Elder Logan Porter: Best part of a mission

So this week we went to May-day. Now what is that? I'm still not sure, a celebration of May or Spring maybe but I'm not sure... all I know is all the kids in elementary school had a huge performance. Each Grade had their own dance. It was awesome! The kids were so great and it was super cute! It was so fun after and through the following days asking them what dance they were in and they would like do the whole thing over again. It's a hot topic of conversation still!

Saturday was such a busy day! It started out with a wedding in the morning. It was at a beach park and it was absolutely beautiful! Right after we went to the chapel and had 4 Baptisms, one of them being the bride that was just married. It was a beautiful day seeing so many people dressed in white making promises with our Heavenly Father and beginning their journey to returning to him.

Sunday was the confirmations and the Spirit was so strong as they were confirmed members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What a wonderful day for the family! I was also asked to ordained a recent convert, who had gone less active and has recently returned, to the Priesthood. It was such a special moment as his family has come back to church with him. So many miracles have been happening and marvelous things are happening. I'm so grateful for the Lord and his direction in this work.

Transfers are always a crazy time! With missing the people who are leaving from finishing their missions, to those who get transferred out, and even the excitement of those coming to serve with you. Elder Hansen my MTC companion is getting transferred here as a Zone Leader so I will get to see him a lot. Exciting things like that are always fun to hear. The mission is so fun and truly is the best time ever!

As we read the scriptures and pray daily, we will know our standing with God and we will never drift away without knowing were drifting.

Have a wonderful week!
