Week 51 in Uruguay: "Michael and Luana get dunked"

Below is this week’s letter from Elder Knell. We also wanted to share a message we got from one of the members in his ward. The Lord’s hand in Uruguay.

Vicki,
Last night some friends from the ward came to visit me and we were talking about how the ward and members are doing. Everyone agreed that since Elder Knell is here the ward is doing better and we are having the best numbers of baptisms in years. He is a great missionary …


“Michael and Luana get dunked”

Tuesday – Wednesday
Tuesday we painted the casa of Karina. It was an awesome service! She so funny, she put on the NBA, lol. She gave us food to eat, which was super nice. They also told us that they want to be baptized, it was the coolest thing ever. They gave each other the biggest hug (Karina and Julio). After, we taught Adriana and she just cried and cried to us. She wants to be baptized, but can’t move yet…(She is living with someone). After we taught Lucia. We taught her brother also, Fran. I love them. It’s so funny teaching them! I hope they can be baptized. The spirit was so strong! It was seriously so amazing! Wednesday, we had a conference and then we taught Adriana and Luana. Such a cool experience, Luana wants to be baptized on her mother’s B-Day. Super cool. After, we saw a seal on the beach. It was actually super cool. My comp saw a shooting star, still waiting to see one of those, haha.

Thursday – Friday
Thursday, we said hi to mama Laurito and then we taught Fabiana. We did a service for her and then taught Joaquin’s Grandma. Hopefully, we can convert the whole family! After, we got yelled at because we knocked on some people’s doors during lunchtime. They were going off saying how we don’t respect the Lord’s hour of eating lunch, lol. Super funny!

Saturday – Sunday
Saturday, we played a little bit of futbol, it was fun and the little kids are the best to play with. I love them so much. Well, Satan won a battle, haha. The water for the baptism font was ice again! Somehow the gas wasn’t working, but we still won the war. My comp and I both baptized. We baptized Luana and Michael. Such miracles, and after we played uno. It was such a good day. Sunday was the most stressful day for me. We had to go find Michael to receive the Holy Ghost. We had 6 investigates come to church! Please pray for Karina! She is still doubting. Please pray for her and Juan. We ate so much on Sunday and taught a little boy that is 12 not to smoke. Crazy! I love the people here. The Laurito’s gave us some food, haha. I love Hermana Laurito!


Well, remember that where ever you go, God is with you! Psalms 1:27
