Another week in Paradise

He cut us some of his coconuts and we drank from them like kings

Buenas tardes.

Sorry that I couldn`t write you guys yesterday.  We went to the Internet that usually has spots for us to write and they moved.  So we couldn`t write.  But if we can`t write Monday in the afternoon we have the ability to write Tuesday in the afternoon so that you don`t worry to much. 

So yeah, I am still alive.  The pink eye went away really fast so that was nice to get back to work.  I also really enjoyed general conference.  I am also finishing the Book of Mormon this week and I have completed today 14 months of being a missionary and I have been here in Turbaco for 5 months.  It has been a blast.  I really enjoy being a missionary and feeling the spirit with such a strong influence in my life. 

We have been finding a lot of new people to teach in these last few weeks especially families. So that has been getting my companion and I really excited to teach.  We have been having a hard time staying organized with all the lessons with Investigators and Converts and everything.  It`s been a little rough because normally our Elders quorum president leaves with us to work with the new converts and stuff but he has been in prison for the last couple of weeks.  If you could all keep him in your prayers that would be lovely.  (He was just in some political stuff when he was younger so the government is doing an investigation of him right now)

With all of the things I have to do as a missionary such as helping my companion (who has just finished his training), the responsibilities of being a district leader, my own investigators, and on top of that the difficulties that are being presented within the ward.  But I have found so much comfort in my reading of the Book of Mormon and my prayers.  Knowing that if I do my part and magnify my calling I can receive all that the Lord has. 

I know that our Heavenly Father is a God of miracles and I have witnessed so many miracles these last 14 months and I know there are many more to come. 

I pray for all of you and that your lives and families will be blessed I hope that you all read the talks from conference and that the spirit can touch your hearts as it has mine.  I love you all.  Cuídense.

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...
