OK here are the highlights from the week!
>One of the young Karen girls randomly texted us for help understanding some verses in the Book of Mormon that she read!! Literally made us so happy!
>We got to go to transfers/the airport to pick up a new missionary! It was so fun to have a trio for the afternoon! PLUS we got to elbow bump President Richardson! So fun so fun!
>We called in & prayed together as a zone for the people we are teaching and people being taught throughout the mission! I really enjoyed that :)
>My running buddy Sister Marshall got transferred #sad but Sister Norton is a champ of a companion & said she'd run with me now! :)
>We had 2 lessons with one of our friends this week reading the Book of Mormon & the chapters we read were so random but SO GOOD! For one of the lessons we read 2 Nephi 3 (yeah she's that far in the Book of Mormon 🤘🏻) & it talked about the importance of both the Bible and the Book of Mormon and she thought it was super cool! She also opened up to us randomly after that lesson too! The spirit man..
The other chapter was 2 Nephi 4 & it talked about Nephi & kind of his struggles after his father just passed away & at the end of the chapter we kind of get to hear Nephi's prayer & it was SO GOOD! I learned so much as we read that I had never thought of before! She REALLY liked that chapter :)
>We got to talk to someone we are teaching and she's going though a hard time but she told us about how she prayed and felt comfort and had a dream where she got to worship with Jesus and He held her hand! Wow the spirit man.. SO GOOD
>Got to see Sister Reeves from the MTC!! Wow I love her!
>It rained a LOT this week & one day during dinner after we had been in our apartment a lot, we saw the rain pouring outside & decided to go on a walk! 10/10 would recommend
>We had THE funniest call with a member we called to be a joint teacher with us but then our other friends didn't answer so this guy proceeds to add everyone from his friend list that is online so a bunch of random people start joining the call and they are all so confused lololol it was so funny! He added past missionaries that served here and that was SO funny to see them! It was kinda chaos but he just kept saying, "bro who else should I call?"
>Another funny story: We were filming a painting video for our page and Sister Norton was on camera duty. She kept getting attacked by bugs on her ankles so throughout the video I stop painting to smack bugs on her legs and you can see the camera moving all over the place because they kept biting her! It was so funny but hyper lapse surprisingly hides all of the chaos pretty well!
> This week we got to go to institute & learned about the 11th Article of Faith! If you don't know, the Articles of Faith are the basic beliefs for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! Anyway! The 11th Article of Faith says,
"We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may."
The institute teacher talked about how our church is the true & living church but that we support & defend everyone's right to worship how, where, or what they may! I just think that is so cool! God loves & will bless anyone & everyone that is trying to worship Him & come closer to Him & heck yeah we will defend everyone's right to do that! I know that this church is true because it has a living prophet that God speaks to & that God himself and Jesus Christ lead this church today! I know that it can bring so much JOY to people & that's why we are out here on missions! To share the JOY! I also think it is amazing how God is at work in the lives of ALL OF HIS CHILDREN. Every single one. Bond or free. Make or female. Christian or not. He loves. And He cares. And HE HAS A PLAN! We are just living in it!
Ok I love you all very much & I pray for you to see success in your endeavors & joy in your lives! Have a great week!
Love, Sister Freeman ဖီပြံဝါ
