Family, things are still going really good here still finding new peeps to teach everyday and having fun biking we have been going in the drainage canals that are like half pipes its way fun. We have been teaching those one peeps and they came to church they pay their tithing they are getting their marriage cert this week and we are going to set up a same day marriage babtism for them Saturday so that is sick nasty. Then another cool story we contacted a family that have 3 kids who need to get baptized and the parents are stupid and wont come to church and dont really care what their kids do but one of the kids, who is 10, is a pimp and really wanted to go, so we forced the mom to say she would take him and Saturday he called us up and wanted to know what time church was. he said he was going to ride his bike over a mile to church cuz his mom wouldn’t come. so our ward mission leader picked him up and he came struttin in lookin sharp with a white shirt a tie, scriptures and all and so did his friend he brought who wanted to see how the Mormons “do things” quote. and so they sat in the pues by themselves and the 10 yr old bore his testimony and said how he prays every night to get him through the next day and it helps him with stress and how he loves the church and he's not a member. so that was awesome but its a tough situation cuz the bishop doesn’t want to baptize him unless his parents will come to church so we will have to really work hard with them and see what we can do. things are happening. its been a really good transfer. keep enjoyin everything, its good hearing from youalls, love everyone
love elder knaphus

From the way Garr is writing, you would think he is in Compton or Detroit
That story about the 10 year old is cool. It's touching to know that he KNOWS that he is a child of God. Keep up the good work Garr!
