MTC #3-July 25, 2017

I have not gotten my package yet but my district leader is checking the mail this morning so I guess I just need to go and find him! My companion bought some writing supplies and let me borrow some stuff so that I could send you that letter. I felt really homesick and something told me that I needed to send a hand written letter home. 
Sadly there's no corn on the cob here either but I honestly don't think there ever will be! Haha I saw Wyatt today! I should've asked him what his email was so that I could tell you! That other Wyatt Jensen must think you're hilarious. I bet building a house is hard (hopefully Lexi is helping you). How's everyone doing?? How's Brek? I emailed Lexi earlier today but I need to go back and get my camera so that I can send you pictures! I love you!

(She commented on the pictures that I sent her, of Michelle and Travis Schultz, and 24th Celebration)
That is so awesome!! Tell them congratulations for me!! Looks like the 24th celebration was really fun! The only thing that changed around here is that we didn't get mail haha other than that everything was pretty normal! 

I'll send pictures later today but I saw Wyatt today which was awesome! He leaves tomorrow to go to California for six weeks while he waits for his visa to come. I saw Collin Freeman at devotional sunday night and we took a picture. I've seen Brian Hawkins around a lot! Same with Jax Whitby and Jeff Freeman! It's nice to see familiar faces once in a while! 
(Commenting on a package coming for her)
Alright sweet! I'll have to find my district leader and see if there's a package for me then!

We went to the temple today!! It was so amazing! I saw Aunt Sara's mom there!! I also got Breks picture today!! Tell him I said thanks and that I love it so much!!!

(Letter to Lexi)
Tina!! My ears are just bruised so all I can do is let them heal. I leave next Wednesday morning at 3 or 4 in the morning (from the MTC) and then we fly to Detroit at 9 something and then from Detroit to Lansing. I saw Wyatt today which was pretty fun cause he leaves tomorrow to go to California for six weeks cause he's waiting for his visa to come. I also heard about Cole (he can go out but he has to write a letter and then give it to his Stake President but his Stake President is gone for two weeks which means that Cole can't go to Detroit until the end of August. I'm not as homesick this week thankfully but it is different having to go to bed early... Everyone in my room wakes up during the night and then falls back asleep 10-15 minutes later. I wake up at least 3 times during the night. I am super excited to go to Michigan but also really nervous because teaching investigators at the MTC is way different than teaching out in the mission field. I have a super awesome district (I'll send you the pictures later today) and I am super sad that half of them are going to Idaho Falls. When you go back to Rexburg in the fall look out for Elders Eck, Lewis, Davidsen and Garrow. Also look out for Sister Custer. They're all really awesome and I have learned so much from each of them. During lessons that my companion and I teach to investigators is super awesome. When you talk it's not even you! Literally you get so carried away in the Spirit that you can lose track of time. We had a 45 minute lesson yesterday and accidentally went for an hour! But that's what happens when the Spirit is so strong. Even our investigator was crying!! It was a great experience and experiences like those make me really excited to go to Michigan!! I love you Tina!!!

PS... tell Bode and Brek that I'm gonna try to send a video of Elder Garrow doing the joker voice (off of Batman)... honestly it's kinda scary

Owosso, MI January 22.2018

NOTE FROM THE MOMMA:  It's terrible when your missionary forgets to bring her camera so she can't upload her pictures that she took of her new area and apartment...How is a momma's heart supposed to be satisfied with NO DETAILS!! Sister Freeman's new address 1155 N. Chipman Apt. #1 Owosso, MI 48867 Owosso is great! I love it here! Sister King and I get along so well! Her and I actually got food poisoning yesterday though so that wasn't very fun. But hey, we're better now! We have an investigator on date for  February 10. Her name is Jolee.  We picked up a new investigator the day that I got to Owosso which was awesome! We have been doing lots of door knocking, which is fine with me. I have definitely gotten out of my comfort zone a lot and been able to talk to people about the gospel nonstop on doorsteps or while we are walking on the sidewalk and they are also walking on the sidewalk. I love sharing the gospel everyday! It makes me so so happy!! The ...

Let me tell you about our day.... Summer has been packing all day.  We got everything packed and the luggage weighed 6 pounds over between the two pieces.  We took things out like the winter coat and 3 t-shirts, 5-10 pairs of socks and 3 undershirts.  The luggage still weighs 6 pounds over.  But in the process of taking things out we found this shirt... You know we should take a beer advertisement shirt on our mission because "we have no clue that lucky is a beer". (The back story to owning this shirt.  I think it was Lex 8th grade and she wanted to where something green for St. Patty's day.  I found this shirt cheap at Walmart.  She went off to school with the green shirt.  About 10 o'clock, I get a phone call from the principal and I'm asked if I know Lex is wearing a beer shirt.  MMMMM.....no.  After getting his laughter under control, the principal told me that Lucky is a beer and he thought that I probably didn't know it was a ...

Hello!! Happy Memorial Day!! Wow this past week has been crazy!! So much has happened it's insane! The weather is SOOOO hot right now. It's insane! Marnie did get baptized  on Saturday ! We are so happy for her! Before she got immersed though, her boyfriend Joe and her were in the font and while he was saying the baptismal prayer, she started to cry! It was such a sweet and tender moment. There is a huge change in her since we first met with her up until the day she got baptized and the day after that when she got the gift of the Holy Ghost. Being able to see the change that the gospel brings to someone's life first hand is incredible! I can't even describe the way it feels. We actually had a lesson this morning as well which was pretty cool. His name is Brian. We were able to put him on date for  June 30 . The last Saturday of the month. He is learning everything so quickly it's insane! He's such a great guy. Shawnda is supposed to be getting baptized  this...
