Lunch with the NFL

Hello how is it all goin? I’m jealous of all the thunder storms you’re having there, We have none of that right now it has been mid 100s pretty hot but the evenings are nice. yesterday we walked around about all day and I got a little sunburnt , so I gotta start wearing sun screen I guess. And “no” you don’t get used to it! It was way awesome to see the Youngs. it was really fun to see matt chase and his awesome mustache I got to see some pretty good pictures of Logan on Matt’s phone, I haven’t been able to check out blogs for a while, maybe you guys will have to send me some pics. We have been having a good time. a lot has happened I hope I can remember most of the things but we had our baptism of Allan and it was pretty funny, he showed up 45 minutes late, he was wearing street clothes and he didn’t bring ,extra underwear but it still went alright and the bishop and Steak Pres and everything were chill about it so it was cool. Monday was cool after we had a zone meeting all 20 missionaries went to In and Out and Todd Heap of the Baltimore Ravens was there and he bought us all lunch, and got pics with us he was way cool. I’m trying to think of what else really happened it has been super busy, we have been teaching a lot, we have quite a few people who want to get baptized but its just been hard to get them progressing and everything. Everyone is so busy here its hard to get schedules to work out. we have a baptism the 13 of June, Ramiro, he is a 74 yr old Mexican dude, he is pretty cool. he first met the missionaries in 1961 and read the Book of Mormon and stuff but never joined, he came up to us on the street and said he wanted to get baptized so he has accepted everything. he has some weird theories and stuff, he is a free mason but there is nothing wrong with that and he will be getting baptized here pretty soon. we have a few others that we are working with but I’m trying to think of some good stories. we talked to some funny homeless men who were calling us all sorts of bad words and names, it was pretty funny. I’m still enjoying that delicious German chocolate. oh today for p day we are probably going to a rock climbing gym, so that will be way fun to be able to get my climb on. it seems like everyone has been having fun climbing. I don’t really know what else to write, but everything is going just great. it was awesome to hear from Rich G Scott, he talked a lot about doing what you feel and listening to what you feel rather than what you hear and stuff. talked about our teaching and stuff and then getting married right when you get home from the mission that should be your number one goal. so I don’t know about that but it was pretty cool to hear from him. in the mission we set a mission record with like 155 baptisms last transfer and everything is still going really good but thanks for all the support and love enjoy the week and have fun. love elder knaphus
