Okemos, MI January 8.2018

It is so crazy that it is already 2018! I can't believe it! The crazier thing is is that I might be going home in December of this year if President allows me to. So that is SUPER weird! Hopefully everything is alright with Bodes foot. It's good that he is able to walk on it! I am so glad that dad is getting better but I am happy that I didn't have to be there for the bad gas issues. Hopefully the stench leaves the house soon. ðŸ˜‚ That is so cool that the wrestling team did so good! Is Bode loving wrestling? I am so happy that Lexi got a wedding dress! She looks so pretty and so happy!! She and Mason are perfect for each other! 

This week has been really cold! Sister Carroll and I had interviews on Monday, District P-Day on Tuesday which was a blast! We wore our matching MLM pants that you sent us for Christmas! We looked great! We got Priesthood blessings on Wednesday so that we could go out and work without feeling like complete death all the time. It worked! The next day we were feeling WAY better and ended up going out door knocking! It was great! We didn't get any new investigators this week which kind of stinks and we weren't able to meet with anyone this week either. I was able to share a great story of Aunt Sara with a Less Active woman that we are working with. She really enjoyed it. She has had a rough couple of years. First, her brother was murdered and his roommate only called her to let her know that he was dead. She gets to the house and he's in the kitchen making himself lunch! So, she calls 911 after going up to her brothers room and seeing him dead. Then, this past June, her son was murdered. So sad!! Her mom is also not doing good and has had a lot of health issues. Her sister died a few years ago as well. So she is struggling a bit. But, I shared the story of when Uncle Kollin died and Aunt Sara in court forgives the man. She was shocked that Aunt Sara did that! But I told her that in order for us to move on with our lives and continue to move forward and to trust in God, you need to forgive! 

Yesterday for Sacrament Meeting, I got up and bore my testimony since it will be my last time to bear it here in Meridian! Sister Carroll and I got up at the same time though. When Sister Carroll started bearing her testimony, she said "You know you have comp. unity when both you and your companion listen to the promptings of the Spirit and get up at the same time to bear your testimony." It was great. I am so sad about that! I love this area with all my heart! It is definitely going to be hard to leave this area and Sister Carroll. 

I love you all so much!! Keep working hard and being examples of Christ! Don't be afraid to share the gospel! Your testimony will grow as you do so!

❤ Sister Summer Freeman

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...

She's "Sister Freeman" now...

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 ...
