WASHINGTON DC SOUTH MISSION: WEEK 97: JUNE 20, 2016

This is about a months worth of recycling we saved up and dumped in a missionaries apartment.
(My mom always taught us to recycle)

Happy Father's Day,

I sent dad a letter this last week. So hopefully you guys got it in

the mail already?

So my ward mission leader works at the White House for secret security

and said that he could probably get us a tour of the White House when

you guys come out. So I thought dad would be excited for that.  We

didn't teach any lessons this week. It was overall just not that

great of a week.  We sat in on a Chinese lesson  where they just watched the video

"Meet the Mormons" in mandarin for an hour. Then afterwords had Chinese food with

the bishop, he is from Taiwan. I'm already running out of stuff to talk

about because nothing really happened this week.  We had a zone

training which actually was really good and yesterday for church the

speakers did really well. We had interviews with President Huntsman.

And Sister Anderson also took us out to lunch at a restaurant in our

area this week too. I guess I will just have to do  a Dallin Penny

letter this week...hahha.  Sorry for not writhing much.

 Love you all

Love Elder Logan Frew

WASHINGTON DC SOUTH MISSION: WEEK 96: JUNE 13, 2016

Hey Family


So this week we went on an exchanges Tuesday with the zone leaders
which was good. Elder Sanders came out with me and Elder Snow went to
Del Oro and is really cool. So we did that. Then Wednesday we had a
lesson with Diana. We brought our ward mission leader who is a convert
and taught the plan of salvation. It went really well. The only
problem is that she's moving on June 27th to the Ashburn Ward so we
will have to pass her off. But other than that nothing too exciting
happened. 

This week we have interviews with President Huntsman, zone training,
and few other things. Yesterday Elder Abney and I spoke in church along
with a couple who are leaving to be mission presidents in Brazil. It
went well. I may be able to send you the talk because the bishop
recorded it to send to a family who couldn't make it to sacrament.


So Grandpa Dale passed away I guess. That's sad and super heart breaking.
We are going to have to find someone else who can say "Hey watch it" now.

 Well I don't have too much else to write about.


Elder Tesch went home on Thursday which is pretty weird. He's starting
football camp for Weber state.


Love you all
Elder Logan Frew

Washington DC South Mission: Week 95: June 6, 2016

Hey family,

So this week we didn't have any lessons. But it did go by pretty quick
still. So we had transfers and Elder Abney and I are staying together
for my last full transfer. This will be 5 months together by the end of the
transfer. I was pretty excited because we get along really well and I
didn't want to get some new guy for my last transfer. Elder Blanchard
is an AP still and he saved my butt my suggesting leaving Elder Abney and I
together to President Huntsman. So that was the big stuff.

Elder Tesch goes home on Thursday. He has football camp coming up for Weber state...And elder Anderson went home already. Things are winding down here for me DC. I've had a few sleepless nights just reminiscing on all the
memories that I've had out here both good and bad. It will be hard to
leave all of this after a two year trek but it will be fun to be back
too! So today for PDay we went fishing we saw this biggest carp I've
ever seen. It was at least 3ft long. I tried snagging it for about an
hour before switching back to my lure. The other elders were catching
little beaker fish, so I used the fish they caught and put a hook
through it and caught two nice bass using the live bait. We also
caught a really big snapping turtle. I don't have a picture of it
though. Other than that's about it.

Love you all
Elder Logan Frew

Washington DC South Mission: Week 94: May 30, 2016

Hey Family; 

This week we had a lesson  with our only investigator now named Diana,
the other single mom we were teaching has been avoiding us
unfortunately. But the lesson actually went pretty well. We weren't
really expecting much out of her but she actually asked good
questions. She was an "all paths lead to heaven" the first time and
everything religion is true kind ideology. So that was good. We meet
with her this week too.  We did service a few days this week in the
afternoon. Pretty much just a regular week except for when Sunday
rolled around. We were just getting done with with 2nd hour of church
when I ran into Bahar Motley in the hallway. She is John Motley's wife
who got baptized in my first area (Potomac Crossing). I talked to her
for a little bit and she said John was in the chapel for the Ashburn
Ward sacrament service(I also was in the Ashburn Ward). I went in and
sat with him through the sacrament and talked after the service. I
hadn't seen him since I left Potomac in January of 2015. I also knew
he went less active after I left. So it was a really good day for me
to see him and doing really well in the church. I'm going to go stop
by tonight which will be good. John got into some anti-Mormon stuff after I left
along with some member of the ward making a racist comments which made him
leave for a good while. So I had a lot of joy seeing that he's doing
good and in a solid Ward that will fellowship him. Sunday night we
also went down to the Mount Vernon chapel for a New member fireside
with a less active guy in hot Ward. So Sunday was a good day for me.

Today for PDay Elder Abney and I are going into DC to see the
archives. Thursday will be transfers. So I may have a new companion.
I'm hoping we stay together for my last full transfer. that would be 3
transfers together which doesn't really happen that much.


Love you all,
Elder Logan Frew

Elder Frew ran into Fred Penney in streets of DC on Memorial day with 50,000 people coming out of same restroom! 

Washington DC South Mission: Week 93: May 23, 2016

ELDER  LOGAN  FREW  IN  ER FRIDAY  NIGHT

HEY FAMILY; 
So so mom is probably eagerly waiting to hear why I was in the ER...
Well folks I decided it was TMI, and he's fine now and on antibiotics. 
Thank you for your prayers! 

To top off the disappointing week we tracked it into a pretty good
looking girl who gave us a return appointment for Saturday except when
we showed up she wasn't there and she wasn't there in the afternoon
either and she also didn't answer her phone. But we also had some good
news picking up two new investigators. 

Today for PDay. We went shopping at sports authority which at 60% off the entire store.

Love you all,
Elder Frew

SEE HE IS BACK TO WORK AND DOING WELL

Washington DC South Mission: Week 92: May 16,2016

Hey family,


Well this week we found out that one of our investigators is moving to
South Carolina. This week we also stopped by Elliot and his mom opened
the door and said not to come back. He was actually interested in
learning which sucks. So we lost two of out 3 investigators. We were
able to meet with Lenora either this week because she was busy when we
dropped by Saturday we had 3 lessons set up with members and all
three fell through. So we  didn't have the best week. We did have zone
conference along with a zone training which was actually really good.
President Huntsman talked on how finding is all about your faith.
Other than that nothing too exciting. I got a haircut last week from Elder
Tesch and played ball. Nothing too exciting this week. 

Love you all
Elder Logan Frew

Washington DC South Mission: Week 91: May 9, 2016

Hey family,

It was good to talk with everyone yesterday for the last time. So we had a lesson Saturday with a our investigator with 3 little kids all under 6. The member saved 
that came with us saved us by distracting the kid so we could talk with the mom. 
It was hard to teach with the kids being brats but it would have been way worse if we didn't have our member there. Other than that not much happened. 

We went on exchange with another set of elders which was OK. I'm not really a big fan of
going on exchanges unless it's with a buddy. This next week we have zone conference and zone training. This last week we also met with a part member family. Nothing too exciting to report on. 

Love you all.
Elder Frew

(PS. I gave the little kid my iPad to play with so he'd be quite but he
got into my photo and a took a bunch of photos, hahhaha)

And I had a surprise visit  this week from The Loveland Family
