Last letter of 2008

Hi Mom and Dad!
My week was really good to tell the truth we are just trying to get thru this month because it is definately a hard one with everyone being on work permits it is all about working for everyone here and with it being the big cruise period everyone is just working 24/7. It is kinda of lame but I have no doubt that it will pick up in the new year that means 2009! Oh and that also means I come home during that year pretty exciting, I am thrilled to tell the truth! So things are a little slow here, there are alot of people on vacation so that has slowed us down. Okay so you sent me my package I am super excited because I have not gotten much lately. I really need to send you a letter sorry that they have slowed down a little but to tell the truth I have not wrote much lately.Yes my companion is also staying. It is still a little weird to me to think that Granpa is gone, there is nothing really that sticks to me that says he is gone, you know its just weird. Its all good though, I have felt the saviors love and know that he is in a happier and better place with alot more people that love him. Wow so Lorin and Justin are pregnant? I figured that it was coming. Why did they wait so long to tell anybody? I am so glad that Morgan is keeping his head up on wanting to go on a mission seriously he wont regret it. So pretty much jealous that you are going to a steak dinner for New Years. We are definately not doing anything like that we get P-Day and have to be in by six so we get the whole day off pretty cool. Oh and yeah so I am totally jealous that you get to go on a cruise because I see them everyday and never get to get on one. Ha, I hope that you have so much fun! I am doing great and loving it here so much I have five more weeks in this transfer and so time is flying by so fast! I love you all so much and am so happy that all is going well! I love you! Logan

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

Branch in Tortola, so glad it is growing!

Aww, Logan always has loved the little ones, his neice and nephews call him Uncle LoLo

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

Only 8 more months!

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
