Week 2

 Hello everybody!


Week two in the home MTC was even better than the first! We taught a lot of lessons in spanish and even talked to a few people from colombia and mexico! They were being paid by the Mexico MTC to act like non members so we could teach them in spanish. It can be pretty scary but it always ends up just fine and is always quite an experience. My companion Elder Ethington (Sethington) has a really bad connection a lot of the time so we usually have to plan for him to cut out at some point during the lesson, it can be tricky but it always keeps us prepared! 

This week brought some new high's and some new low's. There are some days where I have no motivation to do anything and I want to vomit whenever I see any word in spanish. You don't have a companion next to you to help you to keep motivated so it makes it really important to be self reliant, which can be very difficult but as long as I accept my new life with faith and hope, I will be blessed.  Other than that I really can't complain about my experience thus far. My district is full of the most incredibly strong people and we always have a blast together. A lot of them have shared their life stories with me and some of the trials they have had to get through to even get on a mission makes all my little drama in high school seem like a fairy tale. The faith they all show is truly helping my testimony immensely.

 A dear friend of mine invited me to take journaling a little more seriously while i'm on my mission and it's really helped a lot, especially with remembering what to write for this email. He also shared a really great talk by Elder Eyring about the importance of journaling that I think you should all read or listen to. 

Other than that I can't say too much has happened, I've been able to go and play some basketball with some missionaries including some guys in my district for the past two weeks and it's been super fun and I'll include some pictures of us and other miscellaneous noteworthy moments from this week. I hope you're all doing great and enjoying your time! Don't be afraid to reach out because I love and miss hearing from everyone! Also I won in a spanish Kahoot game and I'm really proud of myself.

Con muchísimo 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...
