Another week in Colombia ( I think we already knew that)



Hola,

So, we survived the week stuck in the house.  I just studied a lot.  I started the book of Mormon over again and I am already in 2 Nephi.  I want to be in Alma before the year is over. 

While we were in the house I cooked a lot of pancakes and I beat my companion in checkers every day.  He finally won last night.  So it´s good to know that he´s improving.  I also wrote a lot in my notes and read a lot of conference talks.

We called one of our investigators and invited her to church and she hung up the phone on us so we didn´t have anyone in the church this week.  But we have a lot of energy and we are really excited to get this week moving.  We left the house yesterday to go to the church and after we went to some members houses to eat and there were people every where in the streets with paint all over them.  They stood in big groups and wouldn't let you pass unless you gave some coins.  Another thing was if the moto taxis didn´t give them coins they would throw paint at them and everyone in the taxi.  Half of the streets were just roadblocked by people doing things like that.  It was a little crazy, but they said it was normal.  So okay.  Also there have been a bunch of little parades that go on in front of our house.  It´s been an interesting week.

But I have been praying for you guys a lot this week I hope you all have the most incredible week and I will pray for you all a ton.

Con muchisimo amor,

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...
