Week 54 Transfers and Conference!

 Week 54  Sept 25-Oct 1, 2023  


Oct 5, 2023

Hey guys! I hope you all are doing well, it is crazy that it is October already! I can't believe I have been on a mission for a whole year! 

Anyway to start this email off I guess I can talk about transfers. I am staying in my area for a fourth transfer. Sadly Elder Peterson is leaving, and going up to Forest Grove. My new companions name is Elder Liddiard, and this will be his third transfer in the mission. However, you all remember a little virus called Covid right. Anyways long story short, we got it and had to quarantine for 5 days the day of transfers. So I didn't even meet my companion until the second week of this transfer. So far he is pretty good! He knows a lot for only being in the mission 3 months. 
We had zone conference a couple of weeks ago, and the topic they focused most on was finding. Which was great for us because right now our areas teaching pool is pretty small. We have been able to do more finding these past couple of weeks, it has been super cool to see how when you put in the effort, the Lord will bless you. I have been getting a bigger testimony of the Book of Mormon, and have come to love it more, so my desire to have people read it has grown!
Lastly, I really enjoyed general conference! I really liked the overarching theme of God's love for his children. There were lots of great messages that I can't wait to go back and watch, and remember Think Celestial!

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...
