Subject: good-bye elder Logan and hello elder Aker

Hello family. well things are going good here. Training is a lot of work. With this new program that they are doing the MTC doesn't even teach the lessons to the new missionaries. They teach them all of the teaching skills and that's it. So my new comp. is Elder Aker. he is from south CA. he is 25 and a convert to the church. He joined when he was 22. I do have to say he is a little weird. He thinks that I'm really funny and now he is trying to act like me. He just is not as funny when he tries. other than that he seems to be a hard worker. He is not too scared to talk to people. So we had our baptism on this week. It was great a lot of people from the ward came. we even had an invest. there too. Then we gave him a church tour. so elder aker and i were just sitting in the car and wanting to know where to go. I pull out the ward list and look to see how we should go see. I see one family that stands out. I wanted to know if that is really who we should go see. so i gave elder Aker the list and said pick someone to go see. and he pick the same person that i did. so we went and they were in need of some service and we were able to help them. It was a part-member family. I really wanted and tryed to teach him. but he still wouldn't have it. so we tryed. Well that's about it for now. PS for mom and dad. Did you ever get my new debit card? if so could you send that to me. I just called about it today. They said that it should be there soon. If you already have one they are sending another one. Well I love you all and miss you tons. See you all in 5 weeks.

Subject: I'm going to work myself in to the ground this transfer.

Hello everybody. How are things things are good here. So i found out that i will be staying here and getting a brand new missionary. I'm training for my last transfer. And I have been chosen for a pilot program with Training. It is going to be a lot of work this new thing that we are doing. We will have 3 hour long studies and it is all planned out what we need to study. I had to go to this big meeting on the program. We have people from the MTC here teaching us how it all works. On transfer day I will have to have a hour long comp. study with my new comp. right in front of the MTC People. And to top it all off, They also made me the DL again. I won't have time to sleep or eat. Well other than that things are good. We have a Baptism this Sat. at 6 and it will be great. She asked me to do her confirmation. That will be a first for me. Some of our other people that we are teaching are moving very slow right now but still moving that's the main thing. I was also really sick this last week. But all better now. so on Friday of last week we got to watch the Movie Avatar. That Movie was really really really really good. I liked it a lot. I can't belive that they let us watch it. It was a lot of fun. We got to watch it because of how good we did one time this last transfer. The whole rest of this week was just tryin to get all of elder Logans crap ready to send home. Well that's about it for this week. I hope every things is going good for all. I love you and miss you tons. See you all in 6 weeks. LOL.

Subject: I can't move my arms. I hurts to much.

So we had another busy week this week. We got a lot done. Everything should be going well with Carrie. She is the lady that should be baptised on the 19th. We have a lesson with her tonight. We went to the FBI Thing that I had done before. It was a lot of fun. It was the biggest headache in the world to get us all there. We also worked out when we were there. I have not worked out that hard for a long time. I did bench 205. That is the most i have ever done. Now I am so tired. I will be hurting a lot tomorrow. We are going to get to go to the mission home this friday to watch a movie because of how well we did last week. They still haven't told us what the movie is going to be. Well thats about it for now sorry it is so short this week. didn't have a lot of time we have to go to a lesson really soon. Well i love you all and miss you tons.

Subject: You have already readied the whole

Book of mormon, and the Doctrine

and Covenants. Holy Crap!!!!!!

Why hello fam. How are things. Things are great. We had a really good week. We got a lot done. We had to work really had at the end of the week to make up for the snow that stopped us from driving. The later in the week we were going to have a lesson with our invest. that has a baptism date for the 5th. Well the snow stopped that. So Now we have to move her date. So is has been move to the 19th. She should make that date. We did end up meeting with her later in the week. Then we went to a member that is having a lot of health problems. And we gave him a blessing. I think that it has been a really long time sense he has been to church. It really didn't seem like he knows anything about it. So after that We got a referral. It was for a guy named Michael Goosman. So we go to his apt. and he is like come on up. So we go in and start asking some questions and we find out that he has readied the Whole BOM and D&C and part of other books. He know like every thing about the church. He is a very smart man. I have high hopes for him. We are teaching him soon. Then we went to help some people move and got the truck stuck in the snow and mud. It was a lot for fun trying to get it out. While the others were trying to get the truck out i was having asnow ball fight with the kids that came to help. It was a lot of fun. I think i through one too manysnow balls. My arm hurt really bad after that. It's fine now. so on Sunday the last day to get all of the lessons and new invest. that we needed to get the mission standard. We needed 5 lessons and 1 new invest. The lessons wasn't going to be that hard to get but the new invest. was. I was praying all day long to have help to find this person that we needed to teach. and with 2 lessons to go we are tracting and the last house that we have time for wanted us to come back and teach him more. I was sooooooooooooooooooooo happy. It was a great day. So right after that we went to one more members house to get our last lesson that we needed. So on Monday we had a lot of miles left and so i thought that it would be a good idea to out a little farther in the area. and so we go to see some members that we never got to see. and later he asked us for a blessing because he was having a really big job interview. He then said that out of the how ever many years that they have lived their the missionaries had stopped by like 2 times and we just happen to stop by on a day that he needed a blessing. Well that's about it for this week. I hope you all like the long email. I love you all and miss you tons.
