Two teenagers, 1 apartment, 1 week, and we couldn't leave.



This week was super interesting.

So Monday was our first day locked in our apartment (last week I explained why....carnival) We bought a ton of food to make just in case we got hungry and tons of stuff to clean our apartment.  I was a little sick so we called a pharmacy and they delivered me some pills for my cold.  I finished the last of them today and still have a little bit of a cold so I don´t trust Colombian medicine anymore than American.

We read the scriptures a ton.  I didn´t read the scriptures at all in English.  It´s been a little weird because I sometimes look at things in English and Spanish and I can´t tell the difference anymore because I am just reading them both like they´re the same.

I started the Book of Mormon again and I am reading in chapter 8 of 1st Nephi.  All we could do with our investigators was call them and we had one come to church yesterday with her daughter. (Yes we could leave for church then we went back and couldn´t leave again until this morning)
 
My companion and I got a long super well.  We have transfers this week and I am sure we are going to get transferred because when you get a long well with your companion is when you don´t spend a lot of time together.  I don´t know if I told you guys but before his mission he worked as a graphic designer with his dad so we talk about Photoshop all the time.  Also he likes tons of music from the United states so we talk about music a lot too.

This week he was studying English a ton with me.  It was super funny he kept on smiling until I asked him "hey, que tal?"(Hey!  Whats up) and he would say something way weird in English like, "I will whip you" or "I will spank you."  I just continue to have to explain to him what he's saying is weird.  I imagine I said a lot of weird things in Spanish when I got here. 

And as for my testimony, I now know.  I know with a surety that these things are true.  And I have to go now.  But that is the best part of this week.  Is that it´s not only a testimony it´s a knowledge.

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...
