Coeur D'Alene, ID- Week #83



Hey Everyone!!! I want to start off with WOW!! Just Wow what a week this has been! There has been so much that has happened, so much to talk about and very limited focus and length on this letter so I'll get right into it and say everything that has happened! ðŸ˜‚ There is a lot and its amazing!! To start off we found 5 New Investigators this week!! We have been at the right place at the right time and God placed really solid people in our path! Its been great! When I got to this area (Last week) we only had 2 On Dates... Never thought I would EVER be say ONLY 2 On Dates.. Miracles I tell you, ðŸ˜‚ anyways we had 2 On Dates and now we have a total of 5 people On Date for Baptism!! ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!! ðŸ˜‚ This is truly the Lords work and he will pull through! I can't believe it! Its a true testimony builder to me to see this all happening. My whole Mission I have told my companions, Districts and Zones that I've served in that if God really wanted to change the work in this part of the vinyard he will in a blink of an eye. Its all his work and he will not let the work die and let people slip through the cracks, I truly have seen it that God just decides to flip areas. I look at Five Mile and it took me 6 Months to get some solid investigators and some people On Date to be baptized, and now here in Coeur d'Alene I've been here for about a week and we just found 5 Investigators and 5 people On Date to be baptized!! ðŸ˜‚ Its so cool to see this happening right in front of me! I am truly blessed!! I want to talk about a few of our New Investigators that we found. Starting with Jay. Jay is a really cool guy and he lives one floor above us in the apartment complex! We were getting dropped off at our apartment after District Meeting and he was taking out his Garbage... #GarbagefindsInvestigators!! ðŸ˜‚ Anyways he turns around and asks us for some of our pictures of Jesus. (Red Robe Jesus if you all were wondering.. ðŸ˜‚) We tell him of course we can so we go to our apartment get our pictures and we decide to take him a Book of Mormon while we are at it, cause why not he needs the Gospel as well.. ðŸ˜‚ We go to his room to go drop off his pictures, We get talking and he is telling us that he is Catholic and that he has some Mormon friends, and that he goes to church 4 times a week. ðŸ˜‚ Anyways we get talking and he lets us inside his apartment, to make a long story short and after 2 hours we leave his house with him as a New Investigator and On Date for Baptism for April 21st! ðŸ˜‚ It was so weird the day that we found him was so weird, we felt like we were wasting a lot of time.. ðŸ˜‚ We went to this Old Folks home to see if we could start doing service there. They say yes and we need to do this oreintation thing before we could start volunteering. This process included getting fingerprinted and gettting another TB Shot.. I was not down for that at all. ðŸ˜‚ They also told us that we had to watch this video about HIPPA and the importance of keeping peoples privacy! ðŸ˜‚ Anyways before we started watching this video we figured we couldn't volunteer there anymore...and if we couldn't volunteer why stay for this video. Elder Mohler and I had the impression to stay for the video. We did just that, dispite my wanting of getting outside and moving on we stayed for this video. ðŸ˜‚ It ended up being a great video if anyone is wondering..😂 anyways we went home right after that and when we got home is when we ran into Jay! #AlwaysFollowSpiritualPromptings We realized that if we didn't stay for that video we wouldn't have run into Jay at that time. When we finished our lesson with Jay we looked at the time and realized that we were 30 Minutes late for another appointment with another Potential Investigator named Tammy... We end up bringing out the bikes to high tail to this lesson, because its like a 30 to 45 minute walk from our apartment...😂 We ride our bikes over there and we get there an hour after our appointment was supposed to start and knock on the door and Tammy tells us that she forgot about our appointment and that she had a friend over.. She tells us to hang on and ends up inviting us inside! Score!! ðŸ˜‚ #GodProvides We go in and meet her friend Cindy we teach them the  Restoration and we put Tammy On Date for baptism on May 26th (We technically put Cindy On Date as well but she doesn't seem too down right now.. She said yes but we are going to give her some time.. Luckily she lives in this same apartment complex as Tammy! ðŸ˜‚) From what we thought was wasting time turned out to be all apart of Gods plan. If we didn't stay for that video we wouldn't have met Jay, and if we didn't teach Jay which made us an hour late for Tammy's lesson, and if we weren't late for Tammy's lesson we wouldn't have met Cindy or even gotten in with Tammy for that matter. God works in mysterious ways thats for sure but he will never forget his children that he loves so much and he will provide a way for them. That is what I have come to learn since being here in the crazy resort town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho! ðŸ˜‚ Its been a crazy week chuck full of miracles and many more too come I'm sure! Thanks for following along and making it this far into this email!! I will get the hang of this whole email thing one day and it will be good! ðŸ˜‚ I love you all so much and remember that Miracles NEVER Cease! God works in Mysterious ways, Always pet the Dog, and the Church is true, the book is also blue. ðŸ˜‚ I'll talk to you all next week with more updates of my tales in the Mission field! Stay tuned! ðŸ˜‚ LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!
Love,
ELDER LOGAN SCOTT :)
