Week 31 Mission Tour!



Logan.barker@missionary.org  Week 31 4/17-4/23/23

5/1/23

 Hey guys! How have these past weeks been for you? Mine have been pretty slow, not going to lie. However we still saw lots of miracles, and we were able to see Elder Johnson of the seventy! 

So this week we had something called a mission tour. What that basically is, is a general authority will come and talk to the whole mission, and give them some tips and other stuff like that. Every general authority that comes does it a little different, but Elder Johnson had it pretty much like a zone conference.
Anyway this week we did a whole bunch of service, and hung out with the members a lot. 
The huge miracle from this week was with our friend Debbie. We had two lessons with her this week, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. In these two lessons we taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ. We also told her that her Dad was learning the same thing she was, it was so cool to see her reaction when we told her that. The coolest part about it was she said that she had a desire to get baptized, and that was something she wanted to work towards. It has been so cool to see her progress and change since we have been over there. 
Anyway that's about it for this week but I hope your week has been great!

(A  cool story about the little boy in the picture. He is Ernie and was baptized a few weeks ago. He is so excited about being a missionary, that at the last ward event he tore a piece of paper and wrote Elder Buraos on it and put it in his shirt pocket. He really admires and wants to be like the missionaries!)

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...
