Dear Family,
pictures: two are of our district before Elder Baker left to Ada and Elder Madsen from Gunnison, Utah came to join us. The other is of Elder Madsen and I doing some laundry. I'll get some better pictures coming. There is another home game this weekend, so some time will be at the family fun zone.When Elder Madsen got here we got settled in and headed out to a great first week of work and some inspiring words of Prophets, Apostles, and other General Authorities. We have had some great new people come into the picture this past week and hope to see some progress in testimonies. None came to watch conference, but hope to see some commitment come. The days are cruising by and we just seem to be busier and busier as the days go by. This transfer should bring some great accomplishments. Elder Madsen is keeping me well focussed and has a lot of ambition to help everyone he sees. He has a lot of faith and a great testimony of the restored gospel and people just seem to let him in more than I'm used to. The first night we went tracting, we were getting close to the end of the road and he simply asked if we could come in and share a quick message about the church and the door opened to let us in. Eric is in high school and we found out he knows a few of the members and has been to church before and he willingly accepted our invitations. We hope to see many great things come because of this experience and others we have had daily since then.Among all the inspiring words spoken this past weekend, my favorite talks were given in the Priesthood session of conference, which complimented each other perfectly; President Uchtdorf and President Eyring. President Uchtdorf helped me want to be more temporally prepared and diligent and as President Eyring spoke a felt a great desire to never do wrong and always be spiritually prepared in all cases, at all times, and in all places. The most talked about by the members we've seen the past couple days was Elder Jeffery R. Holland as he laid down the power and truth the Book of Mormon holds.Its been a great week and happy to hear of another niece. I can't wait to meet Abby. Congratulations Jeff and Heather! I love you all!-Elder Glenn Osness
