yo what up family?
Well this week is pretty crazy. I actually talked to President and he said that my date is still scheduled for the 18th of July, so that is way sweet I am super excited, only 8 more months. Time is flying by so fast! We are actually gonna go out to dinner with the Solomon's on Thanksgiving because they are gonna go to a restraunt that does a Thanksgiving dinner and they have pie and everything, I am so excited for all of these holidays to be over because I just miss everyone around this time of year and it is suppose to be the best and it is the worst. The package has not come yet, I was getting really excited. I did get your card thanks so much. I enjoy getting the pictures I really enjoy them. Well the week has flown by so fast. Elder Evans and I are doing good, I really am grateful to be his companion. Things here are really picking up in the work, we have scheduled a baptsim for Rose this Saturday, that is gonna be awesome she asked me if I could do that, so I will be baptizing her, totally cool, but we are working so hard right now we had five investigators in church and five less actives that is way awesome, we had a total of 53 people in church I don't think there has been that much ever. We are helping so many people to prepare for baptism and so we should have a couple more by next week. The members are being so great we are getting fed plenty and I am definately getting fatter like always. But it is getting to the point where I am definately ready to do something about it. I am loving Tortola. The Elders from St.Thomas are coming over tommorow to do the baptsimal interview so I just can't get away from Elder Dixon hahah its all good it is always nice to see them every once in a while. I am loving the work, we are literally working everyday all the time and its flying by so fast to think that we are already in the second week of the transfer. It just boggles my mind some say that the last six months just flys well if it flys by that fast I will be home tommorow hahah. Well I love you guys so much. Logan

Elder Evans is way cool he is from Utah, we have the same time out in the mission its pretty cool because we both kind of slacked in the begining of our missions and now we have a strong desire to work and so we are goimg to work miracles here. I will be watching for the package. I hope the cookies stay good they are always so good. Right now we are teaching alot of people that are progressing. We are still teaching Manuel and we are teaching Rose she wants to be baptized on the 29th of November we also have the 29th for S**** and M****. We are still working with them we are going to see where they stand. I took pics of Esther's baptism, you know who I am, I am your child. We actually got to have a Thanksgiving dinner with the Kalamas and they made us punkin pie and turkey and stuffing and it was delicous! They are going to be out of town,for Thanksgiving so their kids made them make it early and so they invited us over to eat. it was so good. Sounds like you are having so much fun that is good thatyou got the horse, so Dad has started fixing cars, how about mine? I think I am going to sell it now, if you can get it sold before I get home that would be so awesome. I am having the experiences of a life time, just think only 8 more months that is pretty exciting, well I love it andI am enjoying the mission so much! I love you and have a great week. Logan

Hi Mom and Dad!
Yeah, I heard about the new president situation. We shall see what the future has to offer, it’s scary but thank goodness for the gospel, truthfully I love it. You asked about Rose and Esther, they are super awesome they are cousins to Shirley the girl I baptized in May, well they are coming along really well they are both from Haiti and are super awesome we have been teaching them for a couple of months so that is super cool. I am glad that you enjoyed the letters. I am trying to write every week, I got your card yesterday it’s late for Halloween but oh well I enjoyed it none the less. My week was actually really good, Elder Dixon is going to leave almost certain of that I will get a new companion but who that is I have not the slightest idea, hopefully someone younger because I have worked with no one but missionaries that have the same time as me. That is so awesome that you have been getting the time with Tristan its crazy to look at them and see how much they have grown in a year and a half, almost hahaha well I am getting excited. I really am excited for some change but at the same time I am going to miss Elder Dixon so much truthfully he is a great person and has taught me a lot about the scriptures and how to understand them he is a genius in that subject, we are still teaching our English class to all of the Dominicans and Spanish to all the gringos it has been pretty cool because it has helped me so much in my Spanish and really understanding the language for sure been a true blessing. Mom and Dad I am seriously loving it here we had our interviews and so I am scared that I will leave next transfer, I want at least four transfers here seriously, but it is out of my hands so what else can you do. I really love it here! I really enjoy it here though we get surprises often, President Kalama came over the other day and brought us pizza so that was really nice and the Solomon’s took us and the Virgin Gorda Elders out to lunch so that was cool. I love it so much here I have been blessed. But all is well and I will write you Tuesday. Love, Logan

Book of Mormon in 30 days
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008
Hi Mom and Dad!
I am glad that you got the postcard. I sent one to Grandma and Grandpa so
hopefully they get it. I cannot believe that Halloween is on Friday we were suppose to have a Halloween party but we are being commanded to be in the house at 6 pm. So that means we cant go that is kind of sad because we were planning all of the activities, a little lame, oh well that means that I can just have a good nap and sleep! I don’t know if I told you but President asked us to read the book of Mormon for the month of October and I finished it last Sunday, it was so awesome its just great to be able to read it in such a short time because you seem to get so much out of it and I loved it,especially just all of the warning that is gives us, you know I was thinking a lot about one thing that it said I believe that Mormon said it or Moroni I am not really sure but he was talking about the church in the last days and that you are going to see a lot of people that will wear costly apparel and will set there things on the things of the world. It just said that his warning was like a warning from the dust of the earth because he is already dead so that was really cool. It really got me thinking about how vain I have been.
There have been so many things that I just figured that I had to have and
I just went out and got them it just makes me think about truly what is
important in life and why do we have to be so prideful? I have really tried
to change my life around a little and put those things first and well its
just since reading the book of Mormon so fast have seen a change in the
way that I look at life, its truly amazing. I am trying to pick up on French,
I am just working a lot on pronunciations so that I can start reading because
if you can read then you will be able to talk faster and learn faster so
that is what I am focusing on, its been great for sure. Virgin Gorda was
good its been fun I don’t like it that much because its just so small and if
I never go back there to work I would be perfectly fine its just weird when
it takes you fifteen minutes to walk the area that they can work. Rose and
Esther are coming along really well its been really fun seeing them grow, and actually start to have tat desire to be baptized well as you would know we actually had our zone conference yesterday so we got the chance to go over to St. Thomas and it was really great, President and I talked a lot, he is a great guy he said that I have a great attitude and so that was nice to hear!
Elder Dixon will more than likely be leaving he is ready to go its
just a matter of time two more weeks I guess hahaha. So did you decide if you were going to get a horse? I absolutely love the photos that you send to me! I put them in my scriptures so that I can always have them handy to show people. I love you guys so much. Actually people seem to say that you and your Dad are pretty different because they say that I am a little city boy and its funny to think that I have a Dad like that, its just not what they expected and then I tell them I have killed my fair share of animals and they laugh at me and think that I am not serious. It is so funny! I also have decided that I will just keep my car, so please get it nice and fixed up maybe even finish the interior for me that would be the greatest, I wanted a nice car but I decided there is just no point of getting a new one that would just be selfish, so maybe you could get me some nice big rims and just get it really fixed up before I get home that would be the best thing everrrrrrrererererererererrrrrrr. Things are great here I am loving it! We have started a English class and we are seeing lots of success I am teaching people Spanish and Elder Dixon is teaching English so that is cool, but other than that nothing much more. Love You!
