It snowed.

Lets just all appreciate the subject line of this week... Yes. It has gotten pretty chilly quite rapidly. Like last week we went to Boston for pday and it was high 70s and I didn't even need a sweater. Now look where we are. Good grief, Charley Brown. But it's so great! Fall is upon us! After our run a few days ago, Sister Barney and I stopped to gather some leaves off the ground and they are BEAUTIFUL. Holy smokes. New England is the best place in the world. 

Also, more news: we got 3 New Investigators! The power of asking for referrals and visiting part member families! 

GUYS. THE FIELD IS WHITE.

Do you realize that? 

I realized that I haven't mentioned one of my favorite books in a while... The Power of Everyday Missionaries! Our good friend Clay lets us know that God's promise that the field is white and ready to harvest doesn't have an expiration date. And I know that is true. These past few weeks have been such an eye opener for me. 

Update on our people:
  • Jimmy is on date for October 31st! Happy Halloween, you know what I'm saying? :) He's a super good dude, just trying to be a better husband and father. The entire family is super excited to one day be sealed in the temple. 
  • Juan is sooo stoked for December 5th! On Friday we went over to his house and his cute lil' mom taught us how to make tamales... We made like 80 tamales to feed the 5000 at the International Night that we had on Saturday! It was AWESOME. Have you ever wondered how cheese gets in the middle pupusas and frijoles get in the middle of tamales? Yeah, me too. But my eyes have been opened! 
  • We met with Ennobel, our miracle dude who showed up at church and he's great. Taught him the restoration, he loved it. There are so many people in his apartment just waiting to hear the gospel. I can feel it. Also, the less-active man that brought him to church is SO COOL. We had dinner with him and his family and it was a blast! They are the coolest little family and they just love each other. Literally the only thing that could make their lives better is the gospel. Like, really. 
So many great things are happening and life is beautiful. I know that God lives, He is real and He loves us. His plan is perfect, His promises are sure. Hold to the Iron Rod!

Con amor,


Hermana Frei
