Last
week on P-day after I emailed you guys we went to downtown Bridgeport
and took pictures of the vast collection of graffiti. Complete with our
matching Bridgeport tshirts we bought. I don't think I have ever felt so
white in my life. But it was so fun! I feel like I fit in here in
Bridgeport because I'm used to living in the ghetto. Some YW in my ward
said that they go to the ghetto schools, and I was like HEY ME TOO.
Haha, good ol' B-town. Gotta love it.
Something
that I did not expect at all when I came to New England was the large
number of giant, ancient churches on nearly every corner. There are like
30 HUGE stone churches all over the place. And they all look like they
have been there since the beginning of time. It's crazy! They are just
so pretty and awe-inspiring. Also, there is the cutest old cemetery in
the middle of town. I just want to stroll through it and read the names
on the ornate headstones. But Hermana Kemp thinks I'm weird. So we
haven't added that to our list of P-day activities... YET.
Update
on the zoo service: WE FINISHED THE ROOF. And we took a picture, but
Dave hasn't sent it to us yet... But it is coming. It looks so awesome!
Update
on the work: it's coming along. Bridgeport is a little sleepy when it
comes to missionary work, but we keep ourselves busy. Yesterday at
church we had 100 people at Sacrament Meeting though! It was a Christmas
Miracle if I've ever seen one. We found our lost investigator named
Rodrigo and started teaching him this week. WHICH IS AWESOME. Just keep
him in your prayers if you can.
Also, if you
guys need any help getting motivated to share the gospel at home I would
recommend my favorite book: "The Power of Everyday Missionaries" by
Clayton Christensen. READ IT. It will change your life. LITERALLY my
life is changed right now. (I forget if I've already advertised this
book, so if I have just know that I am absolutely LOCO about it.)
I
love you all so much. As President Uchtdorf said in the Women's General
Meeting the weekend, we are all God's children with divine potential.
And if you are wondering if you need to keep EVERY commandment, he
suggests it... Haha, I just love our apostles and prophet. Especially
when President Uchtdorf mentioned "eenstergram." They are adorable. SO
STOKED FOR #genconf RIGHT NOW.
Ok, but really
though, I love you all. Sometimes I try to pray for everybody
individually and then I realize I've been praying for 20 minutes and
it's way past my bed time or half way through personal study... But I
really do try, and I really do love you.
Love (because I can't say that word enough!),
Hermana Frei
