Spokane, WA -5-Mile Prarie Ward- Week #94

Logan's West Valley Zone that he will miss

Heeeelllllllllooooo Ladies and Gentleman of all types! 

What a crazy long week it has been!! Weeks fly by but sometimes they drag on for what feels like forever!! This week was one of those weeks that went on for freaking ever!! 😂 Well updates on this week! I was still in West Valley at the beginning of this week so that was pretty weird, getting our Transfer Calls of course no one believed my call so I had to prove them wrong! 😂 My last P-Day in Mt. Spokane was good, we went to a near by church building we played a lot of outdoor games. Could I tell you though the weather is freaking AMAZING!!! I love the warm weather that is coming what a blessing!! 😂 We also played some Football which was the first time in forever since I played some of that! 😂 I hear that my Utah Jazz made it through the 1st Round of the Playoffs!! Heck Yeah take that OKC your superteam can't stop us!! 😂 On to Houston though.. We can take them though... Another freaking superteam though!! 😂 Sorry for the tangent there for a second! Back to the week! Transferring back to 5 Mile has been the weirdest thing EVER!! Surprising the members has been the funniest thing!! They all don't believe that I am staying here as well! They think I am just on a long term exchange! 😂 Our Bishop just thinks that I am a ghost that haunts them and the Francis Building (Church Building we go to) Its been hilarious! A funny experience that happened just a few days ago. So when Elder Speckhard and I were here we turned the whole Young Men into a frenzy in what we called "Getting Got" which is you know is doing the dumb things like point to their chest and say they have something there and when they look down move your finger up and hit them in the nose, that one is a classic 😂 Then tapping on their left shoulder making them look to that side when in reality you are on the other side! Thats also a good one! 😂 Then finally our personal favorite is the doing this sign 👌below the waist, then when you look at it you get to hit them I guess.. I don't do it for the hit I do it for the reaction! That is my favorite part!  😂 Anyways fast forward to Saturday Night, the ward is having an Auction night to raise money for High Adventure and Girls Camp or whatever, Some of the Young Men are being the Auctioneers. They are doing the Auctions and doing their jobs then all of a sudden I hear one of them say from the stage! "Hey Elder Scott we wanted to see if you wanted to buy one of these." I was talking to someone else at this moment so I turn around to see what it is and come to my surprise all 3 of them are doing this thing 👌 beneath their waist!  😂 Then from the mic I hear "Get freaking Got! Welcome back though we sure did miss you!" It was the most touching and most humiliating thing I have felt in a while! 😂 I am treated just apart of the family here I love it so so much!! Something cool that happened when I came back there has been this family that I have been working with since I was here with Elder Holmgren. You might have heard me talk about them before but their names are Joe and Katie! They have been chillin out and just moving right along this whole time, not making too much progress though. Anyways we go to their house when I first get back and I show up and the first thing out of Katies mouth is "Hey still not going to your church but we can still be friends and hang out." Well I see how this transfer is going to be like this time around! We talk and catch up and whatever and then we leave, we get 3 blocks away and we get a call from Joe. He starts out the call by saying "Hey we will come to church with you guys." We were so super surprised considering what Katie just said a second ago! He continued by saying that they talked after  we left and they came to the conclusion that Missionaries don't come back to the same area, and no Missionary comes back 3 times for that matter, It is very rare! They said that I have consistently been working with them since August and I keep coming back and they have taken that as a sign that this is the path that God wants them to take!! WHAT?!?!? They didn't make it out to church sadly but we are still in contact with them more than ever now! More commitment has come from them and I have truly seen a change in them that I have never seen before! Being an Instrument in the Lords hands has always been confusing to me... Now I see that literally I have been made an instrument in the Lords hands! He has softened their hearts enough over the last 3 months so they can truly progress and come closer to him! Its been the greatest thing to see and the greatest change ever!! He truly is a God of Miracles and I have seen it countless times being out here!! It never gets old honestly!! 😂 Spokane has really grown on me I love it up here and I love the people just as much!! Welp thats been my week this week!! Hope you all have enjoyed this time around!! Talk to you all next week!! LOVE YOUUUUUUU!!!!!

Love, 

ELDER LOGAN SCOTT :)

Hey whats up hello Everyone!!! 

I have a few things to talk about first so lets get that over with real quick! 😂 First off to explain my Subject line, we got our Transfer Calls today and for some unknown reason I am going back to my old Area in Five Mile Prairie!!! 😂 For those of you who have been following my emails know that I have served in Five Mile a few times! 😂 This is how it has gone thus far, I left Ritzville to go to Five Mile originally in August of 2017, Then in November 2017 right after Thanksgiving I was ET'd to Saltese and Greenacres! Then in December 2017 I was sent back to Five Mile to spend Christmas and what not there, then in February 2018 I left Five Mile to go to Coeur d'Alene where I thought my time in Five Mile was finally done! NOPE!!! 😂 Come to today April 2018 and probably til the end of my Mission July 2018 will be my time in Five Mile!! Its honestly so freaking crazy!! I am so excited to go back and to work my butt off these last 3 Months.... 12 weeks actually if you want a specific time! 😂 My new companion will be Elder Bernecker! Funny thing he was actually the one that replaced me when I left the 2nd time!! 😂 Its going to be so much fun!! I don't know why I am going but Heavenly Father has a specific reason for me to go back there so its time to figure that out as well! I am excited for the challenge so bring it on!! 😂 Oh I am actually covering 2 wards this time as well! I am covering Shawnee YSA it as well!! #GoingbacktoYSAbaby!! Its about time I am going back to YSA!! Started with YSA and now I am ending with it!! This has honestly been the best Transfer call to get in a while!! I am so excited!! 😂 At the same time though I am pretty bummed to be leaving West Valley... We swept into this thing and improved it like no other! Things just started to pick up and we are truly seeing miracles come from our efforts!! Its a great ward and I learned so much being here!! Time to move on... or move back I guess.. I don't know what to call or think of it! 😂 This week was so awesome though!! We went Downtown for P-Day which was a lot of fun!! The Falls are so high right now its insane!!! Pretty cool to see!! Then we had interviews with President and Sister Dymock which was pretty awesome!! We worked out with Sister Dymock while the other was in the interview with President!! We talked a lot about the brain which was pretty cool! Dopeamine was talked about which took me to a whole other world that was not apart of the conversation! 😂 Where is Dopeamine produced!?!? The Nigra!! #ThanksforthatDad Super fun I always enjoy talking with President and Sister Dymock!! They are awesome!! Its too bad that they go home 2 weeks before me gosh dangit!! 😂 We were visited by Ghosts of Missionaries past in Elder Klunker and Elder Gibbs!! Pretty dang weird but life does continue after the Mission!! 😂 Another really cool thing that happened was we got invited to help the fire department to help people replace some fire alarms! We were kindly asked if we wanted to be on the news! You bet your bucket I want to be on the news!!! 😂 You can say that I am a big deal now! Catch me on Spokane News! 😂 Well really that was what has been going on with me! I really enjoy the Mission and its been the best 2 years EVER!!! I am so excited for all of you that are going on Missions!! You'll do so great!! Summer is coming and its making me so happy!! I love you all so much!! Talk to you next week in Five Mile!! LOVE YOUUUUUUUU!!!!

Love,

ELDER LOGAN SCOTT :)

Spokane, WA -West Valley Ward- Week #92

President Dymock heard where the twins were going before Logan....😂

What a week it has been!! We saw a ton of miracles and Gods hand was truly seen within the work! What a blessing!! 😂 Before I get there though I know my brothers got their Mission Calls! To be 100% honest I totally called one of them going to Texas!! I knew that and I am so sad that 1. I wasn't there and 2. I didn't put my guess in!! I would have won some money or something!! 😂 Texas and Tennessee are honestly getting the best!! Spanish Speaking even!! Thats so awesome!! I am so happy to hear that we will get a month to hang out and catch up for a month!! July 18-August 15 is gonna be so awesome!!  😂 Well I will be the only one on the West Coast.. Kennah went to Mississippi, and now the Twins going to Texas and Tennessee! Here I am chillin in Washington!! 😂 #WestCoastLife! God truly knows what is best for us and where he needs us! I know I was needed here in Spokane, Washington and I know you were called to where you are for a certain reason! He is mindful and I am so excited to see what awesome experiences you both will have!! 😂 Way to go Ayden and Jaret!! Love you doods!! 😂 

Anyways onto this week lots of things happened!! We were in the right place at the right time let me tell you gosh dangit!! 😂 I can see the blessings of planning now! 21 months into my Mission I finally see the blessings and the why we need to plan in the days! 😂 Something crazy that happened on Friday we wanted to see this one potential investigator we walk up to her house... or her trailer I should say, she has this "Beware of Dog" sign on her big fence. We thought that they were trying to be tough and to just scare people away, we went in being a little scared to be honest! 😂 We get to the door and knock, then all of a sudden around the corner we see these 2 huge dogs running at us full speed!! I literally almost pooped myself seeing this about to go down!! 😂 To our surprise these dogs slow down and start sniffing us and started to let us pet them!! Then the owner came out and she told us that she was surprised that her dogs didn't freaking maul us!! 😂 Apparently they have been known to protect the premises no matter what! People the owners have known have been bitten and attacked! She was surprised that 2 guys they didn't know left unscathed!! 😂 WE ARE DOG TAMERS I TELL YOU!!! We were literally the modern day Daniel in the Lions den!! The Lord shut the mouths of those lions and we were protected of the Lord!! 😂 We got a return appointment with her and she took a Book of Mormon!! It was soooo good!! 😂 Then  we went around and got return appointments for days next week!! Its going to be so awesome!! 😂 Missionary work is honestly the best and the most rewarding thing ever!! We also had Zone Conference this week and President has been known to drop doctrine at these things! 😂 He gave this training on Dimensions that I have heard about my entire Mission!! He gave it like 2 or so transfers before I came out! So I heard all about it this whole time! 😂 When he finally gave it it wasn't as cool as I heard... It was honestly the hype that killed it for me... He showed a video that had all sorts of grids and points, and coordinates!! It felt like I was in Math class all over again!! 😂 It was touching parts of my brain that haven't been touched in almost 2 and a half years!! Ah I am not excited for math let me tell you!! 😂 Other than that we are teaching like mad and we are hopefully going to get some people on date for baptism here in the next few weeks or days! 😂  We as a Zone set a goal of getting 20 Baptisms for the month of May!! I have faith sufficient for this to come to pass! 😂 It was a great faith filled week and hopefully it will get warmer here in the next few days!! You know what they say April showers bring May flowers! Whoever they are curse you for all this rain!! 😂 Thats all I got for an update this week!! Keep being awesome people!! I love you all so much!! Remember the church is true and the book is blue!! Don't be Dumb and I'll see you guys in 3 or so months!! LOVE YOUUUUUUUU!!! 

Love, 

ELDER LOGAN SCOTT :)

Spokane, WA -West Valley Ward- Week #91

Tracting and found themselves under an overpass

Heeellllllloooooooo!!

This week was a pretty good but it was pretty weird as well... I am so greatful that Spring Break is over!! We can just move on now and have a great rest of my Mission!! 😂 Anyways some crazy things happened this week! First off we got bashed by some lady yesterday! It was pretty funny cause she came out swingin! 😂 It didn't get anywhere but I thought it was pretty funny I guess! She wanted to argue so bad and we honestly just work here and she wanted to prove us wrong like no other! 😂 Its been a while since that has happened to me but you know its been good! All you can do is love those people, Getting mad and defensive wouldn't help anything! 😂 Well I can't remember what else happened this week it kind of just flew by so freaking fast! We are doing service at the community center again which is super fun to go back to! 😂 Oh and one crazy thing that happened this week was everything was falling through, our plans never go according to plan! WHY DO WE EVEN PLAN!?!? Anyways while we were trying to figure out what we were going to do we decided to start tracting! While we were tracting we were meeting some interesting people I guess! 😂 ANYWAYS! We tracted this one house and guess who answered the door? Zena Freaking McPhee!! What the joke!?!? How does that even happen!?! She moved forever ago but I had no clue where she moved to! She said the Valley but I didn't know where!! Then we tract into her!! Its truly inspired I think we are so tight and she was the only Subway girl that didn't get baptized while I was in Shiloh! God truly does put people in our path and he does prepare people in our area!! I know that there was a reason why I came to West Valley and Zena McPhee might really be that reason!! I love Missionary work and doing this! Its crazy that I got 3 Months left! 😂 I love you all so much!! Remember that the weeks go by so fast here, Also that Five Mile Prairie is the Promised Land! Also that the Church is True and the Book is blue!! I love you all so much!! Hopefully I will remember what I did next week!! Talk to you all next week!! LOVE YOUUUUUU!!!!

Love,

Spokane, WA -West Valley Ward- Week #90

Fair warning

HEY WHATS UP HELLO!!!

Well this week was awesome!! I really don't remember what happened this week cause it went by so freaking fast!! 😂 Plus Elder Horman was feeling a little under the weather so we didn't go as hard as we usually go! He is feeling a lot better already so we are about to hit the ground running again this week!! 😂 Its so weird we are already halfway through the Transfer!! It still feels like we just swept in yesterday!! In reality though its already been 3 weeks!! CRAZY!! Time flies when you are having fun!! 😂 For P-Day last week we went Mountain Biking! It was literally like my first time doing some legit mountain biking! I was freaking out! I almost died a few times going a little too fast and almost hitting some trees, and going over some cliffs! 😂 I have realized that I am not qualified to be doing this right now! 😂 I lived though and it was a lot of fun!! That was P-Day! We tried to see some people and find some people to teach! We taught this one lady this week her name is Beth she is basically a dry Mormon. She reads the Book of Mormon all the time, believes that Joseph Smith is a Prophet, and everything else that comes with that! We teach her the Restoration and she agrees with everything that we are teaching! What a blessing right?? Then we invite her to be baptized and she thinks that her Baptism way back in her youth was good and Valid. We told her that it needed to be done by the correct authority and with the permission of God which is the Priesthood. She started to understand but we are going to be working with her for the next little while! Pray for her she is so ready! 😊 We went to Ihop early in the morning one day. We got everything done so fast in the morning so we could go to Ihop! It was awesome!! It was the first time I have been since I have been on my Mission!! It was awesome good times in High School... 😂 Well not a whole lot happened the rest except General Conference!! It was so so crazy!! President Nelson is truly inspired and he is so close to the Lord!! He is changing things for the better!! No more Home and Visiting Teaching INSPIRED! 😂 One Melchizedek Priesthood Quorum INSPIRED! Thats going to be so good and so cool! A TEMPLE IN FREAKING LAYTON UTAH!?!?! INSPIRED!!!! I am so excited for that!! I have always joked about it to everyone or at least about the Temple in Syracuse Utah, Layton?? Thats close enough!! 😂 Ask and ye shall receive right?? I am so excited!! I have no excuse to not be in the Temple all the time now!! 😂 I love that its been truly inspired in my opinion! 😂 I can't get married now until that temple is done!! 😂 Well maybe... 😂 I loved General Conference that was my last one as a Missionary and it was such a good one to end my Missionary service with! I love that and its so weird that I will be home for the next conference!! AHHHHHH!! Well I love it! It was such a good weekend and one to not be forgotten!! If you missed it I am sorry you missed out! 😂 Well that is all I got for this week! Talk to you all next week!! Remember the Church is true and the book is blue! I love you all so much!! LOVE YOUUUUUUUU!!!! 

Love,

ELDER LOGAN SCOTT :)
