Week 20 Basketball Games!

 

Logan.Barker@missionary.org

Hey guys, this week was a pretty good week. On Monday I went golfing for the first time. We played best ball which means whoever hits the best shot, is the one we play. As a group we were able to complete 9 holes for par. Wednesday was Elder Hamblin's birthday, so we were able to throw him a party it was so fun. Also the lessons we taught that day we also fun. We played badminton and exploding kittens, with Ernie, that was super fun. We also got to have a great talk with Alan, and he gave us a vegetable tray. Anyway Wednesday night, we went and saw a basketball game. It was so fun, we went and saw a members son play, and the Dad lost his voice, so it was a pretty hype game. Friday we had zone council. Our stake president came and told us about the stake goals and stuff like that. He wants us in the background of members lives 2 times a day, because that will help them trust us more, and that will hopefully result in referrals. So moving forward we are going to be working on being in the background of members lives. On Saturday, we had exchanges with the other Elders in our apartment. During the exchange I got to help build a house, and teach a super promising investigator. At night we went to a restaurant called Momijis. It is a sushi restaurant, and honestly I don't know how I even agreed to go there. Anyway it went just like I thought it would. I almost threw up, it was bad, I don't even know why I can't handle it, but wow that was rough. The highlight of the week was Sunday. We got 2 of our friends at church! One of them was Debbie, when we asked her about it after the meeting, she said that she felt the spirit, and she loved it! This church is true, and I know it. The spirit is undeniable, and this is our Saviors church. The sacrament is such a blessing, that every week we can reflect, and promise to do better. I love my Savior with all my heart, and am so very grateful for his atoning sacrifice for all of us!!! I miss you all and hope you have a great week. Feel free to reach out to me, I love hearing from you guys.

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...
