Here is his last letter:

Hey, Things are going great here. We had a baptism of 5 last Sat. Internet is slow so I will send picturesnext week. I am really loving my area though. It is not as beautiful as Mahajanga, but it is great in its own way. Plus it is going very very good right now. Just last week we had 5 brand new investigators come to church. I am so excited for this area. Things are definately being carried by the hand of the Lord. Well also I did get a change that happened; I got a new companion and they split my area into two areas, because it was just so big and our schedual was too full. I am training a new Elder that just barely got here, his name is Elder ***. He says feel free to look up his mom on Missionary mom or whatever you crazy ladies are doing now days. It might help her get over some stress. That is if you remember what it was like for you when I just got over here. Haha so ya. YOu can be a missionary too right now. He is very cool. He is from SLC and he has a ton of guts. His first night with me I just told him to bear testimony and not to get too stressed, but if he wanted to to feel free to cut in and try to teach what ever he wanted. Well he taught alot. I was very impressed. Also I taught him a new way to teach about prophets and he took it and taught it perfectly that night in a time. I am very impressed with his drive. he will definately make a geat missionary. I have also just been put as Distric Leader. I hope that that goes good. Haha Yikes. But ya things are going good. We got 8 new elders here. They are all very cool, and all seem very motivated. I am also just shocked at how well the area is going. We set 6 more baptism dates this last week. Things are going great . I filled up my second memory card and am working on the 3rd now. Woo. I am not sure if there is anything I need, but a package, and more Black socks, and pictures of christ and alot of the temple to give to people and CTR rings. Other than that I think that I am good. And of course more pictures of the family. I love that more than anything. But Ya things are going great. I have actually not even tried to use my card since south africa so I am not sure if it works or not. I have not needed to use it. Things are going great. I read one of the conference talks and wow it is really good. I was way impressed. We get to watch conference this weekend so I am way excited. Hopefully it will help our investigators get some answers to some prayers. Things are going great here though. Tell everyone that I said hi.
Love Ya,
Elder Madsen
