Just call me Apollo Creed

 


This week we worked hard, and it felt great. After a week that felt slow and useless, I prayed to god to make us work harder than ever before and sure enough, it worked. We didn't have any cancellations, had at least 2 lessons everyday, walked around 65 kilometers and also put one of our dear friends on baptismal date which I'm extremely excited about. 




This week also was full of some crazy experiences, living in a 3rd world country will throw the most random stuff your way everyday, and you just have to get used to it haha, & here's what I got; we walked through a road barefoot that turned into a river for about a mile, I picked an avocado off a tree, I boxed my companion at a members house who set up a boxing ring (I won, got that reach), my comp got some unlucky digestion and had to book it into a field for an emergency and I also cut a fresh pineapple, W.

We also focused a lot on strengthening our members this week and I absolutely love them, everybody lives so humble but they're the happiest people I've met in my life. It goes to show how much god loves his children individually and how much he cares about everybody's trials if he can also care and love a person just as much in the middle of nowhere, Paraguay. God loves you. 

Heres my weekly Neal A. Maxwell quote that I'd like to share with y'all, "if you're always checking your temperature to see if you're happy, you won't be". 

Love y'all, also Che aíkua Jesucristo oiko'veha mormon kuatiane' e haéha añ'e te gua

Pics are good this week

Con muchísimo amor y jajoheshapeve,

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...
