Elder Yankey took Logan's camera left him some crazy pics
HEY WHATS UP HELLO EVERYONE AND ANYONE WHO WOULD OR COULD OR MIGHT BE READING THIS!!! Wow what a way to open an email I love to make an entrance in!! I hope you all are loving the Summertime and you all are soaking up the Sun and getting that nice tan.... Or getting burned for some of you that are on this group that get burned!! 😂 Its so crazy to think that August has started and Summer is almost or seriously close to ending!! #SadDay!! Its all hood in the good though! I can't enjoy the water or anything or spend summer like all of you so to be honest I am really glad that summer is ending! The only thing summer has been good for is getting me more Tan! By that I mean my arms and my head! With the white shirt and tie that is all that shows! Or is even exposed to the sun!! Its whatever though!! I may have a funky tan line when I get home but I will not care!! 😂 Anyways on to the business of this week was soooooooo awesome!! We started it out really really good!! Starting with Monday we did the normal P-Day stuff but Elder Yankey and I decided to cut our P-Day short by 3 hours! Crazy I know like what are we thinking by doing this unrighteous act!! Well to explain ourselves we cut it short because Vance and Jerry (2 of our investigators in Davenport) wanted to play Basketball! The only day they could do it though was on Tuesday! We all know the rules that we could only do that kind of stuff on P-Days so we got permission from good ole President he gave us the ok to have an extra 3 hours on Tuesday to have P-Day!! Awesome!!! We drove up to Davenport on Tuesday to play it was a ton of fun!! It was so funny too! Vance and I were on the same team, Jerry and Elder Yankey were on the other team! Elder Yankey to be honest out hustled me to everything! He was going 110% on this first game!! It was good though by games 2 and 3 he was totally gassed out and I just wrecked him it was hilarious!! 😂 Anyways after playing ball for about an hour Jerry headed home and we were planning to head to Spokane to go grab something for Elder Yankey's sister! Things didn't work out that way we ended up having a 2 hour lesson with Vance talking about the Plan of Salvation!! #AWESOME!!! It was probably the deepest Plan of Salvation I have ever taught!! Doctrinally wise! We went way in depth about everything and we talked about some other really deep topics that we usually shouldn't talk about with Investigators. He was asking the questions though so we had to answer them!! To be honest I wasn't qualified to teach that lesson!! 😂 Luckily Elder Yankey has done some research and he knows answers to a lot of his questions!! I was learning just as much as Vance was!! It was funny!! Then he asked Elder Yankey if he has grown up in the church.. He responds with "Yeah I have" then Vance goes on to say that he can tell that he has grown up in it... WHAT?!?!? Hey Mr. Vance I have grown up in it too!!! 😂 I thought it was pretty funny and it ended up being the deciding factor that Elder Yankey knows a lot so thats why he assumed!! 😂 It was still really funny and a really good lesson!! The spirit was there and it was super clear he understood it really well so that is really good!! Then another thing that happened this week that was pretty cool is we were working in Davenport and we have this LA lady that lives in a small town that we cover. She has 9 unbaptized kids!! We go over there to talk to them and all they want to do is play Basketball with us! We used that to our advantage this time! We taught them the Gospel of Jesus Christ using Basketball!! Suckers we tricked ya into learning this time!! 😂 The lesson was you know those halftime shows where they give the participant a certain amount of money if they just make a layup, free throw, 3-point, and a halfcourt shot?? Well that is what we did for our lesson! We did just that in talking about the 5 points of the Gospel (Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and Enduring to the End) it was that the farther you go into the Gospel the harder it can get sometimes. Or no matter where you are at in the Gospel that could be your "Hardest Shot" so to speak! We had some of the kids just drain jump shots all day, but when it comes to the layup sometimes they hit it too hard or too soft and miss it! Sometimes the Gospel is easy sometimes its not but as long as we continue to try (because thats all God asks us to do is actually try) then we will be good!! They understood it well and they all want to come to church with us on Sunday!! WOOT WOOT #Miracle!! It was so awesome!! The blessing and miracles we can for sure see coming!! 😂 Another cool thing that we are pumped about is we are taking the Fannin's to the Temple on Wednesday for their first Baptisms for the Dead!! We are so pumped about that and I will update you about that next week!! This week was just awesome!! We are so looking to end this Transfer (since its the last week) strong!! We are going to work our butts off this week!! We are showing the Lord we are hungry and he will feed us!! 😂 I love you all so much!! Thanks for the prayers and the support you are all amazing!!! Coming up next in Logan's time in Spokane.... Am I staying or leaving? Who knows tune in next week to find out for yourself!! 😂 Love you all so much!! Talk to you next week!!!!
Love,
ELDER LOGAN SCOTT :)
