Week 23 Emergency Room Visit, and New Apartment

Logan.Barker@missionary.org

 Hey guys! I hope you have had a great week! My week was pretty eventful. So normally Tuesdays are our packed days. We have 3 lessons usually, and other stuff usually comes up so it's packed. Anyway we were in comp study, and we were planning what we want to teach all of our friends, when we get this text that says any chance you could give me a ride to the emergency room, and of course it had to be from our friend Alan. 

Anyway we get that text and kind of start freaking out, cause we can't give him a ride. Turns out it was not 911 worthy which was a good thing. So after we found that out, we started calling members and figuring out if any of them could give us a ride. We ended up finding someone, and it was a miracle because the person that was willing already knew Alan, so it wasn't weird or awkward when we picked him up. We got to his house and we were able to pick him up safely, and bring him to the emergency room. We dropped him off, and they told us we were free to go. 
The coolest part about this story was a few days after, Alan texted us, "amen Jesus lives"! Hopefully next time we meet with him, he will want to get baptized immediately 😀. I know the Lord works miracles among his children. How everything just fell into place and it all worked out was no coincidence. I am so grateful that the Lord blesses us, and cares about our lives. 
The other exciting event this week, was we moved apartments! So alot of last week was packing up the old apartment. Let me tell you guys, missionary apartments have the most random stuff in them. From homemade quilts, to railroad spikes, to spray paint, it has everything. So it took a while to pack everything up, and sort out what we needed and didn't. When the time came to move we had most of our stuff packed up, and we were able to move it all out! Sadly we lost our desks in the move 😥, but we got new tables so I guess it's OK. Here's the best part, our new apartment is suuuuuper nice. Like 2 full bathrooms and a giant kitchen. The only downside is we are on the second floor, so moving in wasn't the easiest, but it was worth it. Anyway living in the new apartment is great! 
I hope you guys have had a great week, filled with miracles, and feeling God's love for each and every one of you. Feel free to reach out I love hearing from you guys!!! Enjoy the rest of this week, and as always don't forget to pray.

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...
