Okemos, MI January 2.2018

My week has been cold cold cold. I've also gotten a cold. We had to save miles so we walked places in order to do that. I dressed as warm as possible. With A LOT of layers. It was insane how cold its gotten in the past few days/week! Its gotten so cold that my hands are so dry now!! I can't stand it! No matter how much lotion I put on, nothing seems to work!

 We had interviews with President yesterday and he told me that in 2 weeks I will be getting transferred. I don't know where to yet though. He asked me if I had a specific place in mind but since all I know is this area, I just said two zones that I've been hearing about a lot recently. So, we will see in 2 weeks where I will be going for sure!! Skyping was so much fun!! It was great to be able to see you all and talk to you guys! 

Sister Carroll and I loved the pajamas that we got, by the way! We took a lot of awkward pictures to prove it, too!! This week has been a lot of fun and we are working super hard to find more people to teach. We have done lots of door knocking which is probably one of my favorite things to do every day!! I absolutely LOVE door knocking! We get so many different reactions every time! This week while door knocking, we knocked on this mans house. When he answered the door he yelled out,"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" Well, I was so shocked (and maybe a little bit scared) that I couldn't say anything. Sister Carroll spoke up and said," We are just the missonaries." Well, the man started laughing and told us that he thought we were his daughters friends and that he was sorry for scaring us. He kindly told us that he and his family weren't interested and we walked away hearing him laughing as he shut the door. Sister Carroll and I busted up laughing as soon as we got off of his property. That was the best thing that has ever happened while door knocking! 

Not much else to say except that I am sick right now and that I am hoping to get better soon. But, due to the weather, it might be a while. 

The girls are doing great! They are so happy!! 

For New Years we had to be in our apartment at 6 so Sister Carroll and I just played board games and did a 40 minute work out that kicked our booties! New Years day we had District Lunch with the Elders, District Meeting with the Elders and one of the Zone Leaders, then interviews. We had to wait to get interviewed for a long time though! We were supposed to have interviews at 3 but had interviews at 6 instead!

I love you all!!

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 ...

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...

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 ...
