Elder Scott Takes on Spokane: 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 :)
