update...

No pictures yet, but here is an update from garr's last
email...yeah the mountains are rather enjoyable.  everyone
here is really cool and awesome i have met some crazy
people my 3 favorite people roger who is the custodian
at the high school he lets us come to school in the
morning and play basketball he is an awesome guy then
there is EKwho is a mexican with a sweet mustache and
has had an  incedible life of gang banging and all that
stuff but hehas been a member for about a year now and
is one of the  funniest guys i have ever met then there
is Darrell who is one of the only black men in the area
and he isnt  a member but he knows everything about the
church and he just says he inst ready for babtism but
whatever he is cool he used to be really wealthy because
he did prop work and leather work for pirates of the
carribean and pearl harbor so he is going to teach us
how to do some leather work im going to make a scrip
case and stuff but this area is really neat i have only
had one lesson but we have 2 more tonight so the work is
a little slow but thats just how it is up here oh yeah
we had a babtism too the first week i was here so that
was cool even though i didnt really do anything but she
was awesome and so excited so that was really neat the
members here are so amazing too they care so much about
us and do so much missionary work for themselves its
really  cool but yesterday was p day and it
was fun we went to the temple snowflake it was pretty
cool temple but there is a house right next to it so that
was kinda weird and then we went golfing as a district and
that was really fun and free and i got sunburned
pretty bad but its kind of funny becuase now i have some
gnarly tan lines but whatever it was really fun and my
district is really cool.  but im doing really
well and enjoying st johns i love everyone  Elder Knaphus
