Henry & his chuletas de cerdo!

 


¡Mis amigos!


First and foremost, here are the updates on the ghost: our fire alarms have gone off twice, our heater shutting off, some random European chocolates found on our dinner table and no one was home to put them there (we were kinda hyped about this but the chocolates were nasty, still a thoughtful gift from the ghost though), 2 dog poop steps, car battery dying, and a missed bus which isn't entirely the ghosts fault but I'm blaming it nonetheless. Other than the ghost, this week was super great! 

On friday I got the opportunity to give my first blessing to a member who is in a wheelchair. Him and his mom were so thankful and the spirit felt there was so strong. I was a little nervous about getting all the words right but I had faith and I know god did the rest. 

Edgar, the pastor from Colombia we've been teaching has been a dream. We were able to teach him twice this week and he really grasped onto the book of mormon and loved the fact that it was based in the Americas. Everytime we have a lesson with him we can feel the spirit so so strongly and know that we didn't meet him just by accident. Divine intervention is real!! 

Thanks to facebook we were also able to meet a lady who currently lives in Uganda named Okot. We taight her the first two lessons & she told us the missionaries gave her a book of mormon when she was a teenager but lost it and was super grateful when we told her about gospel library. She's the sweetest lady who says "Amen" and "Hallelujah" after almost anything you teach hahah. 

I also decided I'm going to read all of Isaiah in the old testament. It's the most grueling and the hardest to understand but the bible is HUGE down here in dallas and there are churches around every corner so it's pretty important to know your bible. Everybody go read Isaiah 6, it's incredible 

Our neighbor has a cat named henry who eats pork chops and we can hear her calling him back home to come eat dinner everyday hahaha it's so funny.

There are also a few other cats who we've named Mark Anthony (who paid us a visit yesterday) and lindito who is the cute one but we dont see him much because henry isn't a huge fan of lindito. 

The mission is great and I love & miss hearing from each of you!! Have a blessed week! 

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...
