Merry Christmas!!



Merry Christmas ya filthy animal.

And a happy new year.

Good afternoon mama, papa, family and friends

First off, I hope that you all enjoy this holiday season and that you take a moment to remember the role that our savior plays in Christmas.  Because without Christ it`s just más.

This week was pretty excellent.  Elder Peña and I have been trying really hard to find new investigators since our baptism of five.  It`s been a little rough because that was like a climax of my time here so now I feel like I`m in a in-between point.  We have an investigator who is literally next to the church.  We have been visiting her since I was first here.  Normally we would have left an investigator like her because she didn`t attend church for like 2 months and didn't show the interest.  She was a special exception to that though.  My companion and I both felt that.  She is 20 years old and when we first met her she was 8.5 months pregnant.  Her name is Alix.  She is super sweet.  We saw her outside one day just sitting there.  So we went over to talk to her.  She later said that she had compassion on a gringo trying to talk to her and came over to listen a little more.  haha  Glad that worked out.

She has now attended church for a month straight.  Everything, sacrament, Sunday school, and relief society.  And her son Juan Pablo, is the smallest living homosapien to ever be before my sights.  I have a deep profound love for this woman and her family.  A Christlike love that I will name charity.  She has prayed about our message and received her answer.  She said one night while she was praying her fan fell, no one else was in the room with her.  She said that was all the answer she needed and she is ready to be baptized. I can`t help but chuckle knowing that God responds to OUR prayers how WE need them. So we are preparing the baptism in the ward for the 7th of January.

I am grateful for the opportunity to meet people like Alix and watch as the Lord puts his hand in their lives at his own time and rate.  I have been finding a profound comfort in a verse in Isaiah chapter 41:10 I don`t know it very well in English, but in English it probably says something along the lines of, "fear not, for I the lord God am with you." and that is all I`m going to say about that.

Doubt not ,fear not. D&C 6:36 (I think it`s 36, might be 34 or 35)

Thanks for the prayers and the support have a very merry Christmas.

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...
