Spokane Valley- 5-mile Prairie Ward-Week #78

 Together again- Look at those smiles.  Elder Lundberg and Logan


Hey whats up hello Everyone!!! 


Man this week was a great week!! It was chuck full of miracles left and right! What an amazing blessing it has been to be a Missionary!! WOOT WOOT!! πŸ˜‚ Anyways to start out its the New Year! YESSSS!! That means there is no more excuses for people to not meet with us! πŸ˜‚ We are supposed to have so many new investigators this week and in the coming weeks if people will get back into the swing of things and meet up! We have so much potential its not even funny! We are so pumped!! πŸ˜Ž I had a visit this week from a ghost from the grave! Elder (Garrett) Lundberg found his way up here and he could not come up here without paying me a visit! He did we went out to lunch and it was a good time catching up and telling eachother what has gone on since we last saw eachother! It was a super fun we haven't skipped a beat thats for sure! πŸ˜‚ Anyways this week we have focused heavily on finding new people to teach! We need to strengthen our teaching pool and get some solid people to teach! Our people that we have now are pretty flakey and it is really hard to get some commitment and some progression out of these people! πŸ˜ Its all good now this is Gods work! He wants us to go out and find those people he has prepared for us!! Challenge Accepted! πŸ˜‚ Anyways needless to say we have done a lot of street contacting and tracting this week.. Our formers and potential sheets aren't doing too well so we are trying to make them better for the Missionaries that follow us! πŸ˜‚ The reason for my email title though we were walking and the things that we had planned weren't working out so we just decided to walk around. I had a feeling to go down this one road and we saw a guy walking his dog! Elder Speckhard and I have this system that goes down when we see a guy with a dog! He walks over to him and asks if he could pet his dog, while I go and talk this guys ear off about the Gospel or Jesus Christ whatever comes up in this conversation! πŸ˜‚ We do this and I talk to this guy his name is Devon and he starts out the conversation with "God Bless you" and shakes my hand and that was an easy segway into religion! WHAT WHAAAT! Turns out that this guy has never talked or even known who Missionaries are! Thats good we are the first he has ever met! We give this guy a crash course on the Restoration and the Book of Mormon! He loves this information! We ask him if there is a time we could come back and talk to him more about this. He asks "what time is it?" We say like 11:30 and he says back "How bout 2:30?" I respond with "TODAY?!?!" He says yes! WOW!! He wanted to learn more about it that same day cause he is just looking for the truth but doesn't know where to start looking! The lesson ended up falling through... something came up... Sad but we will be meeting with him soon! It was pretty cool that strengthened my testimony in that God prepares people for us to talk to! This guy was open and ready to listen! It was probably the coolest thing ever!! πŸ˜Š All of you Missionaries that are reading this email, ALWAYS PET THE DOG!!! We have found countless investigators from doing this! God works through Dogs!! πŸ˜‚ Our Ward Council laughed at us when we told them this. They laugh cause 1. They think we are joking and they think we are hilarious... πŸ˜‚ 2. They know that it will work when they try it! πŸ˜‚ Tracting has gone well I should say too. We have found some receptive people! Stay tuned on what happens with them! Ray and Rose are still doing good! Still on Date. Its getting harder to meet with them cause Rose just started this Schooling program that will last for the next 11 weeks! Pray for them and Pray for the other investigators I am working with! 5 Mile needs it!! πŸ˜‚ Well I wanted to end with the passing of President Thomas S. Monson. I was really hit with that announcement that he passed. I can tell with with everything in me and without any doubt I know that he was called by God to lead and guide us in these last days. He was there my whole life as an Apostle and as far back as I can remember as the Prophet. I really didn't get it when President Hinckley passed away. I feel like I get it now! I will miss President Monson he was truly one of my favorite people to listen to. He always said something that meant something in my life. I know that we will not skip a beat when President Nelson comes in, this is Gods church and it will not be different with a new Prophet as the Mouth Piece. God is still God and Jesus is still our Savior. They still are the head of this church! I know that he won't lead us astray.. Well that is my testimony and I know it to be true! That was my week though! Sorry I feel like I was everywhere! πŸ˜‚ Just know I love you all and I am so excited to see what Miracles happen this week!! Talk to you all later!! Don't be Dumb! Expect Miracles! LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!
Love, 
ELDER LOGAN SCOTT :)
