Week 9 Transfers, panda, and dead fish

Image
  Logan.barker@missionary.org This week went by so fast! Every day flew by. At this point I have been in the field for a whole transfer, and been set apart for two months, crazy right. It feels like just yesterday I was hopping on my first online MTC zoom class. Anyway, as I'm sure you all know Monday is p day, and guess what, I played basketball, I know, this week I  decided to be a little different. Let me tell you guys though usually Monday are the tough days, but on the mission it's Tuesdays. After a super chill and slow p day you have to hop right back into the action. Tuesday started with mentoring again, then we had another lesson with Alan. He is doing great, this time we almost had him committed to come to church. After that we had service that canceled on us, and then a bunch of visits. After dinner we had a lesson with the family that has the crazy kids again, this time they were all asleep, so it wasn't bad. Wednesday we had a lesson with Ernie a progressing 9 y...

Elder Barker would love to hear from you. Logan.barker@missionary.org   This week was fun. We definitely stayed busy, and has lots of fun. Of course the week started off with p day. It was fun, we balled of course, dropped of some dry cleaning and had a lesson with an awesome guy named Joe. The lesson was super awesome, and the spirit was very strong. He has met with some missionaries before but we re taught him the Restoration. Tuesday was kind of crazy. For most of the morning we did nothing because our whole apartment was sick. Here's the deal though half of our zone was quarantined, so we were really worried we would suffer the same fate. However Elder Larsen (a roomate), and I tested but we both got negative so no quarantine. Anyway we mostly just visited some people and had dinner with the Adam's a great family in the ward. After dinner we had a lesson and their kids were actually crazy. We were teaching the plan of salvation and they were like throwing our puzzle everywh...

Week 7 “Week something I can’t remember”

 Logan’s email: Logan.Barker@missionary.org Mailing address (current location through the end of 2022, not the mission office) 155 8th St apt #1 Lebanon, OR 97355 This week went by crazy fast. Not much happened this week but it was still fun. Most of my days included visiting people, biking and lots of study. I also had a ward pie activity and and was fun. However I really got hit with the rain this week. It has been raining for almost two days straight. There is huge puddles everywhere, and we hit them with our car it's pretty fun. Also we saw snow for a little bit which is something I haven't seen in a while. The coolest part about this week was finding a new person. She is so awesome and has a strong desire to be baptized. We taught her two lessons in one session so hopefully she will be baptized in about one month. The mission is super fun, and I am loving every second of it. This week one talk that stood out to me was called becoming a missionary by David A Bednar. It is a...

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...
