Well folks, here we are again! At this point you're probably wondering, "Why is she still writing?" Sorry if my letters are redundant sometimes. BUT! This week was super great! Let me tell you about the adventures of Barney&Frei:

We got so many members involved in the work! The reason for the title of my email this week is that we had a musical fireside that we as missionaries affectionately nick-named (fun fact: nick-name in spanish is "sobre nombre" rhyme-o!) "Jammin' 4 Jesus". Unfortunately it didn't fly with the local leadership, but we do what we want (kind of). The fireside was a hit! I was able to get one of my digi gators from Venezuela to skype in and he LOVED it. We talked to him afterwards and he told us he was jammin out on his guitar with Bro. Ferrin and he learned some new songs. Rad stuff. We had him skype in on the Bishop's phone who served in Venezuela! (The Bishop not the iPhone...) So they had a nice chat and it was cool. It's not every day that you have an international musical fireside, you know what I'm saying? 

More exciting stories from the week: the other day we were teaching a lesson with our good Puerto Rican friend and he has had a lot of doubts about Joseph Smith and he was just going off on us. Finally I just couldn't stand it anymore. The Spirit wasn't present and I was ready to walk out of his apartment. I demanded his respect and said, basically, "HEY! Listen!" I got in his face, and I told him about how precious our time is and told him to look at my nametag. I told him that I have 4 months left to be a full-time representative of Jesus Christ and if he didn't want to hear it then I wasn't going to waste mine or the Lord's time. Tears were streaming down my face as I bore witness of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and asked him if he would allow us to speak and share the message we have been called to share. It really humbled him and he apologized up and down and we will continue to teach him. We challenged him to read the Book of Mormon and find out for himself, and he said that if he receives a witness then he will be willing to be baptized. So that was cool :) Idk, I guess it has really hit me these past few weeks that my days are numbered as a full-time missionary. Everyday is a precious gift. 

Yesterday we went with our good friend, German to go teach a lady that he ran into at Dunkin Doughnuts. The result of that visit was 2 more potential investigators, a LOT of Bachata music, a few selfies, and all sorts of good times. German is hilarious. We were taking the selfie and he was all, "Wait! Let me make my face beautiful!" Just so you are all aware, I sent the selfie with his "beautiful" face. You're welcome. 

Haha, anyways, I can't stress to you all enough how important members are! This week I had an epiphany! It is SO important that I learn how to help members to share the gospel, because the more I learn how to teach them, the easier it will be for me to share the gospel for the rest of my life. I love being a full-time missionary, but also I'm excited to be a member missionary! Right now is just the training grounds. If you want to learn how to share the gospel.... ASK THE MISSIONARIES!

Lol.

I love you all! I love my savior, and I am grateful for his sacrifice. Keep the faith! 

Con amor,

Hermana Frei
