Another two weeks in Colombia

 12/18/2017



Today we had transfers and I am once again in Barranquilla.

I´m in a small town called Baranoa just outside of the city.  It´s not the same as Santo Tomas but it´s pretty close.

It was a quick transfer and I didn´t get to say goodbye to everyone over there in Turbaco, but I´ll miss that place.

This last week we were working a lot with a friend of our ward mission leader named Erik and things were starting to go really well with him and he attended church on Sunday, but I will just say some prayers and hope that his heart was being changed by the Gospel and not by us and that he will continue to make the changes. 

I am super pumped to watch that new star wars when I get home.  I love star wars and miss it dearly.  But sometimes I have the pleasure of finding other star wars fans out here in the mission field and we have some delightful intergalactic conversations.

I am excited to talk to the family this week and even more excited to be a representative of Jesus Christ during this time.  I know he lives.  I know his plan is perfect and that these two years I am giving are nothing compared to the eternities we are saving.

MARY CRIMPS AND JOLLS NEW YEAR.

I received one with the shaving cream, smarties, socks, and letters.  I have another that is waiting for me in Barranquilla.  I´m going there Wednesday. 

Congrats to Tom for being a new Thai guy.  What time do you want me to call you guys the 23rd I can do it at any time you guys want.

I had a spiritual experience that I can tell you about on the 23rd because it would be better to talk about then to write. =)

This week was also normal.  We did a service every day this week and my zone leaders called me and told me that I need to do less services.  So that´s a good thing I think.

Not much to report this week.  Thanks for the smarties and stuff.  I made you guys a video this week with elder Rapp´s camera, but it may or may not be able to send vids this week.  Sorry.  Next week should be better.

You guys need to ask more questions about this place because I am sure everything here would be really crazy to you guys but it´s all becoming super normal to me now.

I love you all and I hope you all have the most amazing week.

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...
