Another week in Colombia



Well, We have many promising investigators that are reading, attending church, and praying in order to find out what the truth is.  I am so absolutely convinced that if someone reads, goes to church, and prays with sincerity with real intent and with faith they will receive an answer.  I have always seen people get answers from God when they do those things even though they are so simple.  It`s the way to find out if God exists.

Also, my companion has been doing a little bit better.  He gets really discouraged.  Something that made me laugh the other day is that he was getting really discouraged that he can`t pronounce the word discouraged in English. haha  I help him out with that a little bit with his English.

Also, I had an ingrown toenail this last week so they sent me to a clinic and they gave me a pedicure and cut up a part of my toe.  I tried taking it out myself, but it didn`t work.  But the pedicure was nice. 

We had a stake conference this last week and it was incredible.  The spirit was so strong.  He made the missionaries stand up in front of the whole stake.  I was in my first area and I had the opportunity to see a lot of old friends and feel the spirit of friendship.  I also had the chance to see some old converts and I was happy to see that some are still attending and feeling of this same spirit.

I know this Church is true.  I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God and I know Russel M. Nelson is a prophet of God.  Thanks for all your support and prayers.  I love you guys.

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...
