Hello....
How are you? I hope things are going well. You asked if I had any birthday plans,well they celebrated mine to on Sunday in the ward because there were like three of us and then a member thru us a little party it was really cool to say the least I loved it. I love this ward a bunch, the members are really cool I am enjoying every minute that I have here, next week is transfers allready. I am enjoying my companion to the fullest probably my favorite for sure we get along great have so much fun together. Life is great serisously I love it so much, I can't believe that it is already June and next month I come home pretty cool for sure I am way excited. Things are great I am loving the work,I can't believe at how fast it passes by. I love and miss you guys a ton ! I hope you have a great week, remember that Tuesday is P-Day just so you know. Oh, here is a story for you, the other day we were walking and we were by the beach and there is a bridge and well the puerto ricans are always jumping off of it well, we walked by them and they hit Elder Francis on the head and then jumped into the water and then the others threw some beer at us it was funny, I really wanted to fight them but if there is anything you learn on your mission that is to turn the other cheek haha .Well yeah it happens not to often because people have respect for us, but the young ones are a bit lost.. To say the least! Have a great week!
Love, Logan

Hello Mom and Dad!
How are you doing? Well things are going really well! I am kinda jealous that you were in New York...I am really thinking that I would love to go there for New Years eve this year. I am really going to try and work with that because I really want to go and it has been a dream of mine to watch the ball drop and so we shall see its been a plan of mine for probably about 5 years. Some other thoughts that have been coming to my mind because I really want to go and experience the world. But we shall see it is all thoughts up in the air right now. Who really knows what I will be feeling when I get home so we shall see? Things are going really well, at this point Yudelka is now moving to the states and so it is out of our hands. We have a new lady that we are working with her name is Martina she is cool, and so we are really excited to work with her for sure! There has not been nothing to interesting the past week but lots of transvesdites that want to take us to school and its kind of scary but we just laugh.There are lots of bums and many great things that we don't see every day in Arizona. There are lots of cockroaches in our apartment that has been a good one to try to get used too. Oh and yes I would like to take Elder Francis out for my birthday because he is taking me out because his parents sent him $50 to go out to eat and stuff and so I would like to do the same next week. So its crazy my first birthday in the mission hahha.... (Logan was home for knee surgery last year on his birthday) Life sure is great I am loving it here but still I cannot wait to see you guys! I hope that all goes fantastic this coming week! Lots of love, Logan

Hello Mom and Dad!
How are you? It was nice talking to you on Mother's Day! Not much new since then. Oh yeah I was pretending to call you and then he picked up the phone and called you, it was really funny he is cool he is from Argentina a really cool guy, he is my DL. I am in a district with 2 Elders that have six months left and another that has 2 months left so that is a it weird, but cool. I just try to share as much knowledge as I can so that they can be better missionaries. I can't believe that time is flying by. I am loving my mission at this point and I am a little sad that it took so long to really love it, but you can't ever take back the past, you can only look into the future and make it better, something that I have learned. It is just weird to think that I will really be home because it is just not a reality to me as of yet, but its all good though. I am just trying to make the best of all of the situations that I might be faced with. I love it here and I really hope and wish you have the greatest week ever too. I love you!

Hello Family!
Wow, time is flying by so fast here for sure! I cannot believe that you have gotten my intinerary allready? I bet time is slower for parents than it is for us in the mission field. I still cannot believe that I was home like 9 months ago, and yes I agree it kind of seems like a dream. I am going to answer your questions today. I wasn't the one that gave Johnny Depp the pass along card, it was a group effort. The mission BBQ was pretty rad, there wasn't alot of our group that came out together, as alot of them are on the islands, so that was a bit of a bummer. But we are all looking forward to being together the night before we go home in July. I don't think it will seem real that I am going home until I am at home. Elder Ancieta hasn't said that he feels any different and I don't really feel any difference yet, I am just working hard. I just sent my memory card home and some letters for you and Dad. We don't have any investigators right now, we are just focusing on members because Elder Ancieta is leaving and we are just enjoying their company. We do have a prospect his name is Efrain, he is way rad we are working with him to come to church. Transfers are next week, I am hoping to stay in this area, with Elder Ancieta leaving it sure seems like it is possible. I am thinking I will be a DL, and hoping to finish my mission in this area. I would for sure love it. We have been having FHE with the older single people that don't have families and been having about 15 people coming every week, so that is way cool. I actually got a watch from a member the other day, she is going out of town and wanted me to give me a going away present incase I got transfered. So sweet, huh? I am really loving this ward, and working with them. Our P-Day will be Tuesday, I imagine I will be running around because my companion will be new and I have no idea what will really be happening. It has gotten hot here too, or it could be because the van broke down and we are walking everywhere? I have really stepped up my diet... I am hoping to really lose some weight before I step off the plane.... Oh, could you send me a memory card? I don't want to miss any memories. I love and miss you so much. Thanks for everything.
Love, Logan

I gave Johnny Depp a pass along card.....
Johhny Depp is filming the movie "The Rum Diary"that is due to hit theatres in 2010. The filming is taking place in Old San Juan, and Logan was there on P-Day, and had a goal of seeing Johnny Depp, and giving him a pass along card. Mission accomplished! (Logan said he would send a picture home, with the pass along card in Johnny's hand....) He handed it to him, thru his car window. Way to preach the gospel Elder Wells!

Hello Family!
We are going to old San Juan today, so I really don't have much time to email so its going to be short. Things are going well here, we are always working really hard. Cidmarie's baptism went really well. Her boyfriend is a member. Well I am super excited I really can't believe that it is already general conference and my last one in the mission. Oh and there is only one more phone call. I love Ancieta we get along really well, he is done at the end of this transfer so that is super crazy a little bit upsetting but it is all good. I really love the guys in my district, they are doing well we are all just learning from each other. I am just trying to help them do the things that I had not done in the beginning of my mision and it is working well . I love the work! I am super excited we have our big BBQ for the mission next week and that is going to be cool, I cannot believe its already been a year since all of that happened. So crazy! So how is my car coming along? I would like to see a picture of how it is looking. Well I was wondering if you can make sure that my interior is finished also before I get home? That would be way rad! I love and miss you so much!

keeping on top of the game Spanish all the way!
Hi Mom and Dad!
Yes, it sure is really great to be here! I am in Truillo Alto the same place that I was in a year ago, meaning the same district and same ward, just a different area. Its great to be here I love it the experiences are really good, seriously I can't believe at how fast the time is passing by! The Lord is seriously helping me out so much! Things are great I love it, so my companion does not speak english and so yes it is spanish all of the time. I don't mind, it really keeps me on the top of my game! This past week has been really good I am finding lots of new people and cannot believe how things work out, the Lord is always there for us! We have had to take President to the airport a few times so that was way cool to get to know him a little bit more. It has been really cool finding out what he was like before the mission and what he did for fun. I just love it here, I don't really have much to say, Oh the other day we were doing service and we were cleaning and chopping down all the weeds that have taken over this Sister's house and so we lifted this board up and underneath was a crab, a huge spider, a ginormous centipede and a bunch of coqui frogs prettty cool! We are really just trying to get the members here to trust us a little more. So things are really starting to look up. Well I love you and miss you so much! Peace, Logan

Getting settled in Puerto Rico
Thursday, February 19th, 2009
Hi Mom and Dad,
Well I have only been here for a couple of weeks so not much has happened. The only thing that we have done is gone and take President to the airport and move a couple of apartments. We are keeping busy and the work is going forward. I don't have any Elders in my District with the same time as me in the mission, just a bunch of newbies that have like 3 to 8 months in the mission so that is cool. I have had to really step up my game and be a good example so that is what is going on, pretty sweet though. well yeah I love it. Yesterday I got to have our zone conferrence and got to see alot of the other buddys from the misison so that was way cool. I am not in Randy and Lillian's (they are our cousins that live in Puerto Rico) area they are actually in Elder Polanco's area. I loved seeing him yesterday he is going ot move to the states with his Mom so that is way exciting Ilove that guy and so I will definately have to keep in touch with him. I love it right now things are really working out. I can't believe how fast time is flying bye it never slows down and only gets faster. Elder Ancieta is from Boliva and is way cool he actually just extended his mission so he is going to be here for just a little bit longer so that is way cool. I am loving every minute left of the mission, its going fast and I can't believe it. I love and miss you guys so much. I hope you have a great week! Love, Logan

Lots of work to do here!
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009
Hi Mom and Dad!
I am loving it here! Some of my duties as DL is I have to plan the normal district meeting and have to do call ins to the other missionaries in the district every night so that means lots of talking on the phone and no going to bed before 9:30 pm I guess it is not to bad. I really don't mind to tell the truth. I do miss being a normal missionary. I am working hard for sure! Oh and Sherman did get the shirt. If you want just send stuff to the office for now we usually go there at least once a week so not really that big of deal. Things are going great we set a baptsimal date this week with a young lady named Natalia, she is 12 years old. The less active work is really where it is at we have only like a 16 percent activity rate here and so that means that out of all of the families there are tons that are part member families so that is what I am really going to start focusing on, there are over like 300 inactives in our area alone not including all of the other areas. It is gonna get really busy these next transfers because our mission is getting reduced and so that is gonna be the hard part. So lots of moving is gonna start taking place.The driving is easy enough the first day was a little rough but there is so much traffic here and no time to really mess up becasue you just go with the flow. Oh and another duty is that I will have to do the baptismal interviews for the people that get baptized so that is cool, kind of scary but I am way willing to do it, it is just the whole spanish thing I really hope that I can get it all down, I know with the help of my heavenly father there will be no worries. Elder ****** is a good missionary a little bit crazy he has lots of pride and definately has a latin attitude, its cool though he goes home in April so no biggy. That is so cool to hear how good everyone is doing in the ward pretty sweet that Chase will get to see Jordan awesome. I miss Tristan so much and can't really believe how fast time is flying, seriously it will be here before we know it, and I will be on my flight . I do not have much time so its work work work and more work for me, its really great to be part of the work and I love it! It is going good here, I hope that next transfer they move me back down to normal missionary I don't like being a leader, ha ha. All is well! I love you and wish the best for your week! Love always, Logan

Going back to Puerto Rico....
Here are some pictures that Logan sent of Tortola, looks like paradise to me. I can see why he loves the little island so much.
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009
Yep I am going back to Puerto Rico, and it is totally rad! This week has been one of the greatest of my whole mission! Let me tell you about transfers, first well I am going back to Puerto Rico, I am going to be a District Leader in the Trullio Alto district and I am going to be the moving Elder, ha ha well so that is not all that is interesting. My companions name is Elder Ancieta he is really cool he will finish his mission I think at the end of next transfer so that should be interesting. So as you know Latins cannot drive in Puerto Rico and so that means that I am going back and driving and I have to basically know the whole entire island which is crazy. I will be the one running President to the airport and picking and moving things all over the island. So I am back driving in Puerto Rico and that means the other side of the road. It is going to be pretty weird adjusting again, after driving British style for almost 6 months. The cool thing is that Rio Piedras is in my district and so I will be able to see all of the converts I have so that is way awesome I am so excited. I am a bit bummed because I am leaving,but that is where the Lord wants me to go. My plane will leave at like 12:30 tomorrow, so yep back to Puerto Rico I go. Well my last week here we saw so much success, I really decided to change myself a little bit because it was definately time, so President wants us extending baptismal dates on the first lesson, so me and Elder Evans took that challenge and seen the fruits that the Lord wants it was way cool! In three days we set 9 dates and so that was way cool. I really just began to change my attitude and the Lord did the rest. I just began to put it upon the lord and say let me be an instrument in your hands and so that is how it all began. I really have been praying non stop in sincere fashion. I looked at all of the book of mormon missionaries and the reason why they were so succesful was because of the attitudes that they had. I am super excited and bummed at the same time, that I am leaving but at the same time stoked because I really don't mind a little change every once in a while. I have literally felt the saviors love in me and also the love that he has for his children here on this island. I know that he trusted me to really do his work and it boggles my mind, but I am trying to remember that the lords will is to build his kingdom upon the earth and it will grow! The missionaries have to change there minds a little and work towards that goal. Well I love you so much and have a great week! Love you! Always, Logan

I am super excited and bummed at the same time, that I am leaving but at the same time stoked because I really don't mind a little change every once in a while. I have literally felt the saviors love in me and also the love that he has for his children here on this island. I know that he trusted me to really do his work and it boggles my mind, but I am trying to remember that the lords will is to build his kingdom upon the earth and it will grow! The missionaries have to change there minds a little and work towards that goal. Well I love you so much and have a great week! Love you! Always, Logan

Hello Mom and Dad!
Well transfers are next week again which in it self are pretty crazy, meaning that its only four more you have no idea at how much that is really begining to scare me I can promise you that the whole trunkiness has been settled and that I am totally over it! We had a really good conference last Thursday there was a lot of things that I was not doing, they were things I could change so that I could be better and recieve more blessing. The Conference was just on things that we do as missionaires that are called paradigms they are the things that we do that we just do because we don't really know why, just because we were taught that way and so for me I am definitely trying to get out of that one.They really hit a lot of good points and its definately time to pick it up so that is what we are doing. President talked to me and he said that I can do it and he really haelped me I am really realizing those things that I really want for the mission, I have found such a great desire to work and really push forward and do the right things. It has been great we have found some really cool investigators that are way sweet, well the Francis's are back they were the senior couple before the Solomons, and they have been giving us reference after reference with people that they workedwith. Believe me its really starting to pay off so that is cool we have picked up quite a few. Another coool thing this last week was a caribbean conference that was being broadcasted from Jamaica and so we were able to see President Eyering and Elder Bednar and they spoke to us from there it was way awesome. They said so many things that these people really needed to hear. It is really going good, I love the area, I think i might get transferred but I am really hoping not, truthfuly! Well I love and miss you too, it won't be too long. Peace, Logan

Hello!
Things are going great here! We are just working alot with less actives and feel that we are definately getting somewhere. I did recieve the cruise stuff on like the 16th some things are fast and other things are real slow. I still have not recieved the shirt for Sherman and I am thinking that it might have gotten stolen, hopefully not, well that is not good. We are working really hard with ***** and he is coming around really fast! I have started a cook book and it has all the cool things in it, its a book I bought here in Tortola. Yes, the senior couple always goes with us to St. Thomas, they are way cool! We go this Friday to St. Thomas, we don't really have much time to see the island because we go to the conference and then catch the 4:00 ferry and so the time goes by too fast. Oh, the whitestrips have worked miracles to say the least I am loving my new smile. Well S**** and M**** are also coming around we are really trying to get them baptized! We are supposed to hear from J***** today to really see if he is ready to get baptized. We are hoping, he should be home. The senior couple before the Solomons are on the island and so we are going to dig them for people that they might have worked with so that we can get some referals and so that should be cool. I love you so much and I can't believe that we are already this far into the transfer again. Eder Osterloh is going home in a couple of weeks, I think that he is getting excited I can only imnagine how is Mother is feeling. Only four more transfers for me. That is pretty crazy. As far as school I am excited just make sure that I get a good schedule and don't sign me up for any classes that I wouldn't want. I love the mission and the people! Well peace!

It's almost the 18th.....6 months left.....
Hello!
I am doing really well! I hope that you got the newspaper that I sent home if not,you should get it soon, it is called the Island Sun. I did recieve the package, thank you so much! I loved everything, I wrote you a letter and sent it yesterday. I think who knows well I sent my love and appreciation for the whole thing. I am doing fine with packages and letters so it is all good. I think they will probably close Virgin Gorda and missionaries will just go over like two days a week, that was how it used to be, but only the Lord knows at this point. Transfers are the 4th of February. Are you thinking that you would like to come and pick me up? I really would like to just come back later because then I can go to the beaches and do more visiting the islands and stuff. If you came to pick me up we would be so limited on what we can do. Our less actives are doing really well we are back up to the fifites in attendance. Driving is fine its not a problem at all it was never that uncomfortable its actually pretty fun, its gonna be weird switching back to driving normal. Our next trip to St. Thomas is next Friday, which is cool I guess.
Johnny is now in Santo Domingo trying to get his papers from his divorce so that he can marry the woman that he is now with, and so that is the news on that one. Manuel is back and we are really trying to work hard with him and bring him back up to speed he is doing great he is just scared to make that step of baptism, but I know when he does he is going to be really strong. I am so glad that you enjoyed your cruise. It was weird to think that you were on one we see them every day now, It is nice when we get to see the occasional member which is awesome. I am glad you got to see the missionaries when you were on Catalina Island. Well my week has been absolutely amazing we are really doing good! We are learning how to cook, the members are each teaching us how to make something different, I have learned macaroni pie, curry, johnny cakes, and chowmein,I am definately gonna have to cook for you all when I get home my recipe book is looking really good. We are working really hard, I love you so much! I wish you the best week ever! Oh look at the date what is on the 18th? Wait....stop being trunky, haha well I will try! Love You..... Logan
