I don't think I've ever eaten so much delicious
food in one week all my life. And as my subject line states, I think
I've found the perfect pizza. The pizza place is called Frank Pepe's
Pizza and it's only in CT. But WOW. A member took us out to eat there on
Saturday for lunch and we each ate an entire pizza. And I loved every
minute of it. But brace yourselves for 500 lb Hermana Frei... It's great.
But
really though, our members just love us so much, so they feed us their
entire kitchen every time we come over. It got so bad one time that Hna
Kemp hid some nasty plantains in a napkin, shoved 'em up her skirt, and
ran to the bathroom to flush it down the toilet. It was quite the circus
act. She has skills, what can I say? Haha, it was so funny. And people
will give us food to take home with us as well. Like right now we have a
million cupcakes and Brazilian bon-bons in our fridge. The struggle is
so real.
The other day I knew that we were
going to eat A LOT. So that morning I prayed that I would be able to get
through it all and not feel terrible. And lo and behold, that night Hna
Kemp was moaning and groaning and I could have eaten another Hispanic
meal! God provides, and he helps us bear our burdens. He really does
care about us, no matter how trivial the problem may seem.
But
other than that, the work is moving forward! Mostly we have been
visiting people so that they can say good bye to Hna Kemp, but our
lessons have been great! We have Rodrigo committed to pray about a
baptismal date, and we are now teaching his sister as well! So pray for
them! We have had 2 members at each of their lessons this past week,
which is so awesome. Sometimes it's hard to find just 1 member, and now
everyone wants to help! Gotta love it!
But
this next week should be interesting. It's time for the changing of the
guard in Bridgeport. Saturday night the text came, and my new companion
is........... Hna Heileson! She is serving in New Haven right now, but
she is in our zone, so I already know who she is. I'm thinking that this
next transfer is gonna be full of miracles. And we are going to work
HARD. But yeah, I will officially "kill" Hna Kemp on Wednesday, and then
on Thursday Hna Heileson and I are gonna hit the ground running.
I
appreciate all of the love and support I receive from all y'all! This
church is so true. And like I said before, God cares about us. No matter
what our circumstances may be. Whether you're an over-fed missionary in
Bridgeport, or [insert your circumstances here] God loves us all the
same. He may not take away your burdens, but He will give you strength
to bear them.
Con amor,
Hermana Frei
