Another 1 Percent



This week one of the guys in my room elder Eyring (and yes he´s related to president Eyring, and he´s going to my mission.  Pretty cool guy.)  was talking about how since there are 52 weeks in a year that means that 104 weeks would be a mission.  So almost every week counts as 1 percent.  

It has been raining a lot this week and some parts in the ceiling have been leaking.  Elder Sandquist got wet, Elder Williams in my district woke up in a puddle.  So him and his companions changed rooms.

The other day we were playing volleyball because we play volleyball a lot and I blocked elder Monson who is like 6´8 so I was feeling pretty happy about that.  

Also, we have been translating English phrases into Spanish and it has been really funny.  One day during a lecture about Spanish subjunctive (which still makes no sense) me and elder Monson were joking around and he wrote in his journal and showed it to me it said, "Te odio" which means "I hate you." After applauding his clever remark I responded in my journal with, "usted es una herramienta" which means, " you are a tool"  our maestro confiscated our journals but congratulated my creativity after we explained what a tool was to him.  Haha


Story time,

Last night I accidentally rolled over in my sleep and rolled off of the top bunk.  It was pretty terrifying but I landed on my feet so I was good.  I then proceeded to start sleeping on the floor when one of the Latinos in my room said, "¿Qué pasó?" So I talked to him for a second and climbed my bunk and went back to bed.  I almost forgot to tell him about it in the morning.

I´m getting more and more pumped up everyday that I put on my tag.  Not only to get up and go study with my friends, but because of what a represent and who I represent.  The days may get longer and harder, but I have the lord on my side and my mothers (and families and friends) prayers.

Church is true, I love you.

Another Week in Colombia

Image
The group of missionaries leaving the Colombia Barranquilla Mission on 7/17/18 7/17/18 Elder David Fuell is on his way home.  We have enjoyed watching David learn the culture of Colombia and learn to love the people there.  His smile tells us that he loved the people he worked with and learned to appreciate a different way of life.  I know he has testified many times in these last two years about the truthfulness of the gospel and spent the last two years sharing that testimony of his.  We echo his testimony and am so glad David chose to go on a mission.  He didn't have to go.  He did not get paid and there is no earthly reward for dedicating your life for two years to the Lord.  But he went anyway!  We love David and are excited to learn of the things he experienced and the great people he taught and loved.  A las Colombianos que ayudaran a Elder Fuell, gracias y que Dios te bendigas siempre.  Con amor, The Fuells 7/16/18 ...

Two weeks of posts and only two weeks left

July 2, 2018 Sounds like everyone else is doing good.  I am also doing good. I have been spending a lot of time in my house because of the world cup, but it's been some good study time and a lot of reflecting time.  Even though my companion and I haven't had a lot of time to get out to work we have a baptism this week and a possible baptism next week.  His name is Carlos. He's really cool.  He cracks me up.  He is 17 years old and he sometimes is really lazy, but he wants to improve in everything.  Since he is 17 his mom had to sign his permission this week to have his interview and when she went to sign it she stopped and said, "You know that this is a really important decision.  Are you sure you want to do this?" He looked down, put his face in his hands for like 5 seconds looked up at us and at her and said, "Sign it." Without even a look of hesitation in his face.  Then while she was writing it he said "No! I don't want to do it!...

Another week in Colombia

Happy late 4th of July.  Hope that it was really cool. Sorry about the heat there sounds like Cartegena. This week was wild.  We have some new investigators that were referrals from the Bishop and they are a couple and they drink A LOT.  The first time we went to their was almost 3 weeks ago.  When we got there they were really drunk and telling us that they wanted to change their lives.  So we started talking to them about the Plan of Salvation and the word of wisdom.  We left them a pamphlet and came back another day to teach more.  The next time we passed by their house they had completely stopped drinking.  They said that they felt something when we taught them and it was enough reason for them to stop drinking.  This last week they attended church for the first time and they loved it.  We taught them about the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph smith this last week and they were quiet until the end of the lesson and they b...
