Birthday Transfers

Thanks for the birthday wishes! This week was great.  I had a lot of cake on Sunday, one of them I bought myself to share with the members at church.  (The members here don`t have very much money so I thought it would be nice to share on my birthday)  It was really fun.  We worked a normal Sunday and went to a small town called Polo nuevo and worked. 

While we were in Polo nuevo the assistents to the president called us to tell us that I had transfers.  I am currently in Santa Marta.  It`s another city north of Barranquilla.  It`s a beautiful city, I live right up on the coast.  I literally can go running with my companion every day a long the caribbean sea.  Currently we live in a small apartment with 4 missionaries.  My companion and I are going apartment shopping because someone broke into the old apartment a few weeks back.  So we have to have an apartment in less than a week or we get kicked out of our area.

My new companion is Elder Ramos from Peru.  He seems like a great guy and it looks like we are going to baptize here soon so that´s exciting.

I love the experience that you had this last week mom.  In all truth that is exactly how we feel when we leave from a powerful lesson.  I love how the spirit can guide everyone to a land of promise and that we have to be willing to make that change.  Don`t worry if the progress is slow conversion takes time.  One spiritual experience after another until our spiritual seed becomes a tree. Alma 32.

I love you Mom and fam and I love this Gospel, I know it´s true!  I don`t change hearts or people, I just bring a message that does. Have a great week!

Con muchisimo amor,

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...
