Hello, everyone I hope your week is going well. Mine was alright, it had lots of rain, service, and biking.


Anyway my week started with p day. We pretty much just balled out [played basketball] the entire day. I basically got destroyed, but it's OK it's not my sport, and hey it just means I have 2 years to improve. Then the next day we had a lesson with Alan, he is probably our closest to baptism. He just doesn't understand a couple of things. Other than that this week consisted of mostly visits and tracting. The rain season is indeed not a joke. The "Oregon sneeze", sticks around for about 7 months so here we go I guess. It's not too bad, at least it's not like super hot in the summer. Anyway service here is fun. One project we did this week was helping someone do yard work. Their yard legit looked like it hadn't been touched for years. We were attempting to mow the super long weeds, and one of the elders nailed a bees nest. Luckily ya boi avoid all of them, not everyone was as lucky though. Anyway we also went mattress shopping and the cashier was like golden for teaching, so hopefully he calls us. So just to let you all know biking in the pouring rain is not the greatest thing ever. But it led to some awesome things. We were tracting and we handed out a Book of Mormon, and a gospel pamphlet. So you never know when good things can happen. We visited a lot of people this week. One of those didn't answer the door and this was like the second or third time they didn't answer, one of those times there kid started to open the door cause we had a lesson scheduled but she stopped them. So I said to my companion we should probably drop them cause they don't seem interested, and right after I said that I look up and see her getting out of her car. Anyway long story short the Lord did not want us to drop her yet. This week was fun, and lots of cool things happened. I hope you all are doing great, I miss you all, and wish you the best. Feel free to send me an email or message anytime I love to hear from you guys.

Week 6 Happy Halloween

Image
  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...
