Elder Logan Porter: 2018 Going Great

What a crazy awesome week! We are now a technology mission! And even better than that we had a baptism this week! So many fun things going on! I am so proud of Vince, among all the things Satan threw in his way to stop his baptism, he pushed through with such a powerful conviction this is the right thing to do. I had the privilege of baptizing him. While in the changing room, he told me of his week and how thing after thing, person after person, was trying to stop him. He bore his testimony and thanked our Heavenly Father for helping him to stay strong and make it to that point. What an awesome experience it was!
Yesterday we got trained on the new apps that have opened up. Facebook is one of those apps so we are now all doing some changing to our accounts to make them approved. We will not be contacting family or friends for casual reasons so for contacting please use this email still. It will be fun to interact with others digitally. What a blessing to share the precious truths we hold so dear with many more people than we already have contact with. We encourage positive posts and comments on all of your posts too. What a wonderful way it is to lift, INSPIRE, and encourage others.
I'm so grateful for the many blessings I receive in my life each and every day. It's amazing to have so many wonderful people in my life that have been a huge reason why I am here today. I know that a mission is way more than just a "good thing to do" this is God’s work, we are sharing His message. That message is a message of peace and good will... a message that gives us the knowledge and direction to return to our Father in Heaven with our Families. Please remember if nothing else. You are loved so much by friends and family, yes. But our Father in Heaven knows, loves, and cares about you like you couldn't even imagine. I hope you all have a wonderful week! Smile lots and look for the good in the moment!
