Yo what it do Familia?
Well zone conference is on Monday we are having a little Christmas thing supposedly all the Elders of the mission are going to be there except the ones on the islands. So you have emailed PePe? She is the Samoan lady she is absolutely awesome and definitely one of my favorites.
So yeah I am in Rio Piedras, my companions name is Elder Polanco he is from the Dominican Republic and does not speak a word of English, its cool though because it forces me to learn my Spanish and talk more in Spanish. It is in San Juan area it’s just another city in a city its like Phoenix we are part of the Phoenix area but we live in Mesa.
There is one elder from my MTC group over here he is in the area next to mine. I am biking, that’s it nothing else we walk after six because that is the rule but yeah biking all the way, it’s really hilly so that is a little bit hard. I am trying to get used to it.
Yeah I am at the college right now doing email. Christmas calls can only be 40 minutes long. That’s a bummer.
About Colten’s call, yes it will fine with me that he opens it.You can still just tape it and send me a memory card so that I can watch it. Unless it comes before Christmas then I want to talk and find out from him,so that will be fine.
We have a baptism on Sunday so that is cool her name is Pamela she is 15 and really cool. We have a couple of other people we are working with so we shall see. I don’t need the calling card for Christmas, as I will be calling from a members house, they have free long distance.
Things are good. Just the normal missionary stuff. Pretty cool I am excited for this Christmas stuff to be over.
It’s just not the same, but I cannot wait to talk to everybody on Christmas Day.
Peace,
Logan

Hola mi Famila,
Well the news is that I am leaving and Elder Osterloh is staying here. So that is the big news for the week. I don’t know where I am going yet but I will find out tomorrow and therefore I will tell you next week. So I hope you have not sent any letters to my apartment, if you have Elder Osterloh can just give them to me at the Christmas party on the 24th.
I got the newsletter, I really do not like my leaving picture it looks really bad and you should complain and try to get the original before, so that that thing is not on my plaque that would be great.
I especially enjoyed the girl’s letters that is awesome how good they are doing. If you see them tell them I send my love and good luck with everything.
So Eloy is a boy. Maria or Eloy did not get baptized this week its okay though its been a struggle for us because we have worked with them so much and well the Lord knows what he is doing, there is no doubt that they will get baptized it is just a matter of time. So I have learned another virtue of patience I think the lord is trying to teach me that he just keeps reinterating it to me through my work. Ha-ha it’s all good. They will both get baptized, eventually; it’s just too bad I won’t be there to see it. Elder Osterloh said he would call me when it happens.
We are getting only one Elder this transfer, and loosing a good 8 to 10 Elders. So Elder Osterloh is training the new Elder so that is pretty cool, we go pick him up today and we will be a threesome for a night. I have not opened all of the packages I saved the bigger one for Christmas day because I had to pack and it is not possible for me to carry all that stuff around. Well I loved the little quotes and stuff I keep them all and put them in my journal. So I need a new journal also, and a new shaver because mine is breaking. So yeah but that is all really. I locked the pictures that I wanted you to send me so if you could do that, it would be awesome.
So my guess where Colten is going is Jamaica or North Dakota or West Indies (West Indies is where I want him to go but he probably will not go there)I have my calling card but it is put away and I can give that to you next week. I sent my memory card home already it will get there soon. Well yeah so this week was really good. We just went contacting and found some really cool people but all is well. I am so excited to be in a new area, definitely ready for a change its going to be great. Well love you all and have a great week. Peace, Logan

Letter Home December 5th, 2007
Mother and Father and Brother,
What is up this week was a bit tough. We didn’t have our baptisms but for sure they will end up being baptized. Maria had to work because her brother is in prison so she is doing a lot of stuff for him. Pretty crazy but she said she wants to be baptized this Sunday which is pretty cool. I am definitely excited. They will both end up getting baptized but it is just a matter of time. I know that without a doubt, I know that she had missed three baptismal dates but she has really good intentions and she will be baptized. For sure. Oh yeah Eloy did not get baptized either because at the last moment she said that she wanted to give him more time.
Yeah you sent a memory card but I sent another home and you never sent me one back again. Seriously, I am pretty sure. Hopefully and if not it will probably pop up somewhere. The memory card will be in today if you sent me one on Monday so I will make sure that I do that for you. I have some great pics I really want you to send me some I will have the ones I want copies of locked so that they can’t be erased so that you can know.
So that is sweet that you got that calling because that is exactly what you want to do. Pretty sweet. So have they already got my plaque up yet? Or are they running behind like the normal Valley View ward that I left behind?
Yes, here you also see a lot of caskets above the ground that is how most of them were. I don’t think the family could afford it.Yeah it was crazy to see her dead just laying there but its part of life we all die and there is nothing we can do about it. Didn’t really faze me at all. But it wasn’t Elder Osterloh that jumped in the grave it was Elder Oporto. He is from Colombia; he is pretty cool he came in at the same time as me.
So these twelve days of Christmas package I can’t say that I will save them because I am kind of excited but I will definitely try.
So I can’t believe that Colten’s papers are in I am so excited to see where he is going, man that is so exciting I cant wait. I know that I am not as excited as Colten but man I know exactly how he feels as for the waiting game I could never wish that upon anyone and I am sure that his papers will come back quick. So Morgan’s will be soon to that is so exciting. Were going to have three Wells missionaries out in the field that is going to be sick!
As far as transfers, this next week more than likely they will send Elder Osterloh to a different area because he was in his last area for 6 months and they usually trade your companion almost every time.
Well this week has been absolutely awesome I have met so many cool people as we were walking down the street the other day I was walking and we were looking for people to talk to well I was saying a little prayer in my heart for Heavenly Father to put someone in our way to talk to and meet and teach. Well there was this guy who was cleaning his yard we decided to talk to him usually we don’t talk to people that are cleaning and stuff because they are occupied and they will usually just shoo you away. Well we started talking he asked us if we wanted to come in and talk with him for a little bit and so we went in he gave us cake and some orange juice his Wife was there well we taught them and they were really cool and they wanted us to stop by again and talk some more well long story short the lord answers our prayers and it is important to always make sure that we have prayers in our hearts and that we are listening because it is so easy to just pass on by and never even notice. The Holy Ghost is a still small voice and well if we are asking and not listening it will pass us by and we will never know what happened. Well this week has been amazing time is flying by!
Keep me posted on Colten and Morgan's progress.
I love you all! Logan

Hola Famila,
My Thanksgiving was absolutely amazing; we went to the Samoan family in our ward we had turkey and all the good stuff. It was way cool then they gave us all the left over’s so we had plenty to eat awesome. It was kind of weird not being together but it was all good. That is awesome that Justin is being so good to those guys. Man that is way exciting, I can’t wait till they get there calls it will definitely go by faster than you can even imagine. And it will be here before they know it. One thing Colten could do is go out with the missionaries. I know that when we have a member present at an appt it is always better and it is one thing that gets converts to stick and stay active in the church. Man I really cant wait till they get there calls and that would be the greatest Christmas present ever that would be awesome especially because we are not going to see each other for so long.
I sent a tape home last P-day so that should be there probably the end of the week.
So I always love everything that is in the packages I loved the stamps the tape recorder everything seriously, I always have so much to say. My gratitude for everything that you guys do for me. I have enough labels. I loved the diabetes shirt of course I wear it all the time along with my dice shirt. Ha-ha did you know that they sent me that shirt?
That is sad to hear about the church. Really if it was a hate crime I wouldn’t want to be judged for that crime even if they don’t get caught there is no fooling heavenly father. That is what funny people think is just because they don’t get caught there okay. But they don’t know that they are working on this earth for there salvation.
Maria is good she wasn’t baptized on Sunday but she said it would be this Saturday. Who knows we just keep working with her who knows what will happen. Eloy is definitely getting baptized this Saturday so we will have a baptism so that is cool. We are working with lots of people but Maria and Eloy have us pretty occupied because we have to contact them every day so that is a lot of work. We are really working with so many people we work with a lot of less actives we are just always busy.
So do you think that you could get me an ipod seriously? They are okay to have. You never answered me so I was just wondering.
I am all good medically I need to work out a little bit more the car is getting me fat again. Hahahaha. Well things are all good here. The food is amazing time is flying by and well I can’t wait till these holidays are over because everyone says the holidays are slower and if that is the case then I am definitely excited because the time is going to fly. Yeah well all is well and if you got any questions give me a ring. Oh wait you can’t. Hahahah. Well all is well and there are no worries here. I will send you another funny story home this week.
Love you all! Logan

Famila,
Things are great here in Puerto Rico. I am fine now with my headache and ears. No worries, they will send us to the doctors if we want to go. It all worked out.
Maria was not baptised this past Sunday. Her brother is in the mental hospital and she had to go take care of him. We have talked to her and she is definetely going to get baptized. We just talked to her and her boyfriend. He now wants to marry her, you have to buy stamps here for marraige, and he allready bought them. Maria wants to get married and baptized on the same day, so we are pretty excited and it will more than likely happen within the next few weeks.
Our other baptismal date is set for the 1st of December. His name is Eloy, his Mom was baptized about 18 years ago. He is a way cool kid and is so excited to be baptized.
Oh our P-Days have changed to Wednesdays, so you will get your emails now on Wednesdays.I don't think it will change much now as there aren't very many holidays on Wednesdays. When there were holidays on P-Days we work, and then our P-Days were changed.
I am so excited about Colten, so he should get his call soon. The tape idea will be great. I want to hear it on the tape, and not by email. So don't let anyone tell me before I get the tape!!
Yes, I was thinking about all of us kids being in different places. I know it will be weird, but 2 years is nothing compared to the eternity. We will all be together soon enough.
Yes, I got the package, I always love everything you send! I love getting ties, keep looking for cool ones.
As far as Thanksgiving, we might go eat with this really cool family. The Mom is Samoan, and the Dad is Puerto Rican, they speak English. They have invited us over, and we really like spending time with their family. It doesn't really seem like holidays really exist here, it is so crazy to think that.
Tell Colten to read "Preach my Gospel", it will help him so much on his mission. I love you all, have a great week. Peace, Logan

Hola familia!
Things are definitely good. My first baptism is this Sunday, Maria committed to living the law of chastity because she doesn’t live with her boyfriend so it is not a problem for her to get baptized. Pretty cool! So I am doing the baptism this Sunday after church. Yeah I am a bit nervous because it’s in Spanish and well haven’t done that yet but I know that it will be good. But I am so excited for Maria because she has been going to church and yes she absolutely loves it. She is so awesome and is super prepared. She absolutely is amazing. And yes the twelve year old went to church this last week and went to mutual night. We have to get the kids of the branch more active. We are doing amazing Eloy's baptism is the 1st of December we could do it earlier but we want to make sure that he has a good time and the desire stays there so that he can be a strength for his Mom. She is really cool she has to take care of three grand kids a sick Grandma and Uncle and her two kids at the same time. So at the moment it really is impossible for her to get to church but we have the members take the youngest. The older brother came to the mutual night. He is like 19 so he is just a bit difficult but our goal is to get him to be baptized also. I am super excited. So next week I will make sure to get you some pics. MMMkay.
Okay time to answer the questions.
We have zone conference once a transfer.
There really was not any Trick or Treaters I only saw maybe like five.
We alsways go to the social events this last week we went to a family home evening and then cleaned the chapel. The chips arrived fine and they were gone within the couple of days. We don’t have any plans yet for Thanksgiving. The pants fit, I was kind of surprised. So things are good. I will probably gain a little bit back but I am still trying to watch what I eat but it is hard when you are getting fed all the time.
Mom you are amazing and the lord knows that just remember that the Lord will bless you he doesn’t let any good act go unnoticed. But I am doing well, Elder Osterloh and I are getting along great! Well I love and miss you all. Thanks for the support and all that you do for me.
Until next week, Logan

Family,
You have no idea of how awesome it is out here in the mission field. I am not going to lie I absolutely love it now. Yes at first it was really difficult but man I love this place. I love everything about missionary work. I love sharing the gospel and well all that comes along with that. I do have a baptism for the 17th of November she is a really cool lady her name is Maria Diaz she came to church this week she has a super cool spirit and she love church maybe because everyone welcomed her so well. But the only problem is that she has a boyfriend than she has had for 15 years and is not married to him. SO the new goal is really just getting her married. You would be surprised at how often this happens. It’s cool though because we had a really good lesson and she was afraid before to ask him but she said she would ask him and see what he has to say. Its way way way cool! But have I told you how much I love this area and how excited I am to be staying here for a while longer. The guess is that I will probably be here for another two transfers because my comp will probably leave next time leaving me here and then I will stay again and probably leave the next so I will probably be here till the end of January. Pretty cool I am way excited. We had a baptism in our branch this week a guy named Angel it was so cool I got to be the witness so that was awesome. So another thing that is making missionary work so amazing is the less active members we are teaching. There is this lady who got baptized and never went back to church but she is super cool and she has some really cool kids well we are teaching them and we are going to give the younger one a baptismal date this week. So that should be pretty cool. We are so going to have 3 baptisms this transfer that is the goal. We also had zone conference that was pretty amazing President Dewsnup is awesome and knows his scriptures like the back of his head, all the scriptures new and Old Testament. But here is a good scripture that I love,it is 2 Nephi 26 26-31. I love it here and I am falling in love with the people. My companion is amazing and he always keeps me laughing and having a good time. Life is awesome.
I got the email from Colten today I read it before this one so I already knew and emailed him. I am so excited to hear this you have no idea. I think this has been the greatest news that I have heard while on my mission and the greatest news that I am waiting to hear about now. Seriously.
Oh so here is the other news we were walking and biking everywhere this one day and we were completely exhausted completely but then we got this call and the Elders called us and said we have this car that we are going to drop off in about an hour, naturally I said “what car?”, thinking maybe it was a mistake well they said that they were bringing us a car and that it would be here in about an hour. So it is a 2008 Corolla with 40 miles on it. That is way awesome so I might get a little bit fatter this transfer and all that weight that I have lost my just come back, but I am okay with that considering I have a car all the time.
Elder Osterloh absolutely loved the package he opened it up and started wearing the Arizona shirt right away and drinking out of his mug. Man he is such a hoot. Something that his family does is the tape recorder thing, it’s a pretty cool idea and keeps me entertained. Its fun. So if you want to do that,that would be pretty cool.
Well love you and thanks for everything you have no idea how much I appreciate everything that you do for me.
Love you all! Logan

I love everything about missionary work. I love sharing the gospel and well all that comes along with that. I do have a baptism for the 17th of November she is a really cool lady her name is Maria Diaz she came to church this week she has a super cool spirit and she love church maybe because everyone welcomed her so well. But the only problem is that she has a boyfriend than she has had for 15 years and is not married to him. SO the new goal is really just getting her married. You would be surprised at how often this happens. It’s cool though because we had a really good lesson and she was afraid before to ask him but she said she would ask him and see what he has to say. Its way way way cool! But have I told you how much I love this area and how excited I am to be staying here for a while longer. The guess is that I will probably be here for another two transfers because my comp will probably leave next time leaving me here and then I will stay again and probably leave the next so I will probably be here till the end of January. Pretty cool I am way excited. We had a baptism in our branch this week a guy named Angel it was so cool I got to be the witness so that was awesome. So another thing that is making missionary work so amazing is the less active members we are teaching. There is this lady who got baptized and never went back to church but she is super cool and she has some really cool kids well we are teaching them and we are going to give the younger one a baptismal date this week. So that should be pretty cool. We are so going to have 3 baptisms this transfer that is the goal. We also had zone conference that was pretty amazing President Dewsnup is awesome and knows his scriptures like the back of his head, all the scriptures new and Old Testament. But here is a good scripture that I love,it is 2 Nephi 26 26-31. I love it here and I am falling in love with the people. My companion is amazing and he always keeps me laughing and having a good time. Life is awesome.
I got the email from Colten today I read it before this one so I already knew and emailed him. I am so excited to hear this you have no idea. I think this has been the greatest news that I have heard while on my mission and the greatest news that I am waiting to hear about now. Seriously.
Oh so here is the other news we were walking and biking everywhere this one day and we were completely exhausted completely but then we got this call and the Elders called us and said we have this car that we are going to drop off in about an hour, naturally I said “what car?”, thinking maybe it was a mistake well they said that they were bringing us a car and that it would be here in about an hour. So it is a 2008 Corolla with 40 miles on it. That is way awesome so I might get a little bit fatter this transfer and all that weight that I have lost my just come back, but I am okay with that considering I have a car all the time.
Elder Osterloh absolutely loved the package he opened it up and started wearing the Arizona shirt right away and drinking out of his mug. Man he is such a hoot. Something that his family does is the tape recorder thing, it’s a pretty cool idea and keeps me entertained. Its fun. So if you want to do that,that would be pretty cool.
Well love you and thanks for everything you have no idea how much I appreciate everything that you do for me.
Love you all! Logan
