Week 24 I Love This Gospel!

Logan.barker@missionary.org



 Hey guys! I hope you're all doing well, and you had a great week! My week went pretty well, I am finally kind of learning how to study, and apply what I learn into our lessons with friends. 

The theme of this week could probably be blessings actually. One of the best things about being a missionary, is always being able to be there for people. On Tuesday, we were in our apartment, and we get a call saying that our member needed help giving a blessing. Luckily we had our lesson move, so we had the time to go help with that. The blessing was a very good and needed blessing. The other blessing experience this week was on Thursday. Our friend Alan, after we rushed him to the emergency room, ended up in a rehab center. So we eventually found him, turns out missionaries are great at finding people, especially those who don't want to be found. Luckily Alan wanted to see us, we walked in the rehab center, and nobody said anything to us, like at all. So we were just strolling around a rehab center looking for him. Funny enough he was in the very last room we looked in. Anyway we were able to talk to him for a bit, and he brought up baptism himself, but overall it was a great conversation. At the end of our meeting, we told him about priesthood blessings, and asked if he wanted one. He wanted one, and I was able to give the blessing. It was so cool to just talk, I had like no thoughts in my head, and I just started talking and hopefully I said what he needed. 
Later in the week we had a super cool lesson with our friend Debbie. We just talked about how God and Jesus Christ can bring hope and joy into our lives, it was super cool. Anyway I hope you all have a great week, I miss you all, and of course 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...
