hey fam!
sounds like a busy week. the usual ;) this week was good.
the
elder in my apt still doesnt want to talk to me much. but its better.
dad that sounds good with
school. i really think i'd like BYUI as well. i think that would be good after
a semester at UVU. i cant believe how little time i have left.
something kinda crappy happened today. an elder wanted to use my hair clippers. and he didnt use the converter. so the motor kinda "popped"
and it was smoking. so its broken. i have no idea how i'll do my hair for when i come home. i have been cutting it. seeing how long it will take to
get a certain length, so that when i come home i can have it just as long as i want it. and now its broken...kinda scared. but it'll be fine. anyway. not much time today. dad you'll see why in a second. love you all so so much! cant wait to talk!

(HERE
IS ELDER MADSEN'S GIFT FOR MOTHER’S DAY. THIS IS WHY HIS EMAIL WASN’T
VERY LONG:)
This is my gift for mom for mothers day. its a
poem. dad i would like
you to print it off. and then on
mothers day when i call i will read
it outloud as she reads it. here it is
My gift for you, this
mothers day
though its no work of
art,
is a poem i wrote, just
to say
i love you with all my
heart
There are so many things
that make you great
you have so many gifts
from above
so i've picked just a
few, if fact, ive picked eight
of the things, about you,
that i love
First is your smile, its
so warm and so bright
it can turn someones day
right around
second, your kind to
everyone thats in sight,
as a friend, you're well
renowned
Third is the fact that
you're creative and fun,
you've always got
something to do
whether christmas,
birthdays, or the errands we'd run
they're fun, if we're
with you
Fourth, your example,
just by living you lead
i couldnt as for much
more
you've taught me so much,
and i can say, that indeed
i know for women, i
should open the door ;)
Five is something you must have been taught,
there must be a mothers
handbook,
its all the different
occupations you've got,
like a nurse, a vet, and
a cook
Six, you're just happy,
its so plain to see
its like nothing can
bring my mom down.
when im sad, with you, is
where i should be
cuz you're the best at
fixing my frowns
Seven is how you're so
witty and funny,
i love laughing and
joking with you.
from your happy dance, to
your marshmallow bunnies
to getting abs from just
licking your spoon!
The last is the love that
you have for each child,
its as endless and deep
as the sea.
My temper, at times, was
a bit more than mild,
but you've never stopped
caring for me.
Well here they are,
numbers one through eight
i'd continue, but they
never end
Im still yet to find your
super-mom cape
i know you've got it! so
dont pretend.
I'd just like to end, by
saying thank you,
for being the worlds best
mom.
And that saying may be
cliche its true,
but trust me, its not
wrong.
LOVE YOU MOMMA!!
Dad. i want to skype mom for mothers
day. i want to surprise her. my
branch president is letting me borrow
his tablet and i'll buy the
credit this week. i'll have to call in
the evening. maybe around six
or seven my time. i cant remember what
time that will be for you. but
i'll call you before i skype. thanks
dad! love you. and just so you
know. all of these things apply to you
as well. you are both such
incredible parents.

hey family! so i dont have a ton to write today. i loved seeing all of you. it feels so weird seeing you. i just feel like im there. when i saw a couple of you get up and go to the sink, i just felt like i could walk on over and just get a drink. it was weird. mom i hope you had the best day. fam i love how we are so close. you have no idea the family situations i've seen here. we truly are blessed. keep being awesome. pray for me so that dads scary thought of me DYING doesnt come to pass. love you all. one down...5 more to go. (emails home that is)
