Jan. 27 email:
hello. how are you guys all doing. things are going great here in the snow. last week is snowed like 2 feet it was awesome. the van was a tank we didnt get stuck once it was a miracle. the thing rides low but rides like a champ. it is supposed to snow another few inches tonight so that would be cool. but everyone complains about the snow. we help a lot of people shovel. its a good way to talk to people. it was funny last night we stopped and this old lady was trying to chip away at the ice on her drive way and she was 93 yrs old her husband is 99 she was really nice and funny but was stubborn in her old age like most people are. but thats kind of a bummer that you guys havnt got any good storms. have the boys done any skiing or anything it would have been amazing to go skiing there is a ski resort up here that got like 7 ft of fresh powder it would have been amazing. but the man cave or whatever its called sounds like its going to be pretty sweet. but i am rather sad to hear that you guys are fixing the wall no more butt print. but it will look good i think. thats sweet that riley is going to the dance with hannah that should be a fun one. but everything here is great. it was actually a pretty slow week for teaching cuz of the storm but everyone wanted to cancel on us we had like 12 lessons cancel last week. but we still have some really good progression with monique she is getting baptized this weekend and is excited its finally happening. the ward mission leader gave her nicorette gum and she hasnt smoked for 2 weeks. last week at church she stood up when he walked in and said loudly that she ought to kiss mr morgan, the ward mission leader. chastity is doing really good she is gettin baptized on the 6th of feb and is excited as ever she is having her mom whose not a member and a lot of inactive peeps and things that are going to be there so that should be sweeet. and then brittini is gettin baptized the 13th of feb. thats all that are really progressing. so thats 3 baptisms for this transfer and we are really pushing for a 4th and there are 2 kids that we have worked with ever since i got there and they will not come to church so we backed off but the last 2 weeks they have come to church so we have a lesson with them on monday so hopefully we can rope them in too. but other than that i dont think there is much else to write we have been staying busy having fun its going to be an interesting p day we are supposed to play soccer all day but my comp scheduled a hair cut in the middle of are soccer playing and im not going to let that happen. i havnt played any sports for pday for like at least 3 months. but he's a good kid and likes to do missionary work so cant really complain. thats crazy that tom dowdle is home you will have to tell him hi for me. but i dont think i really need much else right now the sweater will be awesome. some guy just started talked to us as we are emailing talking about prophets and he didnt think that calls prophets anymore so we are going to go to his house this week and talk to him but everything is going really good hope you guys have a great week. love elder knaphus
