Alright..When?



Good evening,


Alright, this week has been crazy busy.  We have had lesson after lesson after lesson everyday and when we are not in lessons we are searching for people that the Lord will place in our paths.  We have a family we have been teaching and they came to church this last Sunday and they are progressing really well (Familia San Juan).  We had the mom, one of the daughters and her 18 year old son who lives like 20 minutes away.  Her son was way cool.  And we had an experience with him that I will never forget.  We were talking with him about missionary work and he thought it was really cool.  He was wondering if he would be able to do something like that.  So we told him if he is baptized and actively participates within the church, that after a year he could have the opportunity to serve a mission.  This was his response, "Okay, Cuando?" ( Alright...When?).  We were a little confused but he was wondering when he could be baptized.  So we asked if we could have a lesson with him after church and we taught about the doctrine of Christ the need of baptism and a couple commandments and he was super excited about all of it.  His date for baptism is the 19th of November.  I really hope he progresses.  His mom and dad need to get married before she can be baptized though.  Marriages are really hard here because they cost a bit of money.

Halloween here doesn`t seem that different than the U.S.. There are a ton of kids running around in costumes and drunk people everywhere.  We have Tiendas (little stores) on every other corner and they sell all kinds of basic household needs and beer so there is always people passed out on the corners outside of the tiendas with a pack of toilet paper as a pillow. haha

Tell Janaye and Tom to keep themselves busy and they`ll forget about me.  Tell them I think about them sometimes when I am testifying of eternal families.  Keep up the good work.  Not much more to report this week.  I am happy, healthy, working hard, the food is delicious as always.

Today I saw a giant iguana that was pretty cool.  They climb trees so that kind of freaked me out.  Also can you guys send me family pictures and or pictures of my baptism.  Family vacations or things like that.  Visual things like that help investigators to understand that as missionaries we still have families and lives like normal people.

I pray for you guys every night.  I hope you have opportunities to serve others.  Have a good week. =)

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...
