Updates!!! 

This last week has been awesome. We picked up 3 investigators all in one day. So, recap. We had a lesson with a Potential Investigator, Rachel, at the library. It was a long lesson (by long I mean it was literally from 3-5). But, she wanted to continue meeting. So, that was the first new investigator! We had another lesson with a new investigator, Cece that we had picked up from the week before and her son Antonio was there!! So, that was our second investigator of the day. After that lesson, we had a lesson with another Investigator Amanda (who has been an investigator for almost a year). She had invited her friend Kami to the lesson and Kami said that from what we had taught at that lesson, it sounded pretty cool. She also said,"I'm gonna be real though. If I don't feel it. I won't keep learning." I honestly like it when people say that now though because it means that they are actually going to try and learn. So, I wasn't even mad! But, we also picked her up as an investigator. It was awesome. Then on Thursday I went in to the doctors to get checked out. For my stomach they put me on a new prescription which helps with the nausea, but not the actual shooting, sharp pains. For my head, they have no idea what is actually going on. So, I'm gonna have to go to the hospital and get an MRI for that. Whoops. Mom always told me that I was the most expensive baby she's ever had. 

For other cool news, Saturday night we had a trunk or treat for the Holt and Meridian ward. We went to that and then one of my favorite members, Sister Anderson, took my companion and I out to get ice cream afterwards. Then, she broke the news. So, quick back story. I've known for a while now that either a General Authority or an Apostle was going to be coming to the mission. But no one knew who. Then when we were all sitting around eating ice cream, she broke the news that President Nelson was going to be coming to the mission on November 11 and 12!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!! 

It has been awesome to also get to know Sister Carroll more. We are so alike! We were both adopted, our adoption stories are kinda similar, her dad was a dairy farmer, we both want to be teachers, we're both serving in Michigan, etc. We're practically the same person. It's pretty cool. 

I love you!! Also, her are some pics of trunk or treat people as well as Sister Carroll and I. The kid in green reminds me of Bode. It's awesome.

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 ...

Mom- Things are going great here!  Today, we had service (which we do every Thursday) at a place called Bickford which is a place for Elderly people.  We go in from 1-3pm and do people’s nails.  Doesn’t sound that bad, right?  I know now how to file, paint nails “properly”, how to clip nails to an appropriate length, and also how to get poop out from under nails.  So when you get to be these people’s age, I call taking care of your mails.  Believe me, I’m a pro now.  Today though there was a grouchy lady who had me do her nails.  I filed and go the poop from under her nails then started putting pink nail polish on her nails, finished two fingers before she said a nail on her other hand was too long.  So I stopped and went back to filing it down for her.  Finally after asking her quite a few times if it was a good length for her, she finally let me get back to the nail polish.  Of course, by that time she had decided that the pink...
