Letter Home-February 20th, 2008

Well hello there.

Right now the knee has been getting so much better, I am not really hurting that bad. I know that the lord knows all and that I have defiantly found comfort in all of this. Well I know that all will be okay. The only thing was that I did not want to tell you as it is so much easier for someone else. I sent a letter home with the memory card
that will tell you more about my knee.

So Chad went to the temple that is so awesome he wrote me a letter last week I replied but I just don’t feel like sending any letters home when I don’t know what is going to happen.

I thought Dad thought that his CTR ring was lost. That is neat that you
fixed it for him for Valentines Day.

The CTR ring is fine; I like wearing it better on my middle finger anyways. I don’t even wear it out tracting because some of the areas are not the best in the world.

I got the Valentines package but not the memory cards I sent my memory card home last Friday. So you should get that soon. Somehow I have lost the battery to my camera, I don’t know how I did, I am still trying to fiqure that out. So I haven’t taken any pictures for awhile.

I have not got the vans yet but the Elders are going this week so hopefully they will pick that up for me. You sent me another memory card but it was the one with Colten opening his call and I sent that back.

So how excited is Morgan? I bet he is just ready to go. That is too funny that they are still shopping I was so ready to go when I left.

I can’t believe that Tristan is already two. Man that’s nuts. Considering he was just starting to walk when I left.

We baptized Jon Carlos along time ago, we are baptizing a kid name Jonathan in two weeks on March 2nd.

We are hoping to go to old San Juan next P-day, so that should be super fun. Pretty sweet. well yeah all is well and well have a great week.

Love Ya! Logan

Letter 2/13/2008

Mother and Family.
As for how grateful you are for me I promise that I am ten times more grateful for you. You have 4 kids to share your love and I only have one Mother to give all my love.

Well yeah I got the mail with the social security card. Thank you so much. I have not got the package because there was no one to accept it so they are going to bring it by tomorrow and I will get it.

Don’t worry about the shoulder bag I have one right now that will last for a good month more. Don’t worry about it.

Well the Elder that was with us in the trio went home this past week, he had a problem with depression so he was getting really bad and never wanted to work and well things just got crazy and so he went home last Friday. He was so good and man I miss him. He was awesome, and I learned quite a bit from him. But he needed to go and figure some things out.

That is so crazy that Morgan is already leaving I feel like he just got his call yesterday, oh wait he basically did. That is so funny about Colten being so picky about his shirts. It didn’t even matter to me. He will learn to just be grateful for all that he is given. All shirts are going to feel funny at first but they will get worn and will be good. Just tell him to wash them a couple of times and he won’t even be able to tell.

Yeah, Elder Kelly is in my Zone, poor guy! I feel bad for him, because he is over the Sisters. I don't have a title, Thank Goodnes! I am happy to be normal missionary!

I get along so well with my companion. I have been blessed so far with that. As far as the spanish, it is coming along, I can do pretty well at teaching and understanding.

I figured Colten was hanging out with Chad, because he wrote me a letter. That is definitely pretty cool because Chad is such an awesome friend and great example.

I figured that Grandpa was there, that is sweet. Looks like you have three kids again Dad Grandpa and Josh. Too funny. I can promise you now that I don’t pee outside of the toilet or on the seat because now I have to clean it because there is no one else to do it.

So you went to the dunes I remember when we went for new years last year, I don’t like it that much. But it was fun.

Yes in the tape you definitely hear the Koki frogs they are annoying and YES I am definitely accustomed to them right now.

Well things here are picking up. We have had 2 baptisms this transfer, with the hopes of 2 or 3 more for sure. Last month we only had 20 Baptisms in the whole mission, and 5 of them were in our District. There is about 25-30 Districts in the Mission. Right now our Mission is taking some hits, we are loosing so many ELders, and none are coming in. Since the 28 Elders that came the same time as me, we have had 20 go home, and only about 6-7 new Elders. This next couple of weeks when transfers come again, we are loosing 4-5 Elders, and gaining only 1 Elder. So crazy, huh?

We have an 8 year old boy who is going to be baptized the 2nd of March so that is pretty cool. His parents are not members but his Brother is and he they come to church with a member. They have been coming for a about a year now.

I just want to thank you for everything that you have done, and the family you have been my heroes and I am just thankful to have the family that I have.
Well love you peace. Logan
