Hello Family and Friends!
Well, my camera is broken :/ President Nimmer is pretty handy with cameras so I should have it fixed soon, but sadly the hold-up on pictures will have to last another week.
Really not that much to talk about. We have been working really hard here, and have tracted a lot this last week. Our initial baptismal date investigators (Amanda, Crystal and Kim) have sadly all come through, so we are just focusing on building an investigator pool right now. We taught 14 lessons tracting over just two days! (Which for this mission is a lot.) We do have some hopeful prospects. Just keep us in your prayers. I have every confidence in the next week we'll have some new baptismal-date-investigators.
President Holzapfel has been gone in Florida receiving training from some General Authorities, and should be back soon to give us some up-to-date training.
The area (as well as the rest of the nation, I'm sure) has been a-buzz about the upcoming Presidential election. Sadly, I've not received my absentee ballot in the mail. I had it sent to the mission office address and they haven't forwarded it to me. They may be saving it for zone meeting on Friday, but that doesn't leave a whole lot of time for it to get to Idaho in the mail. I may register here and just vote here.
We have some exciting news from Highland Home! Dyana was baptized on Saturday! We sadly weren't able to attend, but Elder Kaupert said it was a really spiritual experience for everyone involved. Elaine (if you remeber her from previous letters) evidently was at the baptismal service, and went to church yesterday as well. Its cool to hear about these investigators I taught progressing!
Well, I'm sadly already out of time for today! Will have a longer letter next week!
Love
Elder Coleman Madsen
