Elder David Fuell's Blog

Cartagena is insane.  It´s been soo fun. It is very beautiful and the people here are super nice.  They all talk a little differently here.  Fish in Spanish es pescado.  Here they say pescao. They don´t use directions or street names or numbers.  They try explaining where things are in relation with other things. We ask them where they live and they say, oh do you know where the bar is in San Pedro? we say yes, then they say, go there and you go like 4 more streets to the right and you can take a left and there´s a park.  I live in front of that park in a blue house.  If you can´t find the house just ask my neighbors for my name. So it has been really interesting. The food is really good and we´re working really hard we have found a lot of new investigators and families that are really nice.  My companion is also really great.  This morning we made homemade tortillas it was awesome. Don´t have anymore time, sorry.  Have...

  Elder Fuell and his District in Santo Tomas area Bye bye last week. Hello Cartegena. We had transfers so I was in a bus for 2 hours and came to Cartegena. My new companion is Elder Monforte de Mériden Mexico.  He´s pretty cool so I´m excited.  Sorry to dad, but I don´t have an address exact of where we are staying because nobody here knows the addresses.  (I actually have a funny story about that) Today I was in a bus with another gringo that has less time than me in the mission and we had no idea where we were.  We were on a bus for 30 an hour to an area called Turbaco and we talked to a guy on the bus about the church and he was really interested, but we had no idea where to tell him to go to find a church so I gave him a card and said go find the truth.  And he went his way. It was an interesting day. The last week in my old area was awesome.  The family that cooked us lunch and dinner their daughter was baptized ...

It was great talking to Dave.  We actually got a surprise email on Saturday asking us if we were online ready to chat.  Of course we panicked but it worked out that everyone except Katie could be there to take to Dave.  He was really happy and he's having a great time on his mission.   It was absolutely fantastic to talk to you guys this last week.  Sorry that we didn´t have a lot of time, but I still enjoyed it personally. There were a few things I forgot to mention.   1. If you could send me small hymn books in English that would be great 2. I got my camera stolen, I left it here in the Internet cafe and when we came back looking for it the lady said someone just walked off with it. 3. I forgot to tell you guys about how there are always a ton of mosquito's in my bathroom and how I always leave after I took a shower and my hands are bloody. And I learned personally why we don´t do our skype on mothers day.  Because Colombi...
