Well this is Elder Madsen here.... It was a really good week! Our Zone has been doing awesome! The missionaries here are very hard working and neat people! Right now Morgy is in the MTC waiting to come better the work out here! Well we had a surprise party for Christy this week! She completely quit smoking so we got some balloons and streamers and made her close her eyes while us and the exchange decorated her house REALLY fast and ya... it was not much but she was very surprised and refused to be in the picture! She is still on date for Sept. 12th. We are really excited for that! We had a blood moon last night! That was neat. I have a really nice outfit today! BE JEALOUS!! And I had a perfect knot. It has happened before but this one was just to prime!

I love and miss you all very much! In the double digits now!!!!!! Love Elder Madsen!

Things sure have been speeding up a little but it has been not too fast! It is just exciting to see how it all plays out! Morg goes to the MTC on Wednesday and then comes here to me! Wyatt is home and has not emailed me....... he also can’t get over the fact that Kayla hasn't broke up with me and we are still serious. Tehehehe. It was a really good week! I loved it! We hung out with Spencer and Blain Rasmussen and that was a blast for sure! It involved some bubbles and my camera and I also got the chance to give a blessing that was extremely powerful! I don’t know how it will end up but I was grateful for the opportunity I had to give it! The young lady was very in tune! I don’t think she realized how in tune she was. But if nothing else it helped my testimony! I got to see a couple people from Neosho at the church building. That was fun! We ate at some guy’s house that made soooooooo much food. We were all sick when we left! Then went to do service. People. Clean your freaking houses. Thanks! Don’t let it get to the point that missionaries have to come in and fix it! As we were cleaning, everyone in the house lightened up. It was more spiritual in there! Please people. Love Jesus.... clean your houses! And I got to see one of the Elders that sat in on Trav's conversion! Elder McKee lives here in Missouri and is a member of the ward i am over! He was recently in an 18 wheeler role over but doing fine!!!!! Hahah he showed me this record of Travy getting baptized. I thought that was pretty dang cool!

Well it has been a LONG week. We had MLC and then a missionary gone home:/ and then many other things that have just tried to halt the work and in the end we hit the standard and had a really fun week! Elder Merryweather was with us for a few days along with cute Elder Whitehead! Love that guy:) We got up to play ball at 4:50 this morning and that was super fun! Just a good crazy week.

Well it was a great week! This was by far one of my best birthdays ever! I got surprised from my mom and Kayla and of course that involved the rest of my family but that were the activists! Goodness I loved this weekend! Lots of love from everyone! I am slightly overwhelmed by it all! But I appreciate everyone that participated in the surprises and I even went for a ride in a Tesla S 80 D. It was soooo sweet! I loved this week besides all that because I got to butcher a liver, brain, and testicles of a cow! And oh ya we got pics! Oh ya and an alligator snapping turtle!... Very not okay but it works.

Happy 21st Elder Madsen!

August 8, 1994 was the day that my all-time best friend was born! Today he turned 21 and I can hardly believe it! Of course, I can't say I've known him that entire time, but I have known him since he was 16 and I can say that I absolutely love and adore the man that he has become! Each and every day he surprises me and gets even better and better and I love him so much.

Cade, I hope you've been having the best day and know how much we all would like to celebrate this day with you!

You are loved and cared for by more people than you'll ever be able to imagine.

Hope you have the best birthday sweetheart! 

Birthday Package:

This Elder is all about Batman, so this year I decided to send him a superhero themed package!

Hope he loves it and all it's dinky-ness.

Birthday Video:

P.S. definitely didn't forget your birthday you silly guy (;

And…
