Yo what it do Familia?
Well zone conference is on Monday we are having a little Christmas thing supposedly all the Elders of the mission are going to be there except the ones on the islands. So you have emailed PePe? She is the Samoan lady she is absolutely awesome and definitely one of my favorites.
So yeah I am in Rio Piedras, my companions name is Elder Polanco he is from the Dominican Republic and does not speak a word of English, its cool though because it forces me to learn my Spanish and talk more in Spanish. It is in San Juan area it’s just another city in a city its like Phoenix we are part of the Phoenix area but we live in Mesa.
There is one elder from my MTC group over here he is in the area next to mine. I am biking, that’s it nothing else we walk after six because that is the rule but yeah biking all the way, it’s really hilly so that is a little bit hard. I am trying to get used to it.
Yeah I am at the college right now doing email. Christmas calls can only be 40 minutes long. That’s a bummer.
About Colten’s call, yes it will fine with me that he opens it.You can still just tape it and send me a memory card so that I can watch it. Unless it comes before Christmas then I want to talk and find out from him,so that will be fine.
We have a baptism on Sunday so that is cool her name is Pamela she is 15 and really cool. We have a couple of other people we are working with so we shall see. I don’t need the calling card for Christmas, as I will be calling from a members house, they have free long distance.
Things are good. Just the normal missionary stuff. Pretty cool I am excited for this Christmas stuff to be over.
It’s just not the same, but I cannot wait to talk to everybody on Christmas Day.
Peace,
Logan

Hola mi Famila,
Well the news is that I am leaving and Elder Osterloh is staying here. So that is the big news for the week. I don’t know where I am going yet but I will find out tomorrow and therefore I will tell you next week. So I hope you have not sent any letters to my apartment, if you have Elder Osterloh can just give them to me at the Christmas party on the 24th.
I got the newsletter, I really do not like my leaving picture it looks really bad and you should complain and try to get the original before, so that that thing is not on my plaque that would be great.
I especially enjoyed the girl’s letters that is awesome how good they are doing. If you see them tell them I send my love and good luck with everything.
So Eloy is a boy. Maria or Eloy did not get baptized this week its okay though its been a struggle for us because we have worked with them so much and well the Lord knows what he is doing, there is no doubt that they will get baptized it is just a matter of time. So I have learned another virtue of patience I think the lord is trying to teach me that he just keeps reinterating it to me through my work. Ha-ha it’s all good. They will both get baptized, eventually; it’s just too bad I won’t be there to see it. Elder Osterloh said he would call me when it happens.
We are getting only one Elder this transfer, and loosing a good 8 to 10 Elders. So Elder Osterloh is training the new Elder so that is pretty cool, we go pick him up today and we will be a threesome for a night. I have not opened all of the packages I saved the bigger one for Christmas day because I had to pack and it is not possible for me to carry all that stuff around. Well I loved the little quotes and stuff I keep them all and put them in my journal. So I need a new journal also, and a new shaver because mine is breaking. So yeah but that is all really. I locked the pictures that I wanted you to send me so if you could do that, it would be awesome.
So my guess where Colten is going is Jamaica or North Dakota or West Indies (West Indies is where I want him to go but he probably will not go there)I have my calling card but it is put away and I can give that to you next week. I sent my memory card home already it will get there soon. Well yeah so this week was really good. We just went contacting and found some really cool people but all is well. I am so excited to be in a new area, definitely ready for a change its going to be great. Well love you all and have a great week. Peace, Logan

Elder Wells having fun!
Glad to see that Logan is still a "Happy" guy! I miss his humor, and personality at home. This video makes me smile for sure.
Pictures
Logan sent his memory card home, so here is a peek at his life in Puerto Rico.
Here is Logan's "Casa"
They suprised Logan and Elder Osterloh, with a brand new 2008 Toyota corolla.

Letter Home December 5th, 2007
Mother and Father and Brother,
What is up this week was a bit tough. We didn’t have our baptisms but for sure they will end up being baptized. Maria had to work because her brother is in prison so she is doing a lot of stuff for him. Pretty crazy but she said she wants to be baptized this Sunday which is pretty cool. I am definitely excited. They will both end up getting baptized but it is just a matter of time. I know that without a doubt, I know that she had missed three baptismal dates but she has really good intentions and she will be baptized. For sure. Oh yeah Eloy did not get baptized either because at the last moment she said that she wanted to give him more time.
Yeah you sent a memory card but I sent another home and you never sent me one back again. Seriously, I am pretty sure. Hopefully and if not it will probably pop up somewhere. The memory card will be in today if you sent me one on Monday so I will make sure that I do that for you. I have some great pics I really want you to send me some I will have the ones I want copies of locked so that they can’t be erased so that you can know.
So that is sweet that you got that calling because that is exactly what you want to do. Pretty sweet. So have they already got my plaque up yet? Or are they running behind like the normal Valley View ward that I left behind?
Yes, here you also see a lot of caskets above the ground that is how most of them were. I don’t think the family could afford it.Yeah it was crazy to see her dead just laying there but its part of life we all die and there is nothing we can do about it. Didn’t really faze me at all. But it wasn’t Elder Osterloh that jumped in the grave it was Elder Oporto. He is from Colombia; he is pretty cool he came in at the same time as me.
So these twelve days of Christmas package I can’t say that I will save them because I am kind of excited but I will definitely try.
So I can’t believe that Colten’s papers are in I am so excited to see where he is going, man that is so exciting I cant wait. I know that I am not as excited as Colten but man I know exactly how he feels as for the waiting game I could never wish that upon anyone and I am sure that his papers will come back quick. So Morgan’s will be soon to that is so exciting. Were going to have three Wells missionaries out in the field that is going to be sick!
As far as transfers, this next week more than likely they will send Elder Osterloh to a different area because he was in his last area for 6 months and they usually trade your companion almost every time.
Well this week has been absolutely awesome I have met so many cool people as we were walking down the street the other day I was walking and we were looking for people to talk to well I was saying a little prayer in my heart for Heavenly Father to put someone in our way to talk to and meet and teach. Well there was this guy who was cleaning his yard we decided to talk to him usually we don’t talk to people that are cleaning and stuff because they are occupied and they will usually just shoo you away. Well we started talking he asked us if we wanted to come in and talk with him for a little bit and so we went in he gave us cake and some orange juice his Wife was there well we taught them and they were really cool and they wanted us to stop by again and talk some more well long story short the lord answers our prayers and it is important to always make sure that we have prayers in our hearts and that we are listening because it is so easy to just pass on by and never even notice. The Holy Ghost is a still small voice and well if we are asking and not listening it will pass us by and we will never know what happened. Well this week has been amazing time is flying by!
Keep me posted on Colten and Morgan's progress.
I love you all! Logan
