Henry (the cat) is really the worst!!

This week was super great and also suuuper busy. 

The ghost was really out to kill, some of the pranks were not cool, including the following; My missing porkchops (which was either the ghost or our landlord), some creepy sleep talking, a missing wallet, more bikes wrecked, a couple people kept falling on the ground (pics included of the crime scenes below), henry the cat hissed at me (no longer a homie even though we fed him tuna just moments later), new addiction to aloha coconut chapstick, the door of the train almost closed on my companion & the return of the incredulous beef chunks

Besides our little mishaps with the mildly friendly ghost, this week brought a TON of miracles our way. 

Probably the biggest miracle this week is that we were able to get 4 people to church yesterday!! Sundays as a missionary are usually pretty stressful so seeing a couple of the people you're teaching put in a really big effort to get to church makes all the hardships throughout the week so small and insignificant. 

On Saturday we were able to go and eat with a super cool member family, one of their sons actually just returned from my same mission in paraguay! He told me all about what to expect and how incredible the people are. Also about the massive snakes that come out of the rivers and eat people. 

On thursday this week Elder Gaviria and I got back from doing some service and the other elder's that live in our apartment seemed to be up to something, they open the bedroom door and we have a christmas tree in there. Turns out, they actually stole it from the other Elder's house about 5 minutes away and it was so funny. The other Elder's went looking for their tree so we threw it in our attic so they couldn't find it. This went on for a couple of days until they thought that somebody actually came in and robbed them. We thought we won but then they decided they were about to call president when we finally confessed and so now we're still without a christmas tree but I'm determined to change that this week! 

I also got permission to see my dad for about 5 minutes this morning which was reallly cool! It's super weird seeing him here in Dallas but again, super sweet. (Louie was passing through and Elder Fuell had some things he was leaving in the States before he heads off to Paraguay)

I've been reading a lot about the scattering of israel and how that pertains to each of us, it was super interesting and I invite any of you who haven't done that, to do so.

I hope y'all had a super great week and I'd love to hear from all of you! 

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...
