Washington DC South Mission: Week 43: June 7, 2015

Today for P-Day we went to lunch with President Riggs then he took us to Great Falls

To dad: I got an email from a lady who said she went to high school
with you. Her son was in my mission and asked who I was in a picture
I got with him. He said "thats Elder Frew". And she was like "I bet
he's related to delwin frew. Her name is Colleen Sullivan Payne. She
said that you and her went to high school together in Idaho. Her son
Elder Payne was probably the funniest elder out here until he went
home. She lives in Southern California now too. Cool story.

We didn't have the best week. But on Friday we were driving back to
our apartment and I saw this little guy crossing the road. I pulled
over and grabbed him before he got rocked by the cars. He's now living
in our backyard living off the leftovers or food that goes bad in the
back of the fridge. Pday had been pretty frustrating because it took
forever together my email account to work and a couple other things so
I'm not going to write very much. We picked up a couple new
investigators but the people we already have are not progressing very
well and it's super hard to meet with them. But catching the turtle
made up for the frustrating week.

I don't feel like writing too much. Thanks for the pics and I will
talk to you next week.
Love elder frew

Washington DC South Mission Week 42: June 7, 2015

Hey family,

Thanks for sending me all of the photos and videos. Its super crazy how its already been a year since I was doing all the graduation stuff. That doesn't surprise me that people were snorting cocaine at Daniels grad night. There was a bunch of people that were super plastered at mine. That's cool Daniel won a pair of sunglasses. I still wear the watch I got from mine everyday.

This week we had 4 exchanges which was really crazy. The first won we went on was with Elder Miles(Gentrys friend) and Elder Johnson. They were training both me and Blanchard on stuff and talked a little bit about leadership since a lot of Elders are going home these next 2 transfers so their preparing people to fill in. After that we went with the zone leaders the next day which was alright. Not super fun. The next day I went with a set of elders in our area because elder Blanchard had a leadership meeting. Then the final exchange we went on was with the assistants to the president. I went with elder white and my comp went with elder Walters. So it was a pretty crazy week.

We had a really good lesson with a girl named Kryslyn. That was when I was with the APs. We taught the gospel of J.C and it went really well. She is ready to be baptized except she hasn't settled in a certain home yet. She lives in new port news, but jumps around in Burke and sometimes goes to NYC.

Earlier in the week we were checking on a potential and the door we knocked on gave a nice little anti-Mormon literature book. HA Ha. I was starting to read through a little bit but elder Blanchard wanted me to throw it out so we ripped it apart a couple of times and then put it in the trash. Its ridiculous how much anti there is out there. And especially on the Internet. There was a guy that showed up to our ward a couple weeks ago and wanted to be baptized. We were super excited because we thought it would able to baptism him.  Then two days later he got into some anti and now he wont meet with us at all. We go to his house where hi wife is a member but he goes up stairs and wont come down. Its super annoying.

I saw elder oyler a couple days this week when we went to the mission office to pick up supplies. That was pretty cool. Today for Pday were going bolfing with President Riggs and Elder Miles and his comp which should be pretty fun. Bolfing is just golf, except you throw a bowling ball and the  holes are a lot bigger. And we might play some Frisbee golf too. 

I got your package too this week. Except it got let out in the rain so the box got soaked. but nothing got ruined which was really nice.

Well I will talk to you guys next week. Love you all

Washington DC South Mission: Week 41: June 1, 2015

Elder Chan from Hong Kong

Elder Frew and Elder Chan

Hey family,

Elder Blanchard and I are doing good. We got our car back earlier this
week which was really nice.On Friday all the cars in the mission got
tiwis put inside of them. Which is a little black box that reports of
your speed, not wear a seat belt, etc..., and reports it to the mission
president.

This week Elder Blanchard and I drove all over the place trying to get
a parking pass for our town home. It took us probably like 3 hours one
day to get a pass which was really annoying and irritating.

I went on exchange earlier this week with the Chinese speaking elders
which was pretty fun. Elder Chan is from Hong Kong, he and I went 
in his area and drove around the mission seeing people that spoke
Chinese. We went into Arlington and McLean which was pretty cool since
I've never been in that area yet. I would really like to serve in
Arlington sometime in my mission.

It's starting to get pretty hot and humid but we're in a car now so it
doesn't really affect us. I'm afraid that next transfer we might lose
the car because our mission is getting rid of 9 cars because so many
elders and sisters are going home this summer and fall. But hopefully
we will get to keep it. Otherwise it will really suck because the town of Burke

 is really big and hard to cover on bike. Also we're the only elders in the
ward so we would be covering all of it by ourselves.

Not too much happened this week.  
It's super crazy how it's been a year since I was graduating from
Placer. It's been a pretty quick year.

 Love you and talk to you next week

Washington DC South Mission: Week 40: May 25, 2015

Washington DC TEMPLE: Transfers

Hey everyone,
So last Monday I hit a curb on pday and had to take the car in. We
found out that it did more damage then I thought. It needs a new
wheel, rim, alignment , and something else. The inspection said it
would be about 1000 dollars. So we've been on bike for the last few
days which has kinda sucked. We had a really good turn out for church
this Sunday though. We had 3 investigators come to church which was
really good. And one of them asked what they would have to do to be
baptized,

We had interviews this week with President Riggs for the last time.
This is his last transfer here and then he will go home which is kinda
weird. We are also having a training on Friday where we are getting
tiwis put in the car. A tiwi is a black box that gets installed to the
car and beeps at you  if you go too fast.

Today we went to the temple for pday. It was good. Then after that we
didn't really do too much. I found out that there is a guy in our ward
that knows Stewart Schulzke named brother Mann. He said that he was
his MTC teacher.
Sorry I can't write too much today.

Love Logan

Washington DC South Mission: Week 39: May 18, 2015

My new companion from Rexburg, Idaho

WE HAVE A CAR NOW!

Elder Frew & Elder Blanchard (Rexburg, Idaho)

Transfer Day: Farewell Elder Annis

A Good bye to one of my Favorite Families!

Hey Family, So this week was transfers. I'm now serving in Burke, VA. I'm in the

 same ward that President Riggs goes  with his family. My new companion is
Elder Blanchard from Rexburg Idaho. He is super cool. We live 
in a town home with four other missionaries. It's called the missionary frat
house. We also have a car which is really nice. Except I already
drifted into a curb, I got really lucky that it was only that. It's funny that

 this has been the week for car accidents. I'll be able to beat the heat this summer.

We went to a concert last night that was at stake center. It was Jenny
Oaks Baker and her family that plays a bunch of musical instruments
but mostly the violin. It's Elder Oaks daughter. I've never heard of
her but I guess a lot of people know her. It was really good. 

We also played a pick up game freshman after an appointment I will
send you a video of it. Told them if we beat them that we got to teach
them.... We won 16 to 3 haha. Elder Blanchard is really good at
basketball too. Sorry I don't have much time write today.  We have to
go to the hospital today during the day and give a blessing.

Love you all,

Elder Frew

**Note: I have a new address now (Thats for Sister Taylor)

Washington DC South Mission: Week 38: May 11, 2015

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM!

Everyone skyped in at once, such a great day...

Hi Family:

Skype was a lot of fun. I will let you know what happens for
transfers this week. We are probably going to go to Mount Vernon today which
will be cool. I'll try and send some pics. Love Logan.

Last Week in MT. Vernon

Washington DC South: Week 37: May 4, 2015

Hey family,
This week we had zone conference. It was good but kind long. 
President Riggs made me conduct the music. I didn't know how to lead so I just sang in front of everyone then he came up and showed me how to do it in a sense.

 There was a baptism this week in our ward for the other
elders. We found a family tracking that the mom grew up in Utah and
had a lot of Mormon friends but never was baptized. She had ancestors join the church in France and then moved across the plains with all the pioneers. After convincing them to let us come back  we set up a time for next weekend. It was a good week. 

We also have a stake cconference this weekend. Along with the regional conference. So we haven't been able to get to many investigators to church. Although we do have people that are progressing. 

 We are working with a recently married couple that are 21 and 20. Elder Annis is older than both of them. We also had dinner with our investigator Owen. That night we he had three dinners. Kind of felt sick afterwards, but I'm all good.

Today we have a zone activity playing kickball and also Frisbee. I can
talk to you Sunday about applying for schools. But I think I want
to apply to Utah State, BYU, and UVU. I don't want to apply to BYU
Idaho. I think that would just be a waste of money cause I don't want
to go there.  I will call you Saturday to set up a time to Skype. But
more than likely will be Skype at around 3 to 5 your time. We're
finally getting the bedbugs removed. The only thing thing that sucks
is we have to pay 75 bucks because we weren't ready today when they
came to spray. Elder Annis got kinda pissed at the people because they
tried to make us sign something for the 75 bucks.
Anyway sorry it's short today. I will talk to you later this week.

Love elder frew
