Week 1

 Subject: First Week!


Life in the Home MTC is really not all that bad! I wake up at 6 and try to go on a run, eat some breakfast and then start my first class at 8 AM. This class goes until about 11 AM and then I usually have a little bit of a break to eat some lunch, do companion study, language study etc. At first I was really worried about having too much free time and boredom, but it's the exact opposite! I worry that I don't have enough time to get everything done that I need to!!  My second class doesn't start until 4:30 PM and then it finishes around 7-7:30. After this I usually spend the rest of the day hanging out with my family or doing some more scripture study.

Learning a new language is really difficult! I've been able to say the first vision and pray en espanol! It's all basic stuff but i'm really happy about it jajaja. I can truly say that the gift of tongues is very real. I couldn't imagine that I would be able to hold even a basic conversation in espanol just a week ago, but now I can. I can't wait to see where I'm at when I finish the MTC. 

My companion's name is Elder Ethington and he's a super great guy! He's from Oregon and used to work on a commercial fishing boat in Alaska for like 20 hour days so he's a pretty hard worker hahaha, super epic guy. My district is amazing!! We're all super close already and they are all extremely positive. It makes sharing our testimony's very comfortable and learning espanol is always nice because everybody will always hype you up even when you're pretty bad hahaha. They all have really good humor so we have a really fun time together. There's this Elder named Thor in my district and he's one of those people where you can just watch him and think it's the funniest thing you've ever seen, he always makes my day better. His name is elder Labrum so you can find him in the district picture I attach. 

Other than that I can't say too much has happened here at the Home MTC. 
Remember to pray and remember who makes all things possible, Don't forget to pray! I've really been able to see the power of prayer many times this past week. I'll attach some photos from this week that I thought were pretty noteworth, Enjoy! 

Con Muchisimo Amor
Elder Fuell

 July 11, 2022 _ Mostlikely last letter Haupei! Yeah I can't really believe that I'm writing a letter either. My companion and I have been working harder than ever before and it's really paying off. This last week we found 8 new people, had 12 at church and set a date and a wedding for one of our main homies Freddy. Giving it our all this last little bit I have left. This feels extremely gratifying after first finding this same area with lots of unnecessary ward drama and little to no success in the missionary work.  My time in Paraguay is coming to an end here in a week and a half so I thought I'd write a letter for my final reflection because I really find it unlikely to write two weeks in a row; my mission really changed my life, feels like the pivotal moment of my life. Though I'm ever so excited to be home I'm surely going to miss my friends and companions here in Paraguay, Especially the people and the loving culture.  People don't lie when they say it...

Yukyry - December 13, 2021 and January 10, 2022

 Dec 13, 2021 What's up everybody, First week in Yukyry was super crazy!! The area is massive so we've been walking around a ton. It also happens to be unbelievably hot so and there have been times when we're running late to lessons and we have to be running down these little trails in the jungle and I'll have sweat flowing down my face. It feels like I'm in a weird Tom Cruz movie or something. I found out this week that the most beloved man in Paraguay is apparently Chuck Norris. The work is really good. It feels like Christmas in July so really it feels like the fourth of July and not Christmas. I also decided to learn Italian this week so we'll see where that goes. I've also been working on how long I can hold my breath and the most I've gotten is 1:24. I've been really studying the book of Romans lately and it's been great. Message me! Con Heteiterei Rohayhu, Tujape Fuell Hello everybody  Im doing good and I'm of good health, my parent...

yukywhoooo   Hello Hello! I've really got to get better at writing emails, The biggest news is that I'm getting transferred from Luque 2 to another area in my zone called Yukyry! it's pronounced like jewkooroo & I don't have a clue what it means but im sure i'll figure it out soon enough. I was called as the new District Leader and I'm gonna be with an Elder who just left his training so it should be pretty fun. The best thing I've heard about Yukyry is that it's basically in the jungles and people like to steal the shoes of the rich(er) looking people, so i'm excited! These last 6 months in Luque have definitely been the hardest and the most rewarding of my mission and I'll always look back on it as the area where I grew the most. We had a lot of potential going in the area right now and I tend to be a pretty sentimental person which sucks so leaving always blows but I'm genuinely excited for this next chapter of my mission. I've als...
