Tortola Branch is growing!


Hi Mom and Dad
Well, Thank-you so much for the letter. I am so glad that you had fun when you visited Colorado. I am really am glad to hear that Stacey is doing so well, I love it when you talk about them. Did she say if she has sent me a letter? Because she totally owes me one. I am loving it so much here the lord is definetly blessing me! I sent letters home so you should get them in a few days. I will be getting the package today so there are no problems. . We already have three dinner appts for christmas so that is amazing. We had an 62 people in church on Sunday that was a record for Tortola, the work is growing so much here and like you said I am so glad to be a part of it. Well i cant believe that we are already in the 4th week of the transfer its crazy I am getting scared of getting transferred because I totally don't want that to happen, our transfers are on the 23rd so P-day is monday the 22nd just so you know. It is crazy to think at how fast time is going. Well Sonette will not be baptized this Sunday she is the sister of Rose and Esther. Manuel is not related to them. Rose and Esther are from Haiti and are way cool. Well I was wondering how the christmas season is going for you guys? I imagine that it has to be a little weird with most all of us gone, its not the greatest for us either but just think that I will be there next christmas so no worries. I am glad that my car might be getting into the shop. Well we are working really hard we are seeing so much success in theBranch, we also had another family of 5 out to church this past week. We also had 22 people in the Spanish group which is just a miracle in itself. I love you all! Love, Logan

No Thanksgiving celebration in Tortola

Mom and Dad and the rest of the world.

I hope things are going well back home. I really did enjoy the baptism I am going to send the memory card home next week with the package that I am sending for Christmas, there is stuff in there for the whole family along with the memory card. I know that you will enjoy those pictures because there are tons of them, I think at least like three hundred. Rose's baptsim was so good the spirit was strong and I almost got to go swimming, funny story I will definitely write that in the letter home! Thanksgiving was not much because they do not celebrate it so that is kind of lame. We have like two dinner appointments for Christmas so that is awesome. I have not gotten the package ,you might want to track and see where it is if you can. I am getting a little anxious because you did sent it like 2 weeks ago if not more? The slip hasn't even came in yet. Things are doing really well here, Manuel has not been baptized we are going to give him a little more time because he needs it but he is coming to church every Sunday, so that is great that his testimony is growing. Sonnette who is Roses's sister and Esther's sister has a date for the 14th of december so that is pretty cool . Things are picking up here, we are working with alot of less actives right now we had a total of 11 at church this last week so that was definately a blessing. President said that if you can activate a less active that is equivalent to baptizing a person so that makes me feel really well! We only have a total of 63 members on the island of Tortola and so for us to have 54 in church is close to a miracle! This comes from the Lord,he sure has his hand in the work and it is absoluetly awesome to be part of it. We are really working for a building out here we have to have an average of like 50 people in church for like 3 to 6 months and so we are on the track! It has picked up in the last month and so we are working for that every single day that we are out here. Well I love you so much the lord has blessed you and me and will continue as long as we are doing what we need to be doing. Well in the christams package can I get some more garments? A few weeks ago someone left a pen in my washer and so alot of my whites were blue and I had to throw away some. Hope all is well and the time is passing by so fast, only seven and a half more to go. I love and miss you! love you logan
