What. A. Week!
Well folks, I'm not in North Branch any more! On Thursday, I got transferred to SHOREVIEW! (All the Peoria folks, skip to the pictures for a surprise lol!)
I have a new companion, Sister Campos! She is the best! We are both new to the area (whitewashing) so that has been crazy and fun! We laugh... a lot haha mostly because I do dumb things. (On our second day together I went the wrong way on a main road but quickly realized and recovered... the adrenaline really kicked in) Anyway! We have a lot of fun and we teach really well together!
We are meeting so many cool people here! The other day we met this lady from Kenya and she taught us Swahili! (Hence the intro) And then later that day we met another man from Kenya and I could use what we learned from her with him and that made him so happy! We also met the cutest Chinese family! They were so open so hopefully we can go back! We also get to have the neatest conversations with people! I love giving them hope!
We got to teach a family here The Plan of Salvation using the word "love" and it was so neat! (I'll attach a picture) I LOVE the Plan that God has for us all! It is so cool!
We had stake conference yesterday (so good) and one of the things I liked from it was that a speaker challenged everyone to BE the ANSWER to someone else's PRAYER! Follow promptings! You never know who God may be trying to bless through you!
Sorry this is so scatterbrained! We don't have a ton of time today because we are with the Hermanas and heading to the STATE FAIR soon with our Zone! So excited!
ANYWAY I love you all! Keep on keeping on! Remember who you are and what you stand for! I love getting updates about your life! (Seriously email me!) Thank you for your prayers and your love!
Kwaheri! (Goodbye)
Love, Sister Freeman

6. This guy look familiar? So my area used to be an elders area (like super recently changed) and the apartment has drawings of all the elders who have served there (it's like a tradition of someone in the ward)... its a little creepy to be honest because they are in the room where we sleep but ANYWAY, we were looking at them and I was like whoa! I know him! Shout out to Elder Holmes!
7. Sister Campos is the best! We are having a blast getting to know the area and the people :)
