 Hey guys, I hope you have had a great week! Hopefully you were able to see the Lord's hand in your life, and be able to share your light! 

This week was literally just service. Like two days this week were all service. Our first service project was bailing hay. It gave us a good workout because each bail was 100+ pounds. But we knocked it out super fast. The next one was helping a hoarder clean up their yard. I saw some of the most random stuff ever. Like random metal poles, some buckets, recliner parts, etc. However as crazy as it was we got alot done, and the yard looked alot better after. Those projects were actually pretty fun, and we did alot. 
The next days service project was a little different. We helped this lady move for 4 and a half hours. She was moving in the same complex so luckily it wasn't too far. But wow she had alot of stuff for one lady. Like it was funny we would move a whole bunch of stuff, and she would say oh we're almost done, and we would look and we would have so much more. Anyway it was a long day but we got it done. 
The coolest part about this week was the weekend. On Friday night and Saturday almost every visit we made answered. It was so cool to talk to so many people, and have those experiences. But then Sunday, we got our friend Debbie to church. During sacrament meeting we had a great talk, we looked over and saw tears in her eyes. She told us it was exactly what she needed to hear. It is so cool how God knows all, and he was able to help her through that talk. 
Lastly as we were waiting for our ride home from church, someone found us and asked us for a blessing. I was able to give the blessing, and during this blessing a thought came into my head that I would have never thought of before. I know that priesthood blessing are truly from God, and that he has given us the priesthood to use and bless his children. If you ever think you might need one or just want one, don't ever hesitate to ask for one. 
Anyways that's all for this week, hope you guys have a great week, and 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...
