crazy cows

Well hello Mandy. Thus far you are the only email i have to reply too. so.. that is pretty crazy that Masha is engaged. Who is she marrying. That is a bummer that Musclehawk has lost again. cant be havin that. that is amazing that the jazz are up 3 to one i hope they can pull it off. thats not good that the weather is gettin bad up there. down here it has been real nice. today is a little windy. but yesterday was 75. so things are really nice here. the work is going a long pretty steady. troy is gettin baptized this thursday and is way excited. so that should be a good time. the machado family is doin really good we had a lesson last night and taught the plan of salvation. they loved it but, dont feel confident enough in the book of mormon's truth so they didnt except baptism yet but this friday im sure they will. they havnt came to church yet so i wont get to see them get baptized but they way solid. the harris fam diidnt come to church ms harris got sick but we have a lesson tomorrow we might be able to get them to be baptized the week i go home. and roni has finally came back in town and she is ready to get on board and we found out she went to stake conference the other week and really liked it so she could go before i leave too. but a few of our investigators are slippin away its interesting to see how some peoples hearts arent soft enough but as they are continuously exposed to the church and people who live they way they should in the church they end up joining the church. the best news of the week though. we went to church and my favorite lady monique was sittin there and she told us that she has been healed and she is 100 percent better so thats awesome. we had a lesson with her yesterday and things are going real good with her she is going to go back to france and pay her family a visit so thats cool. we had a funny lesson with a recent convert and his fam and his lil sister is 6. probably the cutest girl i've met. her name is zoey and to start the lesson she had to tell us that satan told her to do something really bad. and she proceeded to say that she was eating dinner and her mom told her to finish her food and she just walked over to the garbage and threw it away and she said that satan told her to do that and now she's in big trouble. so that was a good time and later in the lesson with a sad face she asked if we could stop talking about Jesus cuz when we do it makes her think that he is going to die again so her grandpa told her he will never die again. the only other exciting stuff i can think to write about are the crazy cows we live with. we live on like 10 acres of land and there's 2 cows and just on the other side of the fence is like 10 cows and the the last 2 mornings our 2 cows have been going crazy i think its mating season or something but we have been trying to study and they run around and moo the whole time. they sound like dinosaurs. its pretty crazy. but this morning i called them right up to our window it was pretty crazy. so thats provided us with some quality entertainment. but i think that is about all i have to write. i did receive the envelope of pics and im sending them back today. i have one request. the pic of the blacktism. that means the girl that is black that got baptized if you could send me a pic or 2 of that they didnt have a camera and i forgot to print some copies for them. that would be much appreciated. i think that is all i need thought thank you for all the love. have a great week. love elder knaphus
