Hola familia y amigos!
Tuesday – Wednesday
Well P-day was Tuesday so emailing was the best thing ever. The day went by so fast! Later that night we were asked to go give a blessing, ahhh it was awesome! I was so nervous like sweating so much lol. I anointed the mom and son. The son had like 6 different names lol. After the blessing, the little boy jumped up and gave me a hug, ahh it was so cute! Wednesday we had another blessing to give and it was so spiritual :) We then taught the first lesson to Maicol, the kid that smokes. I started it and the spirit was so strong! We were fasting and every time we do something or some trials happens. I was down because Spanish was just hard and I tried to contact, but no one would listen! So in this charla/lesson, it was powerful. I felt the words just coming, Spanish words haha. When we finished, my comp said bro, that was the best lesson! Like your Spanish bro, awesome haha. Ahhh Fasting works! I have the strongest testimony of fasting and how important and powerful it is.
Thursday – Friday
We ate at a member’s house and I asked if they had a basketball or watch basketball. They had NBA TV. Oh my gosh, I miss playing. I was watching the plays from last year!! I got so excited to come back and play. I can’t wait. I didn’t realize how much I missed it. Also, we had tooth picks made of bamboo, so much better. Friday was good. We went to a meeting and had mashed potatoes! Oh I miss those. Then we had a talk from Pres. Eddy about baptizing. Our goal is to baptize! We teach repentance and baptize converts. Such a good talk. Later, I started the lesson for Maicol again. I brought mints for him to help stop smoking. I talked about the Book of Mormon so he can gain a testimony. Wow, the spirit was so strong. I wish you could feel how strong the spirit was. I know I was talking through the spirit no doubt! I gave the little boy m&m’s, lol Julio, I’m such a sucker for him.
Saturday – Sunday
Today we had a service project from 8am to 4pm, 8 hours!!!. We painted, power washed, laid concrete and did yard work for an elementary school. It was fun! I love servicing others, it’s the best. I got all the kids to take a video of us saying “Cougar Nation” haha. They don’t know English but it was awesome! Later we had a lesson with Miss Uruguay. She doesn’t believe in God but I know we will baptize her. She speaks English. I love talking English! The spirit was amazing. We got Maicol and a guy named Daniel to come to church. Daniel has a dog that waits for him at a certain spot every day. Just like “Hachi”. Sacrament was awesome! We had 32 people there instead of the 17 we’ve had. Later that night, we taught Michael, Annabelle and their cute little girl Mia. They have been inactive and had been talking about getting a divorce. So we are teaching them and we sing hymns, even though they laugh at us, the spirit is so strong. They have been coming to church and Michael talked to us at the service project and told us that they are not getting a divorce now. He said ever since you Elder have come into our lives we feel the spirit and have wanted to make this work. He said they are also working on getting to the Temple. Their little girl, Mia is adorable. She legit has a crush on me. She keeps trying to kiss me, so funny. Well, I love you all. Thanks for all your love, support and prayers.
Elder Knelly
