So happy to hear about how things went at State! So sad that I wasn't there to cheer people on. I bet it was a lot of fun. Oh Rose. I miss her and Crystal so much. Tell them I say hi! 

Did Lexi and Mason go to State as well? Or did they stay in Rexburg? Haha we didn't have church here for 2 weeks. We finally had Church yesterday. Sister King and I are no longer Less Active missionaries! I taught second hour Gospel Principles. I was a nervous wreck but somehow I made it through. Make sure to send me an invitation! I am so excited for Lexi. How are wedding plans going? 

Sister King and I have definitely been trying to follow the promptings of the Spirit way more this week. We only have one investigator, Rachel. Jolee dropped us. It was really sad. We both got the prompting on Saturday to stop by her house. So, we stopped by and no one answered. We then got a prompting to go to her ex-boyfriends house. So, we went over there. Again, no one answered. We left an ITL card (invitation to learn) at both her house and his house. Then, we finally got the prompting to try texting her. She stopped responding back to us on Tuesday and we were getting worried about her. Hence why we prayed and followed the promptings on how to get in contact with her. Well, after texting her she answered back. Turns out she was in Indiana with her uncle and cousin. We asked if we could meet with her this week and she said "No.". So, we left the conversation at that and continued on with our day. We were still door knocking at 7:30 at night when we got a text from Jolee. She was livid. She told us that we overstepped a boundary in going to her ex's house. We told her that since she wasn't responding back to us, we prayed and were guided by the Spirit to her house, then her ex's and prompted to leave ITL cards at both houses. Then, we got the prompting to text her. She told us that we weren't very good missionaries because missionaries are supposed to understand boundaries and promptings. She said that it wasn't a prompting that led us to her house. We told her again that it was and then asked her "How do you think missionaries found you?". Well, the conversation ended at that because she was only found because Sisters King and Morganson followed the promptings they got to go door knock on the street where she was living with her (now ex) boyfriend at the time. Yesterday we got a surprise text from her apologizing to us that she had gotten mad. She told us that she loved us and thanked us for all we had taught her. It was really surprising for both Sis. King and I to get a text from Jolee apologizing to us. 

We had an appointment set up with a potential investigator named Bob, but we found out quickly that during the hour that we had with him he just wanted to bash about original sin from Adam and Eve, how the Book of Mormon is written (not translated) by Joseph Smith, and how the Catholic church dates all the way back to Christ himself. So that was interesting. We decided to not make a return appointment with him 

But, this week has had its ups and downs. We have been able to have a lot of time to go out finding more people and really exercise more faith in Jesus Christ and His plan for both of us. With transfer calls on Friday. We don't know what is going to happen. So, we will be emailing on Saturday as well. 

We mostly get fed every night so its pretty nice. Except that we are both trying to lose weight .

I love you all! Hope you all have a good week!
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 ...

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...
