OH OH Manatee




The ghost is becoming kind of a homie because it left us alone for most part of the week but it still had a few strikes: 2 people fell off bikes, my bike tire popped 15 mins before writing this email, ac broke, racism, we have a witch now, & spiders all over in the car. 


This week was filled with some of the craziest and longest bike rides of my life, but it feels super good after you've been inside your apartment most of the day and I'm getting pretty good at hopping curbs so it's only a matter of time before I go flying over the handlebars. With this biking came a lot, I mean a LOT of sweating. I don't know if it's the humidity or what but it's always gnarly. 

While we were biking back from the cemetery for service I looked back and my comp was mid-air flying over his handlebars. It was a miracle because he didn't rip any of his clothes and left the scene with a sub-par elbow scratch. Goes to show again that god is more powerful than our mildly friendly ghost. 

As for missionary work it was a pretty slow week. We've been receiving loads of referrals because it's a brand new area so we had to do a lot of necessary organizing. It wasn't too exciting but like I said, necessary.  

One incredibly awesome bit of news though is that an elder, who originally was in Paraguay and got reassigned here in dallas as well, is getting sent back to paraguay back in December!! I just got my visa info as well when I got on to write this email so I'm thinking I might actually be in Paraguay within the next 6 months I will miss Dallas when it's time to leave, I really love it here in Texas. Which is something I never thought I'd catch myself saying hahaha. 

The cats are all doing great, Mark Anthony came to visit a couple of times and we fed him some tuna and beef chunks. We might be creating an unhealthy dependency but he's too cute to turn away. Him and Henry aren't really friends and we catch them screaming at each other from time to time. Lindito hopped on my windowsill during personal study and it about gave me a heart attack. 

I went to the aquarium today with my district and I loved it more than I thought I would. They had a very fat manatee and it made my day. 

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...
