Transfer week!



Hola!


 This week went by really fast! We were really busy with the first transfer with the new president here! Everything is turning out good though! We have been teaching Juan the new member lessons and its crazy to see ow much the gospel can change your life. He is a perfect example of someone who was prepared to receive and I'm so happy that we were able to teach him. He has been having experiences with the Holy Ghost almost everyday. I hope I can be like that when I return home. Juan is great!
  On other news, Elder Ashton and I are being transferred! We are both being released as Assistants and going back to the Northwood Ward in Irvine!! And we'll be training a new missionary together! On full time bike!!! Haha its awesome. I'm SO excited for this last transfer. Elder Ashton only has 3 weeks left and I have 6, so we are planning on finishing hard in our area! Our new missionary is going to be sweet! I've had the opportunity to read his bio, So I'm super excited! Things are great!
  I hope Tom had a good birthday and I hope Dave is ready to go and I'm excited to hear about his experiences!

Love you all!

Con amor,

Elder Fuell

Another bit of information.....I (Louie) was browsing the mission facebook page and was able to find a few pictures that I thought might not be on Dallin's Blog so I decided to copy them and here they are..........................................

Great week!!



Hola!

 We had a great week this week. We've been able to meet with Juan a couple times and talk with him about the Aaronic Priesthood, he should be getting it within the next couple of weeks and then he's planning on marrying his girlfriend and then getting sealed in the temple in about a year! Which should be great!
 On other news, Elder Putnam was on exchanges all week and Elder Ashton was on Exchanges half the week, so that left Elder Everett and I running the area, which was great! We found  a couple of potential Samoan investigators, but they didn't show up to church, so we're going to have to go see whats up with that. Also, transfers are next week, its going to be a great transfer! There was a lot of preparation this last week.. more than usual, I'm guessing its because we're all just getting adjusted to the new President! He's great! I like him a lot! And I'm looking forward to this week! I hope you all have a good one!!!

Con amor,

Elder Fuell

P.s. Happy Birthday this week Thomas!!!!! Love ya!!!

Juan's Baptism



Hello Family!

 This week was great! The highlight was definitely Juan's Baptism. He is so solid! Everything went great. He taught and baptized him in 3 weeks and was baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Monday! He is just doing so great. He has an interview with Bishop on Wednesday and will be receiving the Aaronic Priesthood this coming Sunday. He is just great. By far the most humble guy I've ever taught. I cant say enough good things about him, he's that good. We also have been preparing for transfers again! wooo. I am trying to stay up on the duties of my assignment, but truth be told, I feel a much happier when I can go to the area and just work there instead of doing any office work. So, maybe the Lord will bless me with a greenie next transfer so I can finish off training. :) haha Keep your fingers crossed! Everything is going great with my companions! They are literally the best ever. Some of the closest friends that I've made on my mission are the 3 companions I have right now. They're doing an awesome job. We found this guy named Tutu that says he was baptized when he was 8 but he has no recollection of ever going to church or anything, so we've been teaching him and trying to track down his records. Hopefully we can find them and get him active! He's also super great! But yeah, that's the news for this week!

Love you!!!

Con amor,

Elder Fuell
