Week 10 Turkey Week

  Logan.Barker@missionary.org

Hey guys, this week was super awesome! We got two p days, and had lots of fun! Also Thanksgiving on the mission isn't actually too bad. Anyways the week started off with p day and yes we played basketball all day. It's always nice to have that break. Tuesday came super fast, and to start it off we had to drop off a missionary leaving our area, 'cause of transfers. The rest of the day was mostly just visits, and a member dinner. Wednesday was fun, we started the day with a run to the gym, there is this super nice member that let's us use his gym so it is great. Then at the end of the day we went to McDonalds. We got our food, and this homeless guy started talking to us. He went on about politics, and bunch of other stuff. After he was getting up to leave, he took one of our Mcchickens, and a handful of my fries, and as he was leaving he promised us a house and a car, so I guess it's nice to know that I now have a house and car waiting for me. Then Thursday, we played football, ate turkey at a members house, and then ended the day with basketball. We got a new missionary in the apartment he is pretty awesome. It was super nice to have two p days In one week. Friday and Saturday was back to missionary work. Sorry this was a short email but I have lots of pictures. I hope all of you are doing well, and that you all had a great Thanksgiving. As we have now entered into the Christmas season, I would encourage all of you to spread your light, and strive for personal revelation. I would also encourage you to remember the reason for the season. We celebrate Christ's birth this season, so don't forget him this season, and always remember to rely on the greatest gift ever given, the Atonement. I hope you all have a great week, and Merry Christmas.

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...
