Another Week in Colombia

=)

Helloooo.

So the subject is another week in colombia.  I honestly feel like this was another week in colombia.  We´ve been working really hard this last week and we had intercambios this week (transfers).  I was giving it my all because I had a ton of time in Turbaco and I thought maybe I am leaving.  So I was working really hard hoping that if someone else gets to Turbaco they will be really grateful that I was there. 

We were working a lot with a certain family this week,  The Contreras family.
They are great, they just aren´t sure what they want.  They are trying to attend another church and our church at the same time.

Just in case you don´t know... I am a person who´s not a fan of indecision.  So this has been a patience ride for me.  But it´s all good.  So I didn´t get transferred and my companion and I will end up having six months together.  Pray that we have patience with eachother we are two very different people.  But I know that all will work out because the focus is on the work.

Also I don´t know if you guys remember the last time I was stuck inside for a week in Barranquilla? Yeah I have to do that again here.  So we will be stuck inside for like 5 days.  Also we are still working on starting up a small branch so that is super cool.  I have also been cooking a lot of pancakes recently. 

We have had water up until now, and we still have water.  I pray for the strength and patience and that our heavanly father will take care of the little things around me for this transfer because I will be very busy.

I will now send photos.(Which he never sent)

Please have the most incredibly joyful week and I will pray, testify, and think of you all often.

MOM: could you send these emails to Tay? Also I can talk to you guys for an hour on the 23rd 24th or 25th we can choose what day you guys want.  And whatever hour you guys want, but a side note is that the 25th everything is closed down around here so it would be impossible to skype. 

Also tell my siblings I miss them heaps and think of them often and that they should send me reeses peanut butter cups.  I miss those.

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...
