'm looking forward to conference. don't forget to prepare for it by praying that the Lord will teach you things you need to learn. without fail there is something there for all of us. gotta go. have a great week.
love you guys.
