Week 43 July 10-16

Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while I hope you had a great 4th, and great weeks. 

Most of these past 3 weeks, has been working on visiting everyone we can from area book. We are starting to get to know a lot of people, especially because we are in such a small town. 
We were able to have a couple lessons with Dylan these weeks! The first one was a scripture study with him. We were able to study Moroni 7 and it was great as always! Then our second lesson is the crazy one. WE PUT DYLAN ON DATE!!! He is seriously so amazing, and so prepared. He is also starting to become one of our really good friends. Anyway before our lesson with Dylan we were preparing what to teach him and we prayed about a date for him. All of us got something a little different, like one got 19, and another 28, and 25. So we were thinking it had to be in the 20s somewhere so we decided on August 26th for him. So we went in there and taught him a few of the commandments. Then we invited him to be baptized, and he said he prayed about it, and picked the 29th. It was sweet!
The other super cool thing happened The other day. We some time we needed to fill so we decided to go knocking. Now I wasn't too excited to go knocking, but i knew I had too, and the Lord blessed us for it! The last house we knocked someone named Kathy answered the door. We were able to talk to her for about a half an hour, and gave her a Book of Mormon and she invited us to come back for some lemonade, and to talk!
A crazy story from this week was we were visiting one of our friends. Then on our way to visit the next friend, (which was in the same apartment complex) we were  walking and waved at a guy getting out of his car, and tried to talk to him. As soon as we did that he went off on us, just yelling at us and saying that we were horrible people, and we were offending him, so we just moved on and went to our contact. The guys house was right above us, so as he was walking by he kept yelling at us telling us not to stop by. Then, here's the best part. He walks back out of his apartment and this time he comes out with his phone and starts recording us! So we put in a plug for ourselves, but he kept yelling at us, and a whole bunch of other stuff, and we were starting to get a little angry so we left, and as were we getting to our car we looked back and saw him still recording us. 
Anyway hope you guys have had great weeks sorry for the short email, and remember even if you don't want to do something, and it's good, do it and the Lord will bless your efforts!

Week 6 Happy Halloween

Image
  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...
