Week 48 Attack of the German Shepherds

Week 48 August 14-20

August 24, 2023

 Hey guys, hope you week has been great!

It's crazy we are already half way through August. The weeks just keep flying by.
Anyway this week was a pretty good week. On Tuesday we were able to have a lesson with a family we have been trying to meet with my whole time in Willimina. 
Anyway like most weeks, we did lots of contacting and finding. This week we tried a different way of finding. We used some chalk, found a good sidewalk, and we drew the plan on salvation love diagram with our number next to it. 
The rest of this week we had SPC, and  interviews with President. Friday was our big contacting day, and one of our contacts just happened to have 16 German Shepherds. It was crazy, and if you just walked into the gate without the owner  they would run, and bark at you. (He told us on the phone that when he was on his way back to the house after getting something from the car all 16 dogs started charging at him teeth bared, until the owner with one word called them off and that was the most scared he has ever been.) Anyway he was a super cool guy, and hopefully we will be able to reactivate him. 
We had another lesson with Dyaln this week!! This one was the hard one though. We talked about the law of chastity, the word of wisdom, and the law of tithing. I think it went pretty good. I am so excited for his baptism next week!!!!
Then to end off the week our ward had a picnic activity. It was super fun, and cool to hang out with the ward more. That's about all for this week, I miss you all and wish you the best!

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...
