Just got to keep at it...

Oct.7th: the mission today is great. we are in kind of a rush cuz we are headed off to a bbq that sis Craig the mission Pres's wife is doing for our zone so that should be fun. It seems like everyone is doing great. that is funny that mom chats with sister Zeigler, i bet that's a good time and it is true that you guys have a lot in common she is awesome. haha. you finally sent my package maybe i will get it today cuz i will be at the mission home, that would be exciting. but i do have one huge request and it has an urgent sticker on it one of my favorite bands came out with a new cd! his name is kalai and he is mormon and he came out with a cd of hymns if you could get that to me it would amazing. i am so jealous that mandy is buying a puppy for tammy and herself without me being there. i miss max and puppies so much! yesterday i saw a cocker it was cute. thats funny that riley is going to homecoming you will have to send me some pics. and i cant believe it is 40 degrees there, its actually starting to be nice weather here, its amazing, feels so nice and incredible to know that i doint have to put up with the heat again. things are going great last week was a little rough it was slow didnt teach as much as we wanted too. but things are better this week. we had a really good time watching conference got to watch all of it. went to breakfast with our investigator Drew, he's still doing good, gettin baptized the 17th, Sylvia is doing great had a lesson last night she is gettin interviewed tonight and she should pass and she should get baptized this Saturday so thats exciting. we had another good lesson yesterday with a recent convert she is 10 yrs old and her dad is not a member but he sat in on the lesson and was really interested and asked questions and things and is going to read and pray about the book of mormon so thats really awesome and he is a black belt in ju jitsu and things, he fought mma for a while, he's intensely strong and big and all tatt'ed up, but a really nice guy. yesterday was really successful with street contacting we got 4 really good potential investigators just from talking to them on the street, all seemed interested and set up times to come teach, so thats exciting and all the others that we are working with were still trying to set up lessons but things are still looking promising. we should be able to put Sylvia on date this week and her friend really soon too. so we should set things up for next transfer too its crazy how fast time goes. this transfer is winding down quickly i dont really know is there is any cool or crazy stories this week except talked to a lesbian the other night who served a mission and everything. it was pretty ridiculous but funny cuz my comp really had hope and faith that she would come back and change and she said she was going to come to conference and she gave us a wrong number and stuff so.. i dont know it will be interesting if we come across her again my comp is pretty upset, but its all part of the experience, just got to keep at it. thank you so much for all the support and love the mission is the greatest enjoy your week and keep it rollin along.
love elder knaphuis
