Week 47 August 7-13

August 16, 2023

 Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while since I last wrote an email. Not tons of super big stuff have happened, mostly just contacting people, and trying to get lessons. 

However things with Dylan are going great! We are getting about 2 lessons a week with him, and his baptism is coming up soon!! Also last week for p day his took us to an airplane museum, that he works at. It was so cool. They had an airplane there called the spruce goose. This thing was massive, and it was mostly made out of wood. They said it was the only one in the world, so that was pretty cool. They also had WW2 fighters and lots of other planes. 
Anyway transfers happened, and Elder Peterson and I are staying comps, while Elder Andrew is going to Dayton. It should be a fun transfer. Our district shrunk down to only 4 people so that's gonna take a second to get used to, but other than that  not much is changing this transfer. 
This past week was pretty crazy. We got to go to the temple last Friday and do baptisms!! It was amazing, then afterwords the ward took us to Applebee's. I always love going to the temple, hopefully we will get to take Dylan up there after his baptism. Then after the temple we had stake conference this week as well. It was really good they touched on faith, and being like our Savior a lot. 
That's about it for these weeks, I'm going to work on making my emails better and more entertaining, but for now I hope you all have a great week!!

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...
