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.
