Who needs hurricanes anyway???!



First off, Congratulations to Dallin and Lexie!  I am sure that I am not the first to say it but Lexie is going to have her hands full for eternity.  Best of luck haha. ;)

Sounds like you guys had an interesting week, and I think it`s cool that we can be watching conference at the same time even though I am on a different continent.  I did have the ability to watch it in English so that was also very nice.  Be sure to tell Cade Ashton that my Spanish has improved.  And Janaye can tell my friend Chris not to send me any potato's.  We eat a lot of potato's here.  And it`s good to hear that Sierra is a super senior.  Haha nube. ;)

This week has been a blast.  That news just topped it off.  I`m starting to pick up the pace a little more.  The Spanish is better the work is a little harder yet all the more rewarding and my companion and I have been getting along really well.  I came to find out that he was in the Bolivian military before his mission, which explains his seriousness sometimes and his desire to be obedient.  He was in charge of teaching hand to hand combat so I love to ask him what he would do in different scenarios if I had a weapon haha.

This week has been very wet.  I was probably the last person to find out that we were under a hurricane for this past week.  Hurricane Mateo.  The thing that stinks with the rain is that we have to be inside because the streets turn into rivers.  But it was a great opportunity to practice my Spanish.  Conference was awesome.

We have three new rocking investigators who have baptismal dates for the 28th of October.  One of them, Amanda was super prepared by the lord for us and we were super lucky to meet her.  We tried ringing her doorbell twice and my companion said let`s go but I felt like we should try one more time.  So I yelled in buenas and it was a good thing I did because the doorbell didn`t work haha. 

The guy in the center with his mom is our current investigator Jonas who we woke up and pulled him out of bed.  The rest are members and less actives.  This is my family here and they treat me really well.


Life is good, I have made like 15 arepas this week, and bought one at a panadería (bakery) super good.  My companion always says, "¿Cual es su problema hombre?" and I always respond with, "Mi solamente problema in mi vida es que yo soy muy guapo."  Haha he loves that.

I pray for you guys every day and I often have a flashback or two of home for a second when a Chevy blazer drives by blasting the Beatles.  (They have a lot of Chevy blazers around here)

Hasta Próximo semana,

Con muchisimo amor,
Elder Fuell

Another Week in Colombia

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...
