Hola, how are things going this fine morning. Things are going great here in Show low. The weather is amazing, its about 50 degrees and sunny so i don't even have to wear a jacket today. There is a black thug that is sittin next to me in the library and he is lookin at hand guns haha. Seems like you guys have been having a good time watching the olympics. I havnt seen anything i did hear the a guy on a luge died thats pretty crazy. but that is cool that mandys friend won a bronze. thats kinda funny that Canada doesnt have enough snow. they will have to come back to utah. but things are going pretty good here. we had a dinner the other night with a older couple and they served in the barcelona spain mission and they know matt chase their name is the nields you will have to ask matt about them. but the work is going pretty good it really hasnt picked up much. we have brittini riggins baptism this saturday so that should be good. and her mom is supposedly gettin me some ray ban sunglasses so thats sweet too. and we also finally were able to give good old john a baptismal date for the 6 of march he is pretty excited he has been through a lot in life he's the one who was in prison and things and so he will need to be interviewed be our mission pres so hopefully everything will go good with that. but we still have been having a lot of lessons cancel on us so thats frustrating its just been a tough transfer im sure it will pick up we are puttin forth good effort so its just a matter of time. transfers are next Wednesday we find out on monday so it should be interesting to see what happens. the mission pres said in my interview anything could happen i could stay here the rest of my mission or or get transferred my last one you never know it will be exciting to see. but i wouldnt mind a change in companion. i cant think of any crazy or funny stories that happened this week but i loove you guys for all that you do hope you have a great week
love elder knaphus
