got a picture with two good lookin' european chicks

March 2 email:hello everybody. how is it going. that is no good that every one has been sick. i have been lucky that i have never been too sick to work. that also is a bummer that oly choked again. good to hear though that the jazz are still tearing it up and thats pretty funny that chad is on dancin with the stars. he will probably win it. thats way crazy that trent comes home a week from today. time flies. oh to make mandy happy i sent the picuteres on monday so they should be arriving shortly. thats cool that the steak is doing the rescue and dad has a big part of it. it will be interesting to see if he can do some persuading and get em to church. who is it. its pretty crazy how many people are less active. thats funny that riley will be accompanying you to parent teacher conferences i remember those good old days. im excited to recieve some more cookies i dont think i need much else i could use another bag of mangoes. that would be awesome. but things are going rather slow around here i dont know why. its kinda weird cuz we are working just as hard if not harder and hardly anything has happened. we have had all are lessons cancell except one and everyone we stop by isnt interested all the people we talk to on the street are old and have already been saved or just want to tell us of their incredibly long boring life stories. so we are trying to be as diligent as possible trying not to doubt and staying busy, remembering the importance of everything and the good lord will eventually bless us. this morning we got a way sweet potential though. his name is Jay Labou a member called us up and has been working with him. he's going thru a divorce so we helped him move but, he wants a book of mormon and to take the lessons. he is a pretty funny dude he has long curly red hair and he wears spandex and moon boots, from the east coast. if you can imagine. he will be a way cool guy to teach. kinda crazy i believe i told you guys about john last week he lost the faith and said he didnt want to be baptized but he showed up to church and said he's back and still wants to be baptized. so he was interviewed and has to be interviewed again by the mission pres but john hasnt called us since the interview so who knows what will happen.but other than that the only teaching we have been doing is with members tryin to get them fired up and understanding the importantce of member missionary work and teaching recent converts. but i do have a pretty good story of the week. so last saturday we went to a baptism that my companion was speaking at. and we were walking out of the church and someone honked the horn i didnt see anything though so we were about to take off and a car came cruisin and parked in front of us so we couldnt leave and it was full of girls. we didnt know what was going on. so an older lady got out and 2 really attractive girls got out and the lady introduced us to the girls and proceeded to say that they were foreign exchanged students one from norway and one from switzerland and they were going around gettin pictures of everything that they wanted to remember from az. and they wanted to remember the missionaries. so we got pictures with 2 good lookin european chicks. too bad i didnt have my camera. but it was cool they said they are going to take the missionary lessons back home cuz you cant convert exchanged students. i think that is about all i have thank you guys so much for all the support and love.
love elder knaphus
