The day the Prophet called me

I will let you know on Saturday about the companion size because I don't know if I am staying or being transferred yet. I'm hoping to stay for one more transfer because usually when Sister missionaries get in an area, they stay longer than Elders. I saw the pictures and it looked like you all had a lot of fun at Grandma Nielsons! Its so weird that Christmas is coming up so soon! I am still working on Breks Christmas present. But don't worry, I'll get it done! I did get the scarf and hats as well as the snow boots! The hats are a little big but they're warm so that's nice! It hasn't been too cold here though so I haven't had much need to wear the hats and scarfs too much yet. For Thanksgiving we went over to a members house (the Bakers). They actually moved in in August but are so involved with missionary work so that's really nice! We actually don't have a car this week so Sister Baker picked us up and we were able to enjoy a few hours of Thanksg...

Funny thing happened this week to me...the momma.  Here's the story and then her response. Momma down I was in and out of the house all morning finally when I was taking a bowl of milk to the babies the stairs came out from underneath me.  So the milk went flying all over the garbage can and I was laying on my back groaning. And guess who was the first responder?? Not Eric not Bode not even Brek. It was Cody of course with his nose in my face. He carefully licked all the spilt milk from my face and hands and body. I was ok but I asked Bode to help me get the steps back up and he’s like where are one of the legs?  Mmmm I don’t know. There were only 3 legs under the steps. Then here comes a sheepish Eric with the 4th leg in his hand. He had used it under the car to jack it up, he’s changing the tires from the gold to the iron. Yeah so he was going to remember to but the 4th leg back but forgot and so I had been balancing on a tripod the whole morning. No wonder ...

Hey mom!! It's snowing way more in Washington right now than here in Michigan! It is getting colder though so I'm not sure I'm too excited about that. We went out knocking in the pouring rain the other day and when I knocked on the door, I looked at Sister Carroll and she said that it would soon be time for us to go and get a ping pong ball to help us knock on the frozen doors! But, also a really funny experience that happened that same day... As we were knocking in the pouring rain, Sister Carrolls umbrella broke. So, we knocked one more house, got into our car and went to meijer to buy a new umbrella for her as well as some gloves. Once we pulled into a parking space, we both looked at each other and said that after buying her an umbrella, it would most likely have stopped raining by the time that we got out of the store. Well, we went in, bought an umbrella and some gloves, and walked outside... Into the sun. Yeah, Michigan weather is sometimes predictable. But, we did e...

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, w...

This week it is apparently going to rain the whole time. Which, sucks for us today and tomorrow because Sister Carroll and I don't have a car until Wednesday. Then on Wednesday, the Elders don't have a car. But that's okay. They should be fine. I think that I am honestly going to miss haunted houses the most during Halloween. I freaking love those things. We have a Zone Conference next monday (in which my companion Sister Carroll and I are singing at ) and then we have P-Day on Halloween! It's going to be so freaking fun... I hope.  This week, has been long. After Transfers happen, Eternal week happens. It's been rough. We also were put onto car rotations so we gave up our freaking nice 2017 chevy malibu. Then, we had to walk everywhere. On Wednesday we had an appointment at 12 with a less active that we are working with so we got a ride from Elder and Sister Rushton who work at the mission office. Well, she lives in Lansing but in ...

Hello!  Yes, I did get the package! I haven't gotten Brek's letter yet, but I will keep a look out for it! Also, the Connell shirt is most likely a kids shirt. I pulled it out and it was really small! I love it, but I'm definitely gonna have to stretch it out! Haha the weather is honestly all over the place right now! It's mostly been raining though this past week. We got our transfer calls  on Friday ! Well, I did anyways. Sister Newby got hers  on Thursday  night because President called her and asked if she would be a Sister Training Leader in Grand Rapids! She's gonna do awesome! I will miss her a lot but I am getting another awesome companion, Sister Carol! Sister Carol pretty much looks like Sister Newby (kinda but not really) but is much taller! Elder Call who WAS our District Leader got called  Thursday  night as well to be a Zone Leader in Midland! Super cool! We all knew that he was gonna be made a Zone Leader but he didn't want to be cause then...

(Sis Freeman responding to hearing about Verdene Jenks accident) Oh wow that is so sad! I will definitely write her! I think that the prayers have really been working because we had some miracles this week! We got 3 potential investigators, 1 new investigator and then some really cool news!! So, backstory really fast. We were in Lansing (in the only area that we have in Lansing anyways) and we didn't know where to go finding at. So, we pulled off the road and said a prayer. Afterwards, we looked back at the map and Sis. Newby pointed out one street which we both felt pretty good about. So, we went over there and started knocking on some doors. No one was really interested. So, after we had just gotten rejected at another house, we turned around and there was this guy walking down the road with a backpack and a bike! So, we went over and talked to him. We found out that he's homeless but he told us that he knew God has a plan for him. He just doesn't know what it is yet...
