Hi Mom and Dad!
I really can’t believe that tomorrow is October, that is a great thing for sure. Time is flying by so fast I can’t really believe it. I really don’t mind too much to tell the truth. We did find out that Elder Dixon will be staying another transfer which means that he will have over 8 months by next transfer it has to be rough on the guy he has had 2 areas his whole mission 4 transfers in Arroyo and 6 here which is crazy because I am in my sixth area, ha-ha. Elder Dixon is now fine he just had a really bad cold. Our zone conference was great and for like the tenth time we took a boat to St. Thomas. I don’t think I will have to pay duty on mail if they are in a padded envelope I hope not. I also wanted to ask for a French dictionary and a learning guide on, How to learn French because I am determined to learn that language and I know that I can, there are some French people here and I would love to try and speak to them, and so that is my new task. So Grandpa is doing better he had a pace maker put in? I bet he whole time he was probably saying just let me die, no he has to be there when I get home he does not have a choice! Our investigators are coming along. Diana’s father Dave did not get baptized but he is getting there I don’t think that they are going to be baptized the 10th because they have only came to church once and so we are trying to work with them and they have to get to church first but once you can get them to church they never stop coming so its getting over that first little hump. I am so glad to hear that the kids are doing good tell them I love them because I miss them so much we will have to plan a little trip to Colorado when I get home, so that I can see all of them. Well it’s going so good here I absolutely love it! Love you! Logan

Hi Mom and Dad!
How are you doing? I am doing great its awesome to hear that you are having such a good time in Colorado. Is it really pretty there? While your there try to find me a patch, I want to start putting them on my back pack. Yes that is Sister Solomon in the picture on the beach, she is from Arizona. Elder Solomon was taking the picture. This past week has been a little rough because my companion has been sick, so we have not had the chance to work much. It has been a bit difficult, but its all good. The family that we are teaching is doing great we are looking forward to giving them all baptismal dates tomorrow. Esther and Rose they are part of that family they have baptismal dates for the 10 of October. We are also going to give a baptismal date to Manuel tonight so that should be cool we are seeing so much success, the Lord is blessing us so much and the answers to prayers are definitely being answered. I need you to send me an iPod charger, I bought one here for 25 dollars but it broke so I won’t do that again it just stopped working kind of makes me mad but there is not much you can do about that. I love it here so much! Next weeks is transfers which I can’t believe are here again. So P-Day will be on Tuesday, just so you know. Well everything is great here, and I see so many blessing! I am grateful for everything! I love you so much. Logan

Hi Mom and Dad!
How are things with you? Well you asked about driving? Yes, they do drive on the other side of the road it is a little bit crazy. I was just thinking of telling you that because they have me driving one day a week so that when my comp leaves I will be able to do it. ha-ha its not that bad its just a little weird. I have not messed up yet but my Companion comes around the corners sometimes and forgets and almost hits cars straight on, He is a little cocky so he tries to show off a little bit you know how them Texans are, He is cool though. I did sent some pics home so you should get those I have not received a letter yet. The package didn’t come in and it turns out there really not a problem to get, I asked the Senior couple and they said that its never a problem it just takes a long time. I have not received anything since I have been out here just a package from Alexa that was given to me when the Zone Leaders came over, they were in Puerto Rico so they bring stuff over. I have not even received the newsletter for the month of September, so I don’t know. Time is flying by so fast I have almost been here for a month which is crazy . My 14 month mark is tomorrow so that is cool. We have interviews and Zone Conference tomorrow so I get to go down to St. Thomas so I am pretty stoked for that. Well my investigators are awesome we picked up five more family members of Shirley and Bernadette so we are working with them they are from Haiti. I forgot to tell you that there all really cool they speak French and English there parents all speak French and don’t understand English so that is crazy. It is so much fun though there are 8 total that we are teaching, but three of them have been baptized so we get to teach a big huge group that is fun. I really enjoy it, we are also still teaching Diana’s family she is from Guyana by the way and she is Indian so that is cool, no one is really from Tortola. They all just work down here. We are also teaching a girl named Elizabeth that is from the Dominican Republic she did not come to church last week but we are working with her. She is very open and is interested at what we have to say. That book you are reading was the one that I was trying to find, that’s funny that you picked it up. So how long has Dad been in Alaska? Seems like it has been forever. I loved the superman shirt I love getting things like that! I am working out in the morning and night to try and loose some weight I can’t handle being fat anymore! I don’t know how much I weigh because no one has scales here . That is so awesome to hear about Jay and Tina! I am glad they have the desire to go to the Temple that is so awesome! Everything is so good here! I love you and wish you the best week!

Hi Mom and Dad!
I love it here we had two baptisms last Saturday one was Diana and the other was a girl named Cherly she is 8 and Diana is 25. Cherly is a sister of a recent convert that has been coming to church for quite some time and has had that desire to be baptized so she asked us and we said of course so she asked me to do it, because I seem to be the funnier of us two and the younger ones seem to like me more so that is cool but I baptized her and Elder Dixon baptized Diana so we both got to go down into the water so that was awesome I loved it seriously, never in my life have I ever been so happy! I also got to confirm Diana on Sunday so that was a really spiritual experience for me, I absolutely loved it, it was awesome to just let the spirit dictate to me what exactly needed to be said at that time. Well we also have lots of investigators right now we are actually teaching four other family members of Cherly and Bernadette and they are progressing quite well they all said they would read and pray and come to church so that is exciting I am so excited for them. Manuel had to go back to the Doctors for a week so his date is postponed for now but we are going to get him baptized but we also have Diana’s father who has excepted to be baptized on the 27th of September so that is exciting we are baptizing a lot here and the work is just coming along really well so that is just awesome, I will send you my memory card home you just have to send me a new one because I left my other in my bags in Puerto Rico so the day you get me that I will send it straight home to you, but as for packages we have to be careful because they said sometimes they never get here. I will let you know what exactly happens I think it should be fine my companion really does not know to much he listens to other people all to often and does not figure it out for himself. As for the mail it comes straight here they have a little store that brings it in so that is how we get it. The thing is that I am hoping that we can stay together for another transfer that would be cool so there are about 29 missionaries coming this next few transfers do you know any Arizona missionaries that are coming? I have my Spanish scriptures I am fine. We get our mail when it comes in I think that it takes a little longer to get here than home but we shall see. The Virgin Gorda Elders have the same address as us so they receive mail when we do they just come here every weekend and get it from us. It would be cool to have a Christmas on this island. Tell Elder Keir “hello” for me and that he should write me a letter that would be sweet to hear from him! Give me his address and I will throw him a letter. Oh yeah that reminds me I need a long sleeve shirt we don’t have to wear our suits to church and I left my long sleeve at home. Could you send me one that can have cuff links? My companion gave me some so I would like to use them. I will send some pics home this week. I love it here and well I am glad that things seem to work out. I pray for everyone every single night and want everyone to know I love them so much! Thank you for everything you do for me! Have a good week Peace, Logan.

I am glad that your birthday went well because I wish I was there but I will be there for the 50th ha-ha to funny you will be turning 50 when I get home, ha-ha well that is cool. I will send my memory card home I just need you to send me another because I left the other in my suitcase back in Puerto Rico. Yes, that is the address you can use, and by the way you should get another letter I sent it to the old house that was before you moved so it should be there soon and I am sending another today, as for the moving I am so sorry I wish I was there to help you. I bet Dad and Granpa will have fun in Alaska. I am sure that Grandpa will be just fine he will probably have a really hard time there but he will just love it, I am just glad that he gets to do something that he ahs always wanted to do. I sent you a postcard home so you could see what it is really like here in Tortola. Let me tell you Mom I have never really been so much happy serving here on this island has meant the world to me. I had such a hard time in Puerto Rico and well its just been so awesome here. While I was in Puerto Rico I really was just going through so many steps and was not that happy but I love it here so much, the people are awesome! I love the views, I love working here and hope that I will be here for a really long time. As for old people I have gotten over that I love them now that all changed while I was in Puerto Rico. Diana is coming along well she has been taught everything. She is ready! She is super cool, she is super ready and loves hearing the gospel. Manuel is doing well he is lacking just a few of the commandments but he will be baptized its awesome. The black people that are here are from Tortola it started out as a slave place so that is where they all came from. The island is not that small, it is a small place but we are the only missionaries here so its cool it’s big enough. Oh, I took a small 8 person plane to get here it was an experience let me tell you. We will get to St. Thomas by boat. My companion is really cool he is way awesome, once again he has the same time as me in the mission we came out together but he was in the group that went to Santo Domingo. Mom I love it here so much, the people are awesome! I love hearing about all that is going on thank you so much for informing me I will keep everyone in my prayers! I need new garments so if you could send me some. I am sorry that I have spent so much money, I just came out here with nothing and everything is so expensive. Yeah its crazy so we get 300 dollars every month, but it goes fast. I will budget my money better this week. Well I love you and hope all is well! Send my love to everyone. Love Logan
