New Years

Jan. 6 email
well hello  it seems like you guys are having
a lot of fun ward ball started up thats good
to hear. i haven't played basketball for like
3 months now so thats a bummer no one up here
is very athletic. but it will probably change
quite a bit with transfers they are next wednesday
it will be interesting to see if i go or stay i
have no clue what could happen i guess chances
are a little more likely that i stay but you
never know.  thats fun that your still having
fun with moses, he's losin his teeth. the other
day we played with 4 puppies that were half wolf
half rot wiler they were really cute and playful. 
it will be fun to get some pics from you guys.
but things have been going great here been
having fun.  new years wasnt anything really
exciting just visited members and things had a
lesson during the day. didnt stay up or anything. 
we saw that the bengals got beat thats not good
hopefully they will get em in the play offs.
things are going pretty good here. we are trying
to pick up the pace with the holidays being
over but we have had like 6 lessons fall
through in 2 days. but we have had some really
good lessons. last night we watched a movie
about tom monson with john are investigator
and he's way solid and is 7 days without smoking
really wants to get baptized.  then had a lesson
with a girl named chastity her step mom is a
way cool member and her dad isnt a member but
we have taught her for a while and she finally
accepted a date for the 23 or jan and she's
really excited and it was cool too, in their house
they have a bouldering wall so after the lesson
we did some climbing but it was tough in my church
clothes. and she has this little kid who looks
just like a mini Chris sharma i will get a pic
of him climbing.  but sad news monique isnt gettin
baptized this week she wouldnt even talk to us but
we have a lesson on thursday so hopefully we will
be able to get her back on track.  then there is
brittany she is the 12 year old girl and we have
only had 1 real lesson with her and she wants to
be baptized but her parents are flaky so it
might take some time but she loves the church so
that will be awesome.  im trying to think of
anything exciting or funny that happened this week
but i cant really think of anything but i have a
little bit of a cold and its really hot in here
so its making me frustrated but thank you so much
for the email its good hearing from you hope you
guys have a great week. love elder knaphus
