Hello! I did get the Valentines day package! So cute! Thanks for sending that to me!

We got so much snow this weekend. It was insane! My snowboots don't keep the snow out of my shoes so I am wearing my rain boots today haha. Sis. King and I had a lot of fun in the snow one day as you will see in some of my pictures. We took turns pushing each other into the snow. It was a lot of fun! Zone conference was a blast! I got to Sister Carroll which I was so happy about! Also, that pic that you sent of Sis. Carroll and Sis. Szoke... They aren't together anymore. Sister Szoke was causing problems so she is now in Dewitt which is in my District. Sister Carroll is with Sister Scott now. Sister King is from South Jordan, Utah. She goes home in March of 2019.

She and I have had some issues this week. She gets so mad about anything and everything. I try to cheer her up and get her from not being mad anymore, but she just ignores me until we have a lesson and then she acts like everything is okay. Its starting to stress me out a lot. I told her yesterday that it is stressing me out and she said that she would work on that. Then, last night she got mad twice cause we were having companion study and I told her we should stay off the phone so that we could study together. She got mad, so I gave her the phone, then she started yelling at me about how I was mad. I couldn't hold it. I told her I was not the one that was always mad and that she needed to stop acting like this. Well, she got onto the phone and listened to a voicemail that we had. Then she apologized after companion study was over. As we were sitting in bed and I was writing in my journal, she started yelling at me again and I told her she needed to calm down and stop being so mad at me cause I hadn't done anything to her. Then she yelled back at me saying that I needed to stop saying that she was always mad because at that time she wasn't even mad. So, as calmly as I could, I told her that her tone of voice told me that she was mad. Then I went back to writing in my journal. I am so stressed out and I don't know what to do. I love Sis. King but sometimes... she scares me. 

I am so excited to hear all about Wrestling State!! I would love an invitation!! Oh I am so excited for Lexi and Mason. Do you realize that I come home at the end of this year? I go home so soon!! Also, Jolee was supposed to get baptized this Saturday, but we found out that she is on probation so she can't get baptized until after March 8. We told her yesterday and she seemed... okay but also kinda annoyed. We asked our ward mission leaders wife to reach out to her (Sister Riley) and Sister Riley texted us and told us that Jolee feels rejected right now because she can't get baptized on Saturday anymore. So sad. Hopefully she doesn't block us out. Please continue to pray for her. 

I was on trade offs with the Sister Training Leaders (STL's) on MSU campus on Thursday night and most of Friday. I was able to share something about Lexi to help an investigator come to church on Sunday. I told him how she tries to not do homework on Sunday and that she has been blessed so much because of that. He said that he would be there on Sunday. It was an amazing experience. Thanks for being a good example to people out here in Michigan, as well as to me. 

Finding is... always interesting. We never know what to expect. We went finding on Wednesday. We knocked 2 streets and only 1 person opened the door. She talked to us for a little bit before telling us to get off her property because she "doesn't like the Latter-Day Saints". We go out everyday rain or shine. Its a lot of fun haha.  

I love you all so much!

This email is for Bode!

Bode!! I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you and your testimony. I have been able to tell stories about you to investigators and less active members and they have had a change in their hearts about how important it is to pray and to study the Book of Mormon daily. I am so grateful for you. You will be an awesome missionary one day. I just wanted to let you know how proud I feel every time I am prompted to tell a story about you, because it makes me more and more grateful for the opportunity that I have to be your older sister. Bode, you have changed my life. I love you so much bud. You are an example to me. Thank you for changing so many lives out here in Michigan. You have definitely changed mine. 

I LOVE YOU!! KEEP BEING AWESOME! DON'T FORGET TO READ AND PRAY DAILY!

Love, 
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...

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 ...
