Week 27 Packed Week!

Hey guys! I hope you all had a great week. This week was crazy. So first we got to start off with p day. P day was amazing! One great thing about Oregon, is how beautiful it is. So naturally we had to go and see all the beautiful spots around here. It was insane. First off I learned never give an Arizona boy some snow. I haven't seen snow like that for like 4 years it was crazy. So naturally, we had to play in the snow, and of course we didn't have snow clothes, so we probably didn't think it through, but hey it was still fun. Anyway we went and saw a waterfall, and this place called blue pool. Then we found an abandoned ski resort. I would go into detail but this email would be insanely long. Anyway it was a blast and we saw so many awesome things!
However that was just the beginning of this week. Wednesday was one of my most packed days on the mission. It was like a lesson gauntlet. A lesson at 12, then at 1, another one at 2:30, dinner at 4, then the last lesson at 5:30. It was crazy, but it was awesome, daily planning that morning wasn't too bad.
Thursday was temple day!!!!! I looked forward to this for like a month. We were able to sneak in one lesson in the morning, then we had to head to the temple. It was amazing as usual, it is almost unexplainable, but you actually feel closer to God. Anyways if you can, go to the temple often, it is such a nice refresh from the world.
Then to end the week off we had a baptism! It was so cool to be able to baptize Ernie, and see him make that commitment to his Savior Jesus Christ. He is such an awesome little guy, and am so grateful I was able to help him progress toward living with his Heavenly Father again.
Anyways this week was so awesome! I love being a missionary, and serving my Savior. Oh, also I hit 6 months as a missionary last week, the time really has flown by. Transfers calls also happened, and I will be staying in Lebanon for another transfer, with Elder Hamblin still my companion.
I hope you all have a great week, and make sure to say your prayers!

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 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...
