I have so many thoughts going through my head right now, I
don't even know where to start, so much to say. I guess the most exciting thing
is that I got called to be the Zone Leader in the Niangon Nord Zone. To say the
least I'm kinda freaking out in every way. I'm super excited to have this
awesome opportunity but I'm also kinda nervous. I guess change is kinda hard
and I feel a little pressure to be the best I can be but I know I'm called here
for a reason. I'm worried about people disrespecting me and not knowing what advice
to give people. I know I just gotta work hard and be the best I can be and then
God will help me and the Spirit will Guide.
Niangon Nord is the biggest zone in
the mission and it even encompasses some villages and fun stuff like that. I
will get to do splits in places where white missionaries aren't even allowed to
go which will be interesting. My new companion is from Haiti and his name is
Elder Cola. I honestly know nothing about him yet I've only been here for like 2
hours. Next week i'll give a good update on him!
I'm going to really miss Koweit though. I love that place so
much. I loved my companion I loved my apartment, I loved our amis, I loved
everything about it. Ill never forget the sun beating down on me and making me
sweat so much that it felt like I jumped into a swimming pool. It made putting
sunscreen on kinda pointless because it just came off as soon as I stepped
outside. But really I was just so comfortable there I'm going to miss it. Most
importantly the experiences I had there I will never forget. I found God in
Koweit.
We had a Zone Conference this past week and in every Zone
Conference our President calls on someone randomly to give a short talk and he
chose me to give the talk. I decided to talk about integrity. I love this
characteristic and I think its something as missionaries we need to have. I
talked about the example of the stripling warriors. It talks about them being
true and honest in all things and at all times. I shared that as Disciples of
Christ, which WE ALL are, we must follow this example. We need to be honest, we
need to be hard working, we need to be obedient to the commandments.
I love you guys. I am especially happy to have you guys on my
team right now as I start this new adventure. Thanks for praying for me!
Bises,
Elder Freedman
