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

Paradigms...a lesson learned
Paradigm
(par” ə-dīm) n
A model or pattern. The set of values or concepts that represent an accepted way of doing things within an organization or community.
Wednesday, January 28th,2009
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

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

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
