how crazy..... its going to be weird not having my house to come home to... i guess thats kinda how andrew felt when his room...wasnt his room anymore... i am doing good.. no baptisms yet.. but i do have news...... IM GETTING A NEW COMPANION TODAY!!! Elder johnston was a super good dad to me and hes off to whitewash a bad, all bike area, thats only english.. crazy huh? its kindof cool im temporarily companions with my MTC comp elder Warner and my District leader from the MTC Elder Lawson (he has add worse than me...) my new compaion is going to be Elder Adams hes coming all the way from deming new mexico to take my Comps spot... he sounds like a good mom.. but from what i hear he's a feminist ... so i have to watch my (woman are bad drivers comments....)(thanks Andrew) but i think we willl get along just fine..
so we have quite a few progressing investigators... theres Ruben Rivera who has been to church 4 times and wants to get baptised but doesnt know for sure that everything is true..... yet... then there is Ernesto Franco who has been working alot and has slowed down his baptism by not being available to teach.. and he smokes.. then there is Carla who is going through a divorce...at 25 and doesnt really want to... but she wants to be baptised on a happy day...and those dont come often for her... then there is Ramona who believes but smokes and has ALOT of health problems that have been slowing her down... and then there is George who is just a lonely old man whos wife has just left him.. he 'Says' he wants to be baptised... and then there is Hector who is just a few months of getting his full citizenship.. but needs to get married with his wife of like 30 years... which would push his papers back at least a year... and thats about it for the ones "on the radar"
o i used my social and my pin and pulled 20 out of the bank a week or two ago... just so you know .. i cant remember if i already told you.. ill put it back in a month or so.. as for fun.. i love teaching people who want to learn... i had a cool experience with Ernesto about a month ago... he was worried that he was being punnished by god by losing his son... it was kind of a weird situation but i promised him in the nam eof the savior that that wasnt the case... he kindof pushed it off and said it was just words and he didnt believe... but then i stopped him.. told him that as missionaries we Represent the savior and that we are here to do and say what he would do and say if he himself were there... then i repeated my promise (i dont remember the promise) and basically just told him tat the lord had needed his sons help in heaven or something along those lines.... it was a very 'the windows of heaven were opened experience.... i havent had alot of those but i just love the feeling where you can see whats happining but you have no clue whats coming out of your mouth because you've let the spirit take over... he just started balling right there.. his burden was lifted and i testify that it was NOT ME that said those words to him. O the mysterious way in which the lord works .... i have a bunch of pictures for you all but im going to wait till next week so that i can put the new companion on there as well :D I love you all and thank you for all your love and support.          _--Elder Logan
