Hello!
How are you doing? I am doing great. Oh, I actually read my patriartichal blessing this last Sunday during church it just really makes me feel a little down evertime I read it because there is so much in there that does not seem like me, but then again the Lord knows my capabilities and that I have no doubt. So yeah I am not leaving I will be dying (a term that means they are leaving from the area in which they are serving) here peacefully so that is great, I am loving it here! I don't think that you could guess who is my companion? They are shutting down one of the areas and are combining our areas so I will be staying here with Elder Free so that is really cool, my companion will be going to Dominica so he is pretty excited. I have not gotten the package yet but I should be getting it today because we are going to the mission office. We are staying in our apt so you can send stuff there. I am super excited to be here in Santurce and not have to worry about a crappy companion because I already know who my companion is and it is notgoing to be akward getting to know each other so that is cool. Well it is pretty insane that I am starting my last transfer and my next transfer I will be home so that is a bit strange but we shall see exactly what goes on. We have had a little bit of a strggle finding new people but with the combination of the areas there is plenty of work for us to do, so its pretty cool we shall see how things play out in the long run! I had a great birthday and so things are going just great only 6 more weeks and I will be there at home! I can't wait to spend more time with you and Dad! P.S. How is my car? I want a picture of proof that is being worked on. Thank you so much for everything I love and miss you guys so much have a great week! Always, logan

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

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

Hello Family!
How are you? I am doing great, I had a really good week. Actually at this moment in time I am having no pain in my knee whatsoever and so that is really cool, because I am not using my brace nothing I am so relieved cause I was getting a little bit scared about the thoughts of maybe having to get another surgery. I think that maybe my muscles have been built back up and so its great news,I am so relieved because I can walk around all day and not have any pain what so ever just a little bit of soreness from walking so much. I love walking around all day and then feeling tired, its great! Okay here is a funny story for the week, we were sitting at the church waiting for a investigator to come in and this lady comes running down the street saying "policia policia "and we were like oh great what is going on? She is screaming at the top of her lungs and we are just sitting there and then we see this bum just running so me and my comp look at each other and we are like okay fine, so we take off and start running after him some how I have this like bionic speed thing going on becasue I am running next to Elder Francis and we are chasing this guy, well we get around the corner and then he runs into the street and well as you wouldn't guess there is this guy that comes out of nowhere and punches the guy in the head and drops him right there in the middle of traffic it was really funny. Oh and then there was a member from Utah that was sitting right there looking for the church so that was the highlight of our week. Yudelka is doing really good, we had a really good talk with her yesterday adn she is going to prepare to bebaptized on the 7th of June which is great, I am pretty excited for that she is super pumped though and is actually firm on that day. I am asking permission there is this new nixon watch it iscalled the player but it is the rubber green one you should look it up and see if it is not totally Logan? I am thinking if it would be okay with you to take like$100 off of my card and get it, its really cool though I would understand ifyou say no I can just wait and well, I will get the watch eventually. I sent home a puerto rican flag for you to hang in my room and another memory card so you can be expecting that in the mail very soon. Oh in the package that you are going to send me, I want some cookie mixes and some butterscoth chips. I made the cookies the other day and they were so good! When I was in Truijllo Alto we did not have a oven. Well Mom and Dad, I love you guys and I hope that you have a great week!
Love, Logan

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

Hello!
So things seem that they are going really well at home. At this point in the mission I am not a DL anymore, thank goodness not upset about that. I am not a moving elder either, I am just straight up senior companion and loving it! I can't believe that I only have 1 more transfer after this, its way cool though, I am so excited. We are working with lots of people we have found tons of new people but I am not going to tell you about them until they really start progressing because its like that one minute there hot and the next they are completely cold. Things are going really well we have a lady named Yudelk who has a baptismal date for the 23rd of May, she is way rad she is going thru a divorce so things right now are a little rough for her, but she is rocking it like no other, she is coming to church she can only come for sacrament because she has a contract to help at a orphanage and so there is no way she can get out of that. She has so much potential and is just willing to do everything that we give her. We are going to old San Juan today it is in our area so we can go there when ever we would like. I am just loving it though to tell the truth, life is greatI was a little crushed to leave Trujillo Alto but now I am so glad ,its given me the chance to really put myself out there and get to know alot more people. I was just way to comfortable over there its great though I love it! Yes, I would love some pics from Colorado, I can't believe that calls are already here again! I cannot wait to talk to everyone. I am in love with my area, I probably have the coolest companion in the whole wide world Elder Francis he rocks!We are just loving it and having a good time. Well yeah time is flying by, I love and miss you all so much, I will be home before you know it. Thanks for the stamps and stuff and the new memory card, life is just so exciting. Talk to you soon. Love, Logan

Hello!
How are you? Yep, I got transfered. I am in Santurce, it is a pretty cool, big city and defininetly going to be a different experience. My companions name is Elder Francis, he is from Orem, UT he seems like a pretty cool cat...he has 3 transfers in the mission. I am in the peraira district. There is a greenie from Mesa here, his name is Elder Jake Free. That is rad to have another Arizonan in the mission! Turns out that I am in a pretty fresh district, I am one of the oldest ones out here now. So really nothing new, just packing and moving to my 8th area, but what can you do, that is life. Talk to you later... I love you.

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