Another week in Colombia

Baptizing in the Caribbean Sea
Hello

I´m glad to hear that Grandma is getting better and I will try to send the photos again. Happy Anniversary!! I hope you enjoyed the Kart driving!

This last week was crazy.  I´m sick this week.  I got some sort of weird virus and I have been sick for like 3 days.  It´s given me the squirts and stomach aches with weird side effects.  Like on Sunday my whole body was so sore that I could barely move.  So we went back to my house and I rested.  On Tuesday we had to go to Barranquilla because we got to listen to Elder Stevenson in person.  But to do that we had to sacrifice our family writing time on Monday.  Don´t worry, I love you guys a lot, but he´s an apostle, so there are many things I can learn from this guy.  It was a really cool experience.  His teaching was so simple, but so guided by the spirit.  In the beginning he just looked out at us and said, "I´m relying on the spirit because I don´t have something planned to share with you" and it ended up being a really incredible learning experience.  The apostles are real teachers.  He even cried when he bore his testimony at the end and left us a blessing on the office of the apostles that our families will be okay while we´re serving in the mission. 

I´m excited to see you guys soon, but I am also going to make every day, every hour, every minute, every second, count.  Because I know who I´m serving and why I am serving him.

"Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life."

I´m serving Christ, and I do it because I love him.  Love you guys too.

Have a great week

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...
