Hi Mom and Dad
Life is great here in Tortola. I love it more and more everyday. The hurricane was nothing, just lots of rain and wind. Sorry for the no email last week, with the hurricane the electricity was out for most of the day. Oh, I woke up to my bed shaking...I thought I was dreaming, Elder Dixon woke up too. It was a tremor. I am loving these cool experiences here. Elder Dixon and I are waiting for the boat, we are going to Virgin Gorda for the day. I am excited. That puts me up to 5 islands, Puerto Rico, Vieques, Tortola, St. Thomas, and Virgin Gorda, so sweet. We had a really good day at Church on Sunday. We had 42 people show up, which is incredibly awesome, because a year ago, it was like 15. The Lord has blessed this place so much. I just have to work a little harder to keep the pace that it is growing. It is insane, because before no one ever baptized in the Bristish Virgin Islands, it is truly amazing. The Lord loves his people, that is a bit of a understatement, I don't think we really understand how much. I know how much I love my family, and know that he loves us that much and more. How cool is that? We had our investigators Sheldon, Rob and Esther at church. They are coming along, and should be baptized this next month. It is amazing how much love for us the branch members have, Sherman our branch mission leader gave me a shirt from Guyanna, his wife Babeenie had made it for him. It is sad that almost everyone on this island has left their family to come to work here. They work for $4-5 dollars a hour. They are all just trying to make it better for their families and to better themselves. I more than likely will be here for the next 2 transfers, so that will take thru Christmas. I am a bit sad to not be in Puerto Rico, I loved the holidays there, and all the festivaties. Wow, can you believe this will be my last Christmas in the field? I am afraid July will be here before we know it. I love the gospel, and the opportunity to serve! Thanks for everything you do. I love you so much.
Peace, Logan

Yikes, Hurricane Omar
In a short email from Logan yesterday (Oct. 15th,) They were boarding up the house, had a 3 day supply of food, lots of water, and under hurricane warning to stay inside! Oh boy, I am staying glued to The Weather Channel, and surfing the web for Omar updates! Good Luck Logan, our prayers are with 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!

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.

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!

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

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
