Hi Family!
Yes, it was definitely a bit weird that President Guldbrandsen showed up in the Ward on Sunday. I was definitely a little shocked but it was pretty cool so awesome to just see a recoginazable face! (Pres. Guldbrandsen, was the one that set Logan apart as a missionary in July 2007, he just happened to be on a cruise, and randomly picked a Ward to attend, and it happened to be the Ward Logan was attending. Our Stake has since divided.)really just strange, so cool though! Oh yes, I did recieve the letter and photos of Dad. Tell him to shave his mustache too!!!!!!! That would be so rad! Things are going really well here I am staying with Elder Ancieta that means that I get to kill him! I am excited about that for sure, we have had some great times and get along very good! We have had to do a bunch of airport stuff, we got to go to a meeting that President told us everyhting pretty awesome I sure enjoyed that, its really cool to just experience what goes on inside the closed doors. Truillo Alto is closing down so that means that the two of the Elders are leaving and my district will only be four, which I really don't mind we have to do call in every day and so that means one less to call. So we have to move and clean our apartment we will be going to the other apartment of the other Elders. They are going to shut ours down so that means lots of cleaning and so fun fun, not really... Oh, Elder Stevens came back from Barbados, he is back and we picked him up from the airport this morning and so that means that he will be with us all day so that should be interesting to say the least. We are doing really well we are going to be picking up some of the investigators of the other missionaries and so we shall see where that goes? Things are going really well I am loving the work here and definitely hoping to die in this area. Can you believe the date again tomorow its twenty months, where is the time going? It is nearly time to have general conference again seriously how crazy! Oh yeah then its May and we call home again and that means the last call and the last general conference... That is way sweet! I am super excited that Colten is gonna hit a year that is super exciting for him! I am loving every minute of this work! I hope that you have a great week!
Love always, Logan

Time is flying by so fast
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009
Hi Mom and Dad!
Well yeah things are really great here! Oh and yeah P-Day is next Tuesday, due to transfers. We did have our baptisms last Sunday it was way awesome. We completed a family by all of them being members, so that was way sweet! So I was super excited about that, they are going to be confirmed this Sunday. No, we don't get to confirm people that often at least not here where people can do it, so that is where that stands. I am loving it here in Trullio Alto, I am doing well here and there are so many blesisings that we are seeing. Wow, time is flying by so fast I truly can't belive that it is already P-Day again. We are really working with lots of people right now we are working with a husband of another member so that is really cool his name is Efrain and so we are going to give him a date for the 29th of March for baptism this week. So I am really hoping to kill (a term when you are with a companion that is going home)Ancieta he is on his last transfer. So that is really sweet. President Dewsnup is really cool and its definately been neat getting to know him a little better. I am sorry that you had to do jury duty, and sad that you didn't get to go to Sedona with Cyndi, but what can you do? Be sure and tell me what the case was about if you can. Well I love you and can't wait to hear from you again. Have a great week ! Love Always, Logan

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

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!

Well things are doing well here. I will go through and answer all of the questions that you have well to begin I am doing really well, Its okay that you are getting old because that means I am to ha-ha. I have not gotten the package with the iPod charger yet but that is okay no big deal. I will get it today I believe because I have received the slip so it will be here today or tomorrow’s mail. I am getting letters from home now thank goodness, I was felling a little neglected ha-ha no its all good no worries. Thank you so much for the French stuff I am so excited because I really want to learn this language. The branch president’s wife speaks French so I will have to practice with her. I absolutely loved General Conference, Saturday morning and afternoon were my favorite, I laughed when President Monson talked about the empty house situation and I felt how you must feel honestly, I love conference though I basically got to watch everything except priesthood which is unfortunate because I always love priesthood session. (I am at the library and there is a bearded lady next to me its really kind of weird.) So you are going to the dentist? It will be nice to finally have all your dental work done! I really can’t believe that Halloween is already here that means then Thanksgiving and then Christmas then I can call home and that will be way awesome! That is sad to hear about Grandpa’s horse Daisy. How old was she? How often was he really riding her? So Eddie (the guinea pig) is also dead that is just way sad but that means no more pigs for you, thank goodness I am sorry I have never been to fond of those things.
Well as for a spiritual story I really don’t know what to say to tell the truth because I have not really had one lately but I have felt the saviors love for me because I have had a tuff week but the Lord always knows our problems and our weaknesses and it comforts me to know that I have a Savior that knows me and cares for me and listens to my prayers. Sometimes it gets kind of lonely out here and well you begin to wander why about a lot of things but you have to put trust in the Lord so that he can help you and well he has, its just amazing. I love it the gospel, it is so true! Dave is not progressing like I would like but we continue praying for him and he will come along. My driving skills are absolutely amazing and its been fun the instincts are beginning to switch if that is a good or bad thing I am not really sure but its all good. I will get you a picture of me and Elder Dixon very soon okay, I have to take one first .Well things are going really well I am so excited to be here. I love and miss you guys so much! I know the lord wants me here and that I have no doubt about that. I have little over nine months left and well that is nothing compared to the eternity.
Love always, Logan

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!

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 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 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

Hi Mom and Dad!
My experience this past week has been
absolutely amazing I love it here so much its awesome my favorite part is that I can wake up ever morning and look outside and see mountains on the left and right and then a straight look at the beach which is cool, I am literally serving in paradise! You asked if St. Thomas was in my zone and it is. It is right next to us, its about a 45 minute boat ride to get there that is where the Zone Leaders are so once every transfer we get to take a boat over there have a conference there, so that is going to be awesome! We do have a couple missionaries on our island there names are the Solomon’s and they are from Snowflake,AZ they are super sweet they help us out a lot! There are us and the senior couple on this island. We have two Elders that are on Virgin Gorda that come over once a week for district meetings, that are in our district so that is cool. I love the people here, they talk to you as everything is a story and they are hilarious and so awesome. You asked if I use my Spanish well happens that there are lots of Dominicans that come here for work so we have a Spanish group here. Which is way cool so I gave a talk in Spanish last week for the Sacrament meeting, they meet in the night for an hour. My companion is on his fifth transfer here so he is getting a little bit lazy but its all good because he is cool and he has had lots of success. I am hoping that he gets out of here next transfer just because its getting hard for him to work.I feel as if I am in a totally different mission. I sent home a letter but it takes like two weeks I forgot that you guys were moving, so it will probably take longer. We have two baptismal dates that we gave this week one to a lady her name is Diana she is super cool she is Indian but is way awesome she cooks Indian food for us every time we go ever so that has been cool getting some different types of food. Then there is Manuel who speaks Spanish so its been cool teaching in Spanish because my companion does not know Spanish very well so I have been doing a lot of that work. Will you call Lillian to tell her that I got sent to an island and I am sorry that I didn’t have the chance to say good bye, everything happened so fast she knew that I was leaving but I didn’t even know I was going to an island until like the night before.The Branch here is so awesome there was like a record high of like 42 people in church, the church is a rented space at the top of a three story building so that is cool. I love it here and tell everyone that I love
them! Love, Logan

Hi Mom and Dad.
Your so lucky that I love you and am writing you. Ha-ha its all good you probably forgot that today is P-Day for me , you can write me double next week. We got transfer information my companion and I are both leaving he is going to be a Zone Leader and I am going to the island of Tortola so that is the exciting news of the week. I am super excited I get to teach the gospel in English so that is way cool. I got your package Thank you so much! Tortola has a truck so I will be in a truck and then my new companion is going to be Elder Dixon he is from Texas I have never met him so we shall see, its all good no matter how he is I have the opportunity to go to an island which I was never expecting. I have to pack a 50 pound bag that is all I can take with me so that is going to be tuff. I m super excited I never thought that I would go. Tortola is suppose to be one of the prettiest islands its next to St. Thomas. I will probably go there when we have conferences. I am excited to see St. Thomas too. Things are awesome I have had an great week we had two investigators in church Monique who has a desire to change her life, she has been on and off the streets since she was a teenager and has a desire to change and loved church. We were going to give her a baptismal date on Wednesday so we are going to try and stop by and do it tonight. I had the opportunity to talk to Randy and Lillian they don’t really understand what I am doing we tried to explain but I don’t think they understand. We were going to do service for them yesterday but the other Elder Perez is sick so we had to take him to the doctor so its all good. I am bummed that we are both leaving because its always harder to get the other missionaries to work with your investigators because they did not find them so they don’t work as hard with them, but we talked to the assistants so they will make sure they are working with them. Its going to be crazy to be gone from Puerto Rico everyone says that it is a totally different mission,I probably won’t write as much while am in Tortola I will see how everything works out there. Well I love you so much and send my love to all! Who won so you think you can dance?
Love, Logan

Hi Mom and Dad,
Well its awesome to hear that you had such a good time in Michigan. I bet that was great to see all of your family considering it doesn’t happen that often. Thanks for sending me a package I really appreciate it. My knee is okay since I am in my car but it doesn’t hurt that often because of the car but I guarantee that if I am in a car for a few months I will be fine that I know. Life is crazy I am grateful for the opportunity that I have to serve and its only 11 more months. I have been back for more that three weeks that is so crazy. Yesterday we had the opportunity to hear from President Johnson he is head of the Caribbean now, since President Mask got sick. Pres. Mask is now in Utah working on preach my gospel. It was so awesome to hear from him yesterday he is such an inspiration, he talked to us on how we are doing right, but we are not relying on the spirit and its so easy to loose it. We definitely have to be more conscious it was so awesome because President was so nervous. It is awesome to know that he knows that he has authority and it just shows how humble President really is. Next week is transfers one of the assistants is going home so I get to see him leave its cool he is one of my favorite missionaries, its awesome. I really don’t want to leave this area but it’s bound to happen, so if it does it is no big deal to me. I have had so many cool experiences since I have been back! Yesterday we had the opportunity to give three blessings it was super cool. I will write those in a letter its been a great learning week. Time is going to pass so fast I have to make worth of what I have because I don’t want to leave knowing that I didn’t do all that I could. I love you guys so much! Oh, and have fun packing!

I am so glad to be here it has been awesome to come back to say the least. I am back here in Puerto Rico I got put into an area called Guaynabo with another Latin companion, who is awesome and I love very much. Believe it or not he is more random than me which is hard to believe because that just doesnt happen very often. I am super excited because I got put into the area of my second cousins who are non members, so you never know what can happen. Hopefully the best. Man things are so crazy I am grateful for this opportunity that I have to serve and be in the work again! I know that this is where the Lord wants me to be and I wouldn't have it anyother way.. I had a had an amazing experience this week. I went on trade offs with the a ZL, Elder Howell from Kansas. We had been working hard all day long, we were at the point to either take a break to eat because we were waiting for a member. We just kept going and talk to people. Elder Howell decieded we would contact a old investigator who was almost baptized, but took another route, and it never happened. We stoped by and she shared with us on how her nephew had just passed away, so we all shared stories. I shared a story about my Grandma, because I did not know her too well, but I know that I will someday, because this is possible thru the plan of salvation, that God created for us. It was way cool, the spirit was so strong. We talked and talked, I asked her how she felt when she read the B.O.M., and she said that it was a very special feeling, one that she could not explain very well. We told her that, that is the spirit testifying of the truthfullness of it all. We extended a baptismal invite, and she accepted, so we gave her a date. She was so happy, and you could really tell. It just shows that the Lord knows what is going on, and that everything is possible, you just never know what the Lord has in store for you and that his hand is in this work, and it is true! I know that all is going to be well and the Lord will bless me for this descion that I have made! Well I love you all! Love, Logan

Hello!
Well my arrival in Puerto Rico was way good. I arrived on time at like 8:30 pm and had my bags and everything and President Dewsnup and his wife were waiting for me outside because they could not come in where the baggage claim is I guess I am feeling like a missionary now don’t have much choice. My plane ride from Georgia was a good one it happened to be that a Mormon family from the metro ward was sitting right next to me. It was pretty funny they had four kids and he was there for the FBI. I slept in my apartment last night I am in Guaynabo, which is our cousins area. How crazy is that? I got dropped off at my house right after I got off the plane, President just talked to me in the car and was super cool. Well yeah so my companion is Elder Perez {the other Elder Perez it is not my same companion from before} He is way cool and hard working. He is from Puerto Rico, so I am in the house of the AP’s so that is way cool. No big deal its fun there, awesome. Well love you so much. I have to go they are rushing me out of here! Well I love you guys so much! Have fun.
Peace, Logan
Just send the package to the office because the assistants are always there.

Hola Madres con Padres,
Life here in Aguas Buenas Puerto Rico is kind of boring. Not much happens here unfortunately. We have had the opportunity to go the doctor twice this week, so we got to go to Bayamon.
We had a family of some less actives come to church this past week it was so awesome we had a family home evening with them it was super special, the spirit was so strong the Father had not been to church in years and he came this past Sunday it was so awesome. I love helping out the families, I heard about the two new temples being built one in Gilbert and the other in Gila Valley. I hope that they are not done before I get home. I never imagined four temples in the state, but that is so awesome! What a blessing to the state of Az. The big news is that Quentin L.Cook from the Quorum of the Twelve is going to come visit us on the 13th of June that is so awesome I am so excited. I hope that he will announce a Temple if he can do that I don’t know or maybe he is going to organize another Stake here. Hopefully they will announce some kind of news, we are all waiting anxiously. On Mother’s Day I will be calling home, I am so excited! I am going to call from the church we can have as much time as we want. Hopefully I can talk to Colten too somehow. Oh, I need a couple of things butterscotch morsels because you can not find them here even at Wal-Mart. We had zone conference this past week and it was so awesome President Dewsnup talked about faith. I talked about it on the tape so I you will hear all about it. I am going to send you a new tape front and back. Some is for everyone, the girls at the shop all of them. Nothing that exciting has happened here I am out of minutes on my calling card so I will just buy a new one today, no worries!
PS If you could find my von zipper sunglasses that would be awesome they should be in my car or in the house or in your car I bet your wearing them this day! Well I love you your awesome Love your son, Logan
Hola Madres con Padres,
Life here in Aguas Buenas Puerto Rico is kind of boring. Not much happens here unfortunately. We have had the opportunity to go the doctor twice this week, so we got to go to Bayamon.
We had a family of some less actives come to church this past week it was so awesome we had a family home evening with them it was super special, the spirit was so strong the Father had not been to church in years and he came this past Sunday it was so awesome. I love helping out the families, I heard about the two new temples being built one in Gilbert and the other in Gila Valley. I hope that they are not done before I get home. I never imagined four temples in the state, but that is so awesome! What a blessing to the state of Az.

Hola Momma & Papi,
The thing with the ties is that yeah I have a ton but the ones that I don’t like I share with the world, I cant wear the skinny ones I am way to fat and well you know I am a sharing guy, I have to have the best ties in the mission and well there are people that have better than me, ha-ha no but I love everything that you send me you don’t have to send me any if you don’t want to, yeah so you wanted to know all about my area it is incredibly pretty and yes poor but hey its not that bad the average probably include all the people that don’t work and trust me there are many, I will write on the backs of them next time, I like keeping my memory cards until they are full because I always send them home and well don’t get some of the pictures that I want so well you can just be patient. Hah jk.That bus picture is in Rio Piedras train by the way, you could send me some contacts I got my glasses adjusted yesterday. Yeah .we didn’t have investigators in church we had some less active members that have not been in awhile. my new apt is pretty awesome it does not have ac but its in the mountains so it is plenty cool in the night time, I really like it its spacious and has couches that is some luxuries that are not usually found in our houses, but its all good, so far my favorite apartment was the one in Caguas, by the way Caguas is right down from us we are the mountains of Caguas. that is so awesome that you heard from Pepe I knew that she was staying in Samoa but tell her that I love her and hope all is well, tell her when I go on my honeymoon maybe we will come to Samoa. I plan on being married the same week Colten gets home. If I send you a letter home for her will you make sure that it gets to her? That is to bad bout Granpa we shall see if he is still alive when I get home. I hope so because it’s sad but I don’t even know him. All is well I wrote you a letter and it’s in the mail today so you will get it soon. Well my comp is from the Dominican Republic again and he came out at the same time as me and his name is Elder Perez he is pretty cool he says that he is not hurting anymore so I really think that he was just faking so that he didn’t have to ride a bike anymore he woke up this morning and said that he is not hurting. It’s all good though life is crazy and well has a good week, so my emails are so longer than Colten I win. Ha-ha peace Logan

Hi Madre and Papi!
Papi don’t worry about us boys being gone, it will be super fast because look I have 9 months out and it feels as though I left yesterday. Well the thing is that I am getting transferred so crazy I was not expecting it at all. This past week we have been looking for an apartment because there are going to be more Elders coming to Caguas so we are going to have 4 because it is a huge pueblo. I am super excited. because there is so much area to cover that it needs to have more, there used to be six here, its the fact that so many people are leaving and President is not receiving any new missionaries they are being forced to shut areas down so, its difficult but there needs to be more Missionaries here so I think that the Lord knows that there has to be more. Well it’s so crazy. I cant believe it well the thing is that they told me that I am leaving but I think that it is just the other side of Caguas at least I hope so because I have moved so much I will be in my fourth area, I definitely need more time in Caguas, well you can tell Dad that I found a guy that we can go fishing with he is super cool, they are probably in there late thirties well he asked if we wanted to go fishing but we can’t so I said when I come back after my mission we will definitely have to go. He said that he would take us and the wife would hang out with you, they speak English their names are Sunni and Carlos there so awesome they made us dinner last night and she asked me what I wanted and of course I said that I wanted Mexican food so she made us tacos, how cool is that? She is super awesome! Elder G**** is staying here in this area so we will not be companions anymore thank goodness I sent you a letter last week or a couple of days ago I don’t even know anymore you really just forget the days of the week and they all seem to blend together. The letter from Miss Kimzey was great and yes I understood every word I will get her a letter in the mail this week. Things are definitely crazy. Tell my brother that I love him and that he is my heroe. I got the ties that was exactly perfect I love them. Tell Daniel Thank you so much, I am so excited though the work is good we are working really hard I will get you a picture and a tape you can hear my crazy comp! Well I love you so much and hope that your week is awesome!
Peace ! Con Amor, Logan

Letter 4/9/2008
Hello there Mother and Papi!
Elder G**** is from Aguadilla but he was born and raised in New York until he was 16 so he knows so much more English than Spanish, and he doesn’t talk like a Puerto Rican so he is American to me. I did not baptize Natalia her Uncle did but it was still super cool she is 12. I need Dale and Michelle’s address. Maybe her email so I could email her? That is good that Dad is spending time with Granpa The family did not watch the movie with us but they did come to a church activity that was held the night before on Friday, there car broke down so he had to fix it the entire weekend. Did you take in the part where he talked about the members and how they need to find those people for the missionaries to teach, you don’t even know how true that is. Every missionary was like clapping there hands when he said that. I got the letters that you sent along with the pictures yesterday and I got the newsletter Saturday, or Monday actually I don’t know. You can always forward Colten's emails to me I email him but its always awesome to hear the other side to. I could only imagine my little Papi and how sad he is but tell him to suck it up and get over it. That is the “no feeling Logan” coming out, ha-ha. But no it will always pass, the crazy thing is that I have missed everyone but not nearly as much as I thought I would. Life is just so crazy, I think that I am finally into this missionary life thing because everything just comes so natural now and life as a missionary is just second nature. I really cannot imagine not being here, I am enjoying serving the people and meeting the everyday challenge we are faced with. Well I just want to let you know that I love you guys and well at least you are not stuck with someone 24 hours a day. At least you can have a little bit of freedom!
Well have a great week!
Love You, Logan
