Not so many weeks left in Colombia!


Hello.

Glad to here that everything is good.  Except for the stuff that is happening with Grandma that is a real downer.  But I know that things will get better.

This week was great. We´ve been teaching an investigator named Anderson.  He has made the decision to get baptized.  He has worked with many missionaries for almost a year but he said that something is different about us.  He had his baptismal interview and he seems excited and ready for this step.  He will be baptized this next week.  He has asked me to baptize him and that we can do it in the Caribbean sea.  We have to ask permission from our mission president.  I hope we can, but if we can´t it will still be cool to baptize him.  He's awesome. 

We are working really hard on finding new investigators that will take the message seriously.  It´s not hard to find people to listen because everyone wants to hear about Jesus Christ, but people are not committed to the idea that they have to do something.  So my companion and I are moving forward with diligence.  We have transfers this week and I really hope that they don´t transfer me.  I´ve become really comfortable here in Riohacha.

I know that the Savior lives and loves every single last one of us.  He´s the best.  For him I will give my best.

Have the best week I love you guys and I pray for you guys.

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...
