Happy Pioneer Day!!


Hello Everyone!!

Sounds like everything is good for you guys and I am really glad.
Sorry about the short letter last week.  So I am still with the same
companion and everything.  My companion is a new missionary like I
said and he took a shower at 4:30 in the afternoon so we were late to
get the internet, wrote our president letters, and it
was already 6 so I had to go.

Sometimes things like that happen during training.  But we had a
baptism this last week! Sorry I don´t have any photos.  It was super
jam packed this last week we didn´t have time to pass by the house for
a camera because we would have been late to the baptism.

His name is Clemente and he´s 61 years old and the coolest guy ever.
Him and his wife have been progressing for a while now.  They had
their baptismal interview this last week and she had chosen to wait because she still had been drinking coffee.  Its a hard thing to overcome.  When she told us, she told her husband because he
didn´t know either.  She had been drinking when he wasn´t home.  And
he said that he still needed to be baptized because he had his dream
he knew it was true.  So he was baptized this last Saturday.  Right
now we are working with his wife and she really wants to stop drinking
coffee but it´s a little rough for her.  Keep her in your prayers this
week.

We´re working really hard here.  In whatever conditions.  It´s been
raining a lot and I have had a small cold, but my companion gave me a
blessing so I feel better.

Saludos a la familia y todos

Hope everyone stays safe and well,
Chao chao

P.S. I lost myself in the work a long time ago.  The weeks pass like hours here.

Another Week in Colombia

Image
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...
