 Hey guys! I hope your last couple of weeks have been amazing, and you have seen multiple miracles throughout your life.

So I may have missed last week because of transfers, so this email will talk about the last two weeks. 
So two weeks ago, was a pretty great week. Two huge miracles happened. The first one was with our friend Jana. So she was a self referral, just looking for a Bible study, and we had gone over done some Bible study, and taught her the plan of salvation before. So this lesson we were going to teach her the Restoration. She has said before that she had promised her Grandma that she would stay Catholic, so we weren't sure how it would go. Anyway we went in there, talked for a little bit and started the lesson. Wow it was a good lesson, the Spirit was so strong, we were testifying, she even related herself to Joseph Smith. Anyway she told us she was looking for the true church, and she said she wanted us over weekly. Overall it was a super great experience, and amazing miracle. The second miracle was we put Debbie on date!!!!!!!! It was so awesome, to have my last lesson with her, seeing her pick that date. 
Anyway, transfer calls came, and I am getting transfered! It was super bitter sweet for me. I loved my comp, and the elders I served with, and the people I was teaching, but the Lord needs me else where. I am getting transferred to an area called Willimina. It is a HUGE area, and we cover 3 tiny towns. Also I am in a trio, and we are whitewashing the area. (This means all new missionaries in an area.) I have only been in the new area 1 week so I don't know too many people, but I have met the ward and they are awesome. The whole ward is missionary minded. We were able to help with a Mother's Day dinner (Happy Mother's Day), and I almost died, those are probably the biggest things that happened this week. Mostly just visiting people and trying to get to know the ward. Anyway sorry I missed a week, I miss you all, hope you have a great week.

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...
