well hello its nice hearin from you again. and it seems like everyone is having a good time. sucks to hear that the utes lost. it sucked we were having dinner and they had the game on in the other room. it was torture. but. they'll still beat byu so.. but thats way cool that the bengals are tearin it up. im with fill theyre going to the bowl. thats sweet the pacquio had another good fight. i would like to see him fight. good to hear logan is doing well with his emt class and having a good time. that would be way cool if he did some fire fighting. also good to hear that the house is still being used properly with all the peeps coming over and things. thats a bummer that mom and dad have been a lil sick im gettin a little bit of a cold right now but it should be no big deal. thats cool that dad still workin up in canada. one of my companions elder woodruff is living in edmonton right now and i heard from him the other night and he's sending me a package he's
a pretty cool kid. thats fun that you guys are having a good crowd over for thanksgiving. one of the bishops just invited us over so thats should be a good time. but things are all going great up here. the weather has been really nice the nights get pretty cold though the gloves are sure nice thanks a ton. but we have been stayin busy. last weekend we had 2 baptisms. one was for the 8 yr old kenny and it was neat cuz he got baptized with another 8 year old child of record and it was neat cuz during the talks of the program they were asked a bunch of questions and kenny answered them all. then we had nick and he was really excited about his too and things went great. i got to confirm him so that was cool. but everyone else is doing really good. cassandra gets baptized this sunday then seth and april the following week and they are all set to go. monique is doing good. she smoked so thats a bummer. but we had a really good lesson with her yesterday and she had 2 more cigs in her pack so hopefully she can quit this time but she is really loving the church and she was invited to a fhe and loved it she has really had a warm welcome and she wants to get baptized a lot she just has to climb the mountain as she say's. last night we also picked up some more people who have been prepared. 2 unbaptized kids and then their moms friend we had a really good first lesson the kids loved it and so did john the dude he already believes it all so thats way sweet. and we have 2 lesson set up later this week to start teaching some more new peeps hopefully it all goes well. we are being extremely blessed. it was neat to go down to the valley. to meet with elder evans. he went to east high school and said he knew an ned knaphus who died in car accident and my comps dad knew him too. is that g pa's bro. but other than that my knee's are pretty ridiculous the other day i was gettin out of the car and the other knee popped out but it went right back in the other one is doin alright i was able to do a pretty good workout this morning so... they should last the rest of the miss. but things are good i tried to buy some g's the other day but they didnt carry the ones i want so if you could send me some that would be appreciated. i need like 3 or 4 pair of the mesh double xtra large and short bottoms. and also i could use like 2 or 3 new white short sleeve shirts i have had to get rid of a few they are fallin apart but i cant probably just go to the store and buy some if that would be easier just let me know next week. but i thinks that about it thank you for everything love you all and have a great week.
love elder knaphus
