st johns is incredible as always this week is set to be
a good one we have a bunch ofdifferent celebrations
this week theres a huge bonfire, a pancake breakfast,
a steak dinner, a bean and cornbread
dinner, there are 3 rodeos we are going to 2 of them
and so its just going to be a huge fun celebration so
im excited.  the work is really going good we have a
babtism this week her name is jade cummings, fielding
taught her in the valley then she moved up here  this
summer with her grandma so we taught and are babtizing
her saturday so that should go really good. then were
teaching a girl who is 18 she is E K's niece ek is one
of the coolest guys he's a recent convert and
for the most part he's an awesome member but still
smokes so were trying to get him to quit so he can
babtize her but he's stubborn so we got to keep workin
that one then were babtizing another 18 yr old name
randy brooke who has already had the lesson but his
mom is anti and told him he cant get babtized
tell he's 18 so were reviewing the lesson with him
and babtizing him right before he goes off to school.
then were teaching a 9 year old indian girl this one
is a little tougher cuz they have a hard time coming
to chuch and the steak pres said they have to come 8
weeks in a row so we will see if we can get
them babtized this transfer but it will be tough
those crazy indian you never know what theyre up too
and we also just started teaching a guy from puerto
rico who is really religous and already believes in
the book of morman and has been coming to church for
a couple of weeks so hopfully we can babtize him before
he leaves off the page next month so thats about all
the people we are teaching its going really
well and its all because the members are so amazing.
all the missionary work comes from the members here
we get so many refferrels and we have some of the
neatest people were we havethe lesson at their house
like the lee's and the rabans they are just incredible
they are so missionary minded and it their whole
families even theyre kids so its just been awesome
i love my mission and if i could ask anything of you
guys try to help the missionarys in are area all you
can because it makes such a difference when the
members are reliable and really care about missionary
work so if you ever see the missionaries around talk
to them but i love you guys
love elder knaphus
