Week 12 Leaves


Logan.barker@missionary.org

So this week was pretty slow not sure why, but it was. Anyway the week started off with basketball. The next day we taught an old guy who is ready for baptism, but he thinks he is too old so it is going to take a while. After that we raked leaves for an old couple in the ward. We also helped them with stuff in their garage, and I had to pick up a rat with maggots, so that was fun. The next day we basically visited some people, and made the biggest leaf pile ever. It is 4 men raking leaves for 3 hours so it was pretty big. Anyway that was super fun, and exhausting. Most of the next two days was visiting people, and making contacts so thats always fun. Also I am able to drive now so anyone in Oregon watch out. Overall this week was great, and I had lots of fun. Also I get to go to the temple, so I am super excited for that. Thanks for everyone who has written me, I am working on getting back to you, I'm just busy. Anyway, think about Jesus this season and give something to him, cause he gave you the greatest gift ever. I wish you all the best, and hope you have a great week.

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...
