Week 6 in Uruguay!

9/18/17-9/26/17

Hola a todos!!!

Tuesday-Wednesday

Well, we have found Maria. I have really been trying to act upon the spiritual promptings given to me. This week I had the feeling to go and find the lady (Maria) that went missing for the last 2 weeks. Now she has a baptism set for the 30th, we used my birthday as a push haha. For lunch, I had tuna and wow I’m not 100% sure I’m sold on it. It smelled and did not looked cooked, bad fish haha. After our weird experience with tuna, we taught Chicito Carlos. He is a stud. He told me my Spanish is a lot better than the first time we met him. I straight up asked him if he would get baptized in two weeks. He said “No thanks.”lol. He is super close just not ready yet. My comp told me later that when he looks at me he sees someone with a strong testimony and someone close to family and Heavenly Father. He told me to never lose that and that people all over can see that. Ahh, that made me so happy. That night we taught Annabelle and Michael. It was my turn to share so I talked about one of the best chapters in the Book of Mormon, Alma 32. The spirit was so strong. We had to catch an uber because we were going to be so late getting home. That next morning the tuna did not sit well with me or my comp and we slept in lol and my comp forgot his meds so we went back and got them. We knocked on like 10 houses but no one wanted to hear us so went to our last charla. I gave the baptismal interview to Maicol, the kid that smokes. He is so ready and I am so excited.

Thursday – Friday
Today was so funny. There is this guy that thinks he is a traffic guard. He has a whistle and vest, and so he went off on us because he said he saw God and Satan. He said he cast Satan down to hell and he is made king over a world. So funny, we were like well, that is fantastic, thank you. He told us that we don’t need to go around preaching anymore. I have been rereading Alma 32 a lot. Faith is  first believing, than acting upon the promptings given. The Book of Mormon is so amazing and my testimony grows more and more about it. Also, Alma 36, so good! I had a prompting to go to one of our investigator’s house and it turned out she wanted to kill herself. Wow, the spirit helped me out. I told her we are here for her salvation. She changed and she is now coming to church and we are close to setting a baptism date with her. I am so excited and thankful I get to grow and love the people here. 

Saturday-Sunday
I had a feeling to call the kid who smokes and he has stopped smoking. He wanted to join us for the last charla. The spirit works in so many ways, it’s amazing and all we have to do is listen. We set a baptism for a guy that is already ready. He is so perfect for baptism. I am excited! In church, I was feeling the spirit so strong and it was amazing but 2 seconds later a phone goes off, kid starts crying, and this mom right in front of us slaps her kid so hard on the mouth. It was crazy haha! Well, that’s about it. Hope all is well back in the states. Miss you all!

Love Elder Knelly

PS I finally played ball with people here. They thought it was the coolest thing ever that I could make a shot. haha
