Week 105-106 Final Email

 

September 25, 2024

Hey guys I figured I should write one last email before I go home.

First things first I did it! I made it 2 years. 2 years of service to my Father in Heaven and my Savior. It truly was 2 of the best years of my life. I loved learning more, and trying to be more like my Savior.  I loved teaching and sharing my testimony with others, and even helping some make their first covenant with God. I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the blessing it is to my life, I don't know where I would be without it. 

For my last couple of weeks as a missionary I finished strong out in Sweet Home. We knocked alot and had quite a few good lessons. I also had a great exchange, where we had some great lessons that make missionary life worth it.

I am running out of time, so I will let you all know that God lives, Jesus Christ is his Son and our only way back to the father. I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is our blueprint for joy on earth and in the life to come. I know the Book of Mormon to be the word of God, I know that we can get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts than by any other book. I know Joseph Smith is a prophet, and through him the Church of Jesus Christ was restored. I am so so greatful for the time the Lord allowed me to serve him full time, and can't wait for a life of continued disipleship. 

Love you all, signing off for the last time!!

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 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...
