Week 49 - 50 Dylan's Baptism!!!

 Week 49   Aug 21 '23 -  Aug 27 '23  

 Week 50   Aug 28 '23 -  Sept 3 '23

Sept 6, 2023

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while since a wrote. Hopefully you guys have had great weeks!

The biggest thing that has happened, is Dylan got baptized!!! It was such an amazing experience. He was so prepared, and the Lord blessed us every step of the way. The coolest part about this was even though we technically taught him every thing, is was the members, (his grandparents) that actually helped learn more, feel the spirit, and truly become converted to Jesus Christ. Dylan has been investigating the church for about 5 years, and through it all his testimony has become so strong! This Sunday he got confirmed, and he also got the Aaronic priesthood. In a couple weeks we are planning to go do baptisms with him at the temple! Overall I think Dylan had a great experience, and he is on the path for lifelong discipleship. 
Also I have started this new study. In a talk given by President Nelson he talks about how we can draw the power of Jesus Christ more fully into our lives. One of those ways is get to know him better. He talks about how he read every scripture in the topical guide under Jesus Christ, and all 50 subheadings, once he did this he said that he became a changed man. So that is what I am starting, I hopefully will come to know and love Jesus Christ more.

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...
