I was out 5 months when I was put with Elder Knudsen.  He was out 3.  Elder Knudsen and shared the same goals, and the same desires as far as the work goes.  I could not imagine getting along with anyone so quickly as I did with Elder Knudsen.  We had so much in common.  We loved sports.  We were both tight ends and punters in football.  We both had and older brother serving a mission in Spain.

    We worked everything by the book.  We wanted to be perfect missionaries and do everything right.  We did find success and had some awesome experiences.  During our hour long lunch break we normally would take out a Metal Rod and small toy basketball and play home-run derby in the large yard in front of our apartments.  Yes, those were the days!

    Elder Knudsen had a lot of famous saying.  He often had to comment (sarcastically of course) on his own humility.  "If people knew how good I really was, they would know how humble I am!"  One saying I had to argue with was, "...if only girls smelled like Big Macs!"  I convinced him that girls must spell like girls and Big Macs must smell like Big Macs.  I have since had the opportunity of having a girl in one hand and a Big Mac in the other.  Elder Knudsen, if you're reading: eat your heart out baby!  It doesn't get much better than that!
