Week 3

 This week was so awesome. It started off with conference. Conference in the MTC is an awesome experience. I loved every session, although I may have fallen asleep for one of them. However I had multiple pages of notes for the first time. Anyway President Nelson's talk about overcoming the world was pretty good.The world is an evil place, and through Christ we can truly be in the world but not of the world. President Nelson said "In coming days we will see the greatest manifestations of the Saviors power that the world has ever seen", that was a powerful statement that made me want to take action. I hope that you will all heed the prophets council and strive to overcome the world. Anyway after conference weekend we started Monday with some service, it was super easy just vacuuming and setting up chairs. It was awesome to serve the Lord in the MTC. The rest of week was mostly classes, increasingly more gross meals, and crazy nights. I got my football stuck in a tree, but don't worry we got it out. I got to witness pangea, and I got a super awesome package from my boi Max, it had a mini football, basketball, a wubble bubble ball, and an avocado.. Elder Nelson somehow fell out of his bed. I played a lot of spikeball, and got woken up by 4 elders singing fishing in the dark. We had a devotional from the general primary president. I got to do two helping others, which is basically teaching an investigator but some of them are actors. Overall it was a super fun week, filled with lots of laughs, and spiritual moments. I really love my district and am learning to rely on the Lord. I miss you all and wish you the best this week.

P.S. for Week 3 Well I just got locked out of my room, so hopefully Crane and Miller can get a spare room key. 

Care package!

Week 6 Happy Halloween

  This week was awesome! Not much rain surprisingly but it was still fun. My week started with p day of course, and like last week we played ball the whole day, I'm still bad. The week started with exchanges. It was super fun, and cool to be able to learn from my ZL. The cool part about it is he is from my stake back home in Arizona. Anyway during the exchange we taught a super cool guy named Rusty. We taught him the Restoration, and had a good lesson. Overall the exchange was fun, and I learned a lot. The next day was zone conference. Zone conference is basically a time for us to get trained by our mission president, the tech specs, and the APs. Is was such an awesome experience, and I definitely felt the spirit. We talked a lot about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. Also we had PMG trivia, and me and my comp won one round and got prizes. After that Thursday and Saturday were pretty much the same old same old. Bike or drive around. Go visit people, teach some lessons, tract...

Week 102 Mission Update

 Week 102 Mission Update 9/2/2024 Hey guys I figured I should write an email, seeing as I only have one month left. Last time I wrote I was in Brownsville and I had Elder Lash as my companion. Since then transfers have happened...and alot since that.  The rest of my transfer with Elder Lash was good we worked hard and saw the hand of the Lord in our work. We were able to share the restored gospel with lots of people, but whether they act on it or not is up to them. We had lots of fun P days and I got to live with one of my past companions for his last transfer. One P day we went to this place called blue pool it was crazy but good. We have been teaching some cool people and helping them come closer to their Savior. Paul is still on track to getting dunked which is hype.  Then I got transfer calls and I am staying in Brownsville for my last transfer. I am getting a new companion named Elder Palmer. Me and him had a blast. We worked hard and experienced alot....

Elder Barker - First Week!

Image
 Logan was set apart as a full time missionary last Sunday September 18, 2022 by our Stake President in our home. It was a very special and spiritual experience. Our home has definitely benefited from the Spirit that accompanies a full time missionary. Home MTC is wonderful and a blessing to missionary and family. Here is his first letter: First Week! Hello, This first week has been great! It has taken a while to get used to the missionary standards, but I'm getting there. I was able to meet my companion and district on Monday. My companion is so awesome and we get along great. My district is also awesome, and super fun. You know home MTC has its perks, like getting to spend lots of time with my family, before I head our for 2 years, but 7 hours of zoom every day gets pretty tiring. Luckily the Lord is helping me every step of the way. The classes we have are super fun and entertaining. It is so cool to learn more about being a missionary and the gospel of Jesus Christ. The wa...
