Letter March 12th, 2008

Hi Family!
Yes I got the battery I forgot to tell you last week that when I was doing laundry the battery fell out of my clothes and well it works fine so I guess I will have an extra battery.

I watched the DVD that you made with us Wells Missionaries and absolutely loved it for sure.

I know that President knows what is going to happen because we had zone conference on Monday and he said that he heard from the doctors and that he was going to call me and today is Wednesday so I will call him today and he will probably call you after. But there is no doubt that everything will be okay.

I figured that Colten would speak it really is not that big of a deal really.
That is super sweet that Stacey and Sherry are going to come for Colten’s farewell, give them a big hug for me. Okay.

I have the greatest story this week it was so awesome so there was this kid his name is Andres well he is super cool he said we could come by his house and well we went by there on Monday and well he started talking to us and it turns out that he has been taught the discussions before and so we started asking him questions taught him the first and second lesson he already knew everything and then we watched “Finding Faith in Christ” and he loved it and then he was like when can I get baptized and we asked when do you want to get baptized and then he said when can you baptize me and we said this Sunday well he was super excited because he has wanted to get baptized for over a year I don’t know what happened but he wanted to be baptized and never was so he is super excited and never had I seen such a person prepared as he was. so coooooool. Well he then prayed and he prayed to be able to serve a mission go to the temple and be able to be baptized. The cool thing was, was that the Dad gave his permission and all was great. He is super excited and everything will be good. We also have been working with a lady named Heidi she is super cool she didn’t come to church last week but she wanted to. She is a single Mom and well we taught her and she was crying listening to our message and the spirit was super strong we are just hoping that she will act on our message and not let Satan grab hold of her. So well its super sweet the work is crazy here, the Ward is working really hard and they are begging to see the fruits of there labor. Jonathon will get baptized this Sunday to he is only a 8 year old kid so its like he will get baptized its just teaching him because we have had to teach him at the Church so we haven’t had as much time to teach him because his house is to crazy and well so what can you do, he might get postponed for one more week if we cant get to his house and teach him. But the work is definitely great, our Ward is starting a dinner sign up sheet in the Relief Society and so we will get a lot more food. Its way sweet though.

The only thing that I really want at this time I some cool Easter ties some light striped ones even if there silk that is okay. I hope that you put some ties in my package you just sent. I sure have missed getting them. You could send Elder Polanco a package he would love that he does like lots of chocolate and so that would be cool he would be grateful for what ever you gave him.If you wanted to find a cheap pair of pants for Elder Polanco his are all really small he needs like a 36 because his are all like 32 because he is getting fat.
I have not had the chance to get to old San Juan yet but we will hopefully this transfer one of these P-Days. The only game that I played in the MTC was four square and me and some of the other missionaries made jokes that we were going to come back with our tags and play one day. haha.I don’t know how I handled 9 weeks in there I don’t think anyone knows how they do it they just do, no but I had Elder Alexander and some cool missionaries we kept each other sane.
The Good Byes are not that big of deal, I look back now and see how funny we all looked. Only if we knew before hand what we were doing. It’s sad but for sure it’s all in your head. I cant believe that I am going to be out for 8 months Stefan is out 16 and when I left he had 8 and seemed like he was gone forever man time is such a weird thing. The cool thing is when we have a year out that will be the bomb.

Well Elder Tanuvasa and Elder Bangart and Elder Camden all left my zone and we got two more Latinos and another Elder that came out with me that has been out in the islands his whole mission. He doesn’t understand any Spanish and especially the Puerto Ricans so well he asked me if I understand and I said that I understand about 90 percent and he said that he will never be able to do it, its just so funny because I remember being in that position and thinking that I would never understand anything and well I understand almost everything. So crazy. Well life isn’t so bad and well I am definitely keeping busy ! I love you all so much! Peace, Logan
