Anyways,
as promised, this week has been way interesting. My flights from Mexico
to Boston were long and uneventful. At my layover in Atlanta Hermana
Webb and I parted ways. It was weird. We had an awkward hug and that was
that. And we both flew off into the sunset. Actually there was no
sunset because it was like 1 pm.
But that's besides the point. At the Boston airport Hermana Bybee and I
found the rest of the group of new missionaries from Provo and our
mission president! The Packards are way awesome. I laughed and I cried
on my first day. It's the usual.
On Tuesday
night we stayed in the mansion of the Boston Stake President. Literal
mansion. Think MTV cribs. It was so gorgeous. Like they had a pool
house. I thought that was only a thing in the the board game "Clue." But
I have been wrong before. And I HAD A REAL AMERICAN BREAKFAST. You have
no idea how special it was to me. Wednesday we had a bunch of
information about mission rules and what-not thrown at us, and we went
to the Boston Common for an hour and talked to people. Hermana Bybee and
I gave away a Book of Mormon and several mormon.org
cards. Mostly it was just fun to talk to people. There was one guy who
was street performing and playing a hurdy-gurdy. Look it up. It was the
coolest little thing. And the City of Boston is so pretty! And yeah, it
was a fun little baptism by fire.
To get
assigned trainers Pres. Packard had to interview all 30 of the new
missionaries to decide who to put them with. It was way cool, And my
interview was very special. He gave me some great counsel and I am way
excited to be here. And I told him my plans to become a doctor and now
he calls me Dr. Frei. Excellent. :)
That
night was transfer meeting and got my trainer! Her name is Hermana Kemp
and she only has one more transfer on the mission! But she isn't
trunky, or doesn't appear to be, so that's good. But that means I get my
training squished into 6 weeks instead of 12. But it's good times so
whatever. We had a 3 hour drive to Bridgeport that night and didn't get
home until 2:30 am. And we had to get up at 6:30
so I am still catching up on sleep from that. But here in Bridgeport we
have a full Spanish ward. And it is the cutest! The past few days have
been kinda slow, but we have this week all filled up for the most part.
We work a lot with less-actives, we have like 2 investigators, one I
just met last night, and one with a baptismal date for the middle of
October before Hermana Kemp skidaddles. So yeah. Basically fun for the
whole family. On Thursdays we get to play Bingo with old people in a day
care for the elderly. It made my day last Thursday! And one of our
recent converts is from Spain and he doesn't form complete words. So I
have no idea what he is saying ever.
So yeah,
the work is moving forward here in the MBM (Massachusetts Boston
Mission) and it's starting to get cooler here. I am just bracing myself
for the leaves to turn. BRACE YOURSELVES!!! Sorry I wasn't able to take
any cool pics this week, but you get what you get I guess.
This
week I started reading the Book of Mormon with an emphasis of Tender
Mercies of the Lord. And it is amazing. I recommend. I know that God has
blessed me with so many tender mercies in my life. It's insane. And He
does it because He loves us. I literally stand all amazed.
Have a great week!
Love,
Hermana Frei
P.S. I met the Vails! They are so nice.
