Hey everybody!
This week went really well. It snowed quite a bit a couple of days, and the back roads are for all intents and purposes, sheets of ice, so biking has been pretty exciting... and a little frustrating. :) I wish I had my GoPro with me so I could record what we bike through, and so you could see what a different kind of place Detroit it :) We'll see...
We had a Specialized Training this week. It was really interesting and different, because it was just President and Sister Gerber and our district. We weren't assigned to study anything in preparation for the meeting, and the reason for that was President didn't have a set instruction that he was giving. He just went around to all of the districts in the mission and asked us what we needed help with, and taught by that. It was legit, and President Gerber is stinking brilliant.
We found a really promising investigator this week! We were walking to a recent convert's house because of a snow storm, so there was a bunch of snow and ice on the roads. But while we were walking, we saw a lady shoveling her porch, so we asked if we could help. She gratefully said yes, and because she only had one shovel, one of us shoveled the snow while the other would talk to her. She expressed a sincere interest in the Book of Mormon, and we are excited to start teaching her!
So for the exciting news..... Justin (an awesome investigator of mine back in Warren) in getting baptized this week!!! WOO!!! I am super stoked about it, but unfortunately, I won't be able to go to his baptism. President Gerber said that we can only go to a baptism of one of our former investigator if it has only been a transfer since we have been in that area.. So that stinks. It's okay though. I'm just happy that he is getting baptized!
Thanks for reading :)

Here's a picture of how much snow is over here. When you're on a bike, it's a lot. (This is just some random dude's house by the way. We are sitting on the porch of a less-active member)
