Pacienco Mio!!


 

Hey y'all!

Bear with me, this email might get a little hefty because this week was great and I have a lot to report on, I promise if you make it to the end you'll love it & I might just have pics to back up my claim. 

To start this week off I had interviews with my mission president and it was great, he's the sweetest guy.
Something I asked him is how I can work on patience. Before I got on the mission I would've liked to think I was a patient guy, turns out I'm actually the exact opposite haha. Over this past month, God has really been working on my patience with a couple of things, so I needed some help. If any of y'all struggle with the same dilemma I'd invite you to read moroni 7:40-47, it'll help a lot. Nevertheless as I've been able to choose how to respond to some situations I've been able to feel a lot more peace and happiness, who would've thought! 

I had exchanges again this week, but this time it was with my good friend Elder Throckmorton, one of the Elders we live with. We spent a lot of time downtown and most of my pics this week happened from that exchange, it was a blast.

I also had the most incredible opportunity to go to my companions patriarchal blessing yesterday! It was a very memorable experience and holy crap the patriarch was a very wealthy man. Walking through his house felt like walking through an art museum, it was incredible. After the blessing we asked him a lot of questions about the 12 tribes of Israel because I've been studying it like crazy, but this isn't even the coolest part; when we were finishing up he said he had something to show us, he pulls a small book out of a box and it's an 1830 first-edition Book of Mormon!! He let us take pics with it and it was probably one of the coolest moments of my life haha. All 5 of us missionaries were fan-girling over it I'm sure he thought it was hilarious. 

I took a look this week at the chapter 6 'christlike attributes test' in Preach My Gospel and decided I basically have an F in every category lol, so I've been really zoning in on those this week. it's actually made this week more enjoyable which I'm gonna be honest, I didn't entirely expect to feel that way about it by the end of the week. 

I dont mean to end this email on a sober note but I'm sure you all have heard about the missionary who passed away in Arkansas, life can be cut short sometimes so don't forget to tell somebody you love them today. I love all of you on this little email list, even if I haven't told you in a while haha. Stay safe!

Also it snowed yesterday :3

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...
