Keepin' it below 100

hello everyone how is everyone doing this fine Wednesday. things are great here in Tempe. It is good to hear that you guys had a fun time in Yellowstone. I did listen to Enya for you guys and it obviously payed off, you even saw grizzly bears. That must have been super cool. that is good that the boys even got in some hacky sack action i havent played much of that at all but.. That is fun that the campbells stayed with max and had lots of fun, i miss him too. That is funny that Tammy worried about him, she is hilarious. Alot of people are gone away from campus for hte summer, but they will come back soon. Things are still going strong. and the heat this week hasn't been too bad, it dropped down to the low 80 s for a few days and now its back up to the high 90s, as long as it stays below 100 I'm happy, it will probably be above tomorrow, but what can you do. Things have been really good work wise, we have a baptism this Saturday for a gentleman named Alan, so that is cool, and to top that day off Elder Richard G Scott, the apostle, is coming to speak to the mission for 3 hours, so that will be awesome, He comes this Friday to speak to the University Stake and we get to go cuz we have a university ward so we get to see him twice, I'm lookin forward to it. We are staying really busy teaching quite a few people, We have been teaching a lot of black people and a lot from India so it has been pretty cool. The peeps from India are super nice and accepting , but not committal, but things are looking really good for next transfer we should be able to get 5 baptisms. I finally got the package. everything is awesome the Jersey is way cool and the candy is delicious i cant thank you enough, I dont know if you guys sent the package with shampoo and stuff in it yet, but i need some contact solution, i ran out this morning so I was just going to buy a big bottle but it cost like 10 dollars so I just bought a cheap little one, so if you get a bottle or 2 of that stuff I would highly appreciate it. We went to the Temple today that was fun. I hadn't been for a while I enjoyed it. We talked to quite a few funny people this week, there are a lot of crazies here. This drunk guy invited us in his house and he was listening to Fleetwood Mac way loud, it was awesome but he was like crying and yelling to us how he loves Jesus so much while he was drinking and smoking. We gave him a book of mormon so i think it was a success. Things have been good I really enjoy it here. It will be awesome to see Matt Chase and the Youngs definitely tell them to give me a call maybe even a lilttle bit in advace like a day or something so we can set up a time to go eat pizza. that would be awesome. Well, I think thats about all I have to write for now, It;s nice hearing from everyone I appreciat the support and have a great week.
love elder knaphus

Top way to get out of the heat when you're a missionary: baptize. Keep up the great work, Garr!
