What the Pastor said

 

On this last trip, I met one of our great friends on the Coast,

a pastor who is in charge of scores of churches

in an area very much affected by the conflict.

 

Sister Fiona, I think you are getting fat, he said.

I know, I replied, but then I have been on the Coast for five days

(=eaten lots of rice!).

 

No, no, it’s good that you are fat, he went on,

It means that people at home will know

that you are prospering here in Colombia.

 

I am prospering here in Colombia

but I would rather not get fat to prove it.
