Week 44 Pioneer Day Activity








 Week 44 July 17-23


July 24, 2023


Hey guys! Hope you have had an amazing week. For me this week went by super fast! We got to do lots of great work this week. 

On P day we went to Lincoln City, and went to this super cool place called fishing rock. It was so cool to be right there on the ocean. Then we played this super fun bored game called secret Hitler, it is basically Mafia. Anyway if you ever get the chance to go Lincoln City it is beautiful!
So it is getting pretty hot up here, and all we have is 3 fans. So we called the mission apartment managers, and we were like, hey could we maybe get an ac unit in our apartment. They said we could and they came down and put it in for us. Only problem was we were at a service project when they did, which would have been fine except we left our keys in the apartment, and they locked the door when they left. So when we got back we couldn't get in 😅. Luckily we were able to find a window they didn't lock and we could climb in through there, which was a fun experience! Anyway the good thing is now we have an ac unit. 
This week was mostly full of finding, meetings and service. During one of our finding blocks we saw someone working, and we offered to help, and he said we could. We were able to help and have a great conversation with him. Then on our way back to the car we stopped and talked to someone outside for like 30 min! She was awesome, and she said we could come back and talk some more some other time. It was awesome to see those miracles. 
This week I went on exchanges with the zone leaders! It was a super good exchange we walked alot and talked to everybody, it was a good day. 
To end off the week we had a service project, helping someone move. When we got there she said she had a couple things she needed us to do. One of those things included taking out a Murphy bed. Man I can tell you guys those things are CRAZY heavy, it was definelty not easy to take apart and move that thing. Later that night we had our ward Pioneer day activity. It was so fun, we had good food, and played lots of fun games.
Anyway hope you all have a great week!!

P.S We had someone come to church whose name is Joseph Smith, but he looks a lot like Jack black, it's crazy

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...
