Elder Scott Takes on Spokane: Spokane, WA -5-Mile Prarie Ward- Week #101

I'm all Hey whats up hello People!!!

Man what a week it has been for sure!! I'm not gonna lie it was a pretty hard week. We were for sure tried and tested this week and it was a toughy!! BUT! We survived!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!!! I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me!! Philippians 4:13 if anyone was wondering! 😂 Nah for real though it was a miracle that we lived! I am grateful! For these hard weeks it shows that you are still learning and growing and God is still stretching you to become better! For that I am thankful and I am looking forward to a much better week this week! 😊 Anyways I had some pretty cool stories from this week! We had our Zone Conference and boy was it good!! It was President and Sister Dymocks last one!! So crazy!! To add on it was also my last one as well!! What the joke?!!? Who knew this day would come!! "Not I" Said Elder Scott. It was pretty crazy though, at your last Zone Conference they have you go up and give your departing testimony. I remember my whole Mission people doing that, and I always thought that one day I will be up there! Then the thought comes into my head and its like "No you won't you are never going home!" 😂 I agreed with that one but I finally did it on Thursday and it was probably the most weird thing ever!! I never thought I would be up there giving it! I did though and it was awesome!! Such a cool experience to give the "Younger Generation" as ancient Missionaries like me would say,😂 some departing words! It was so awesome!! President and Sister Dymock did it as well and it has been such a blessing to serve around them for my whole Mission!! Even though I will get a new Mission President for 2 weeks it will be cool to see the beginning stages of the transition! The Dymocks are for sure what I needed in my life they have left a profound impact on it and I will have a special place in my heart for them! Its going to be sad to see them go, because they go home on Saturday, but at the same time I go home 2 weeks after them! We will be staying in touch! Anyways that was Zone Conference and it was awesome!! We had a funny or I think it was a pretty cool conversation with a member this week! This was with the Ryan family and something that a lot of people probably know around here, or maybe if you are really into Hockey, Brother Ryan is a Professional Hockey player! He plays in the NHL, which is so crazy! He plays for the Carolina Hurricanes! Which I guess is not that good from what he says! 😂 He is the first Professional Athlete that I have known personally!! Well besides Coach Dyson of course.. Anyways we were having dinner at the Ryan's and I asked him how the season went, because I was here last Summer before he left back East for the season! He gave us all a signed hat! SO COOL! Anyways he said the season was good for him personally and ok for the team. He mentioned that he was going to be a Free Agent this Summer! We were talking about where he wanted to sign and who was going to sign him and all that kind of talk! I thought it was the weirdest but coolest thing EVER!! First off I never thought in my life I would be talking Free Agency with anyone let alone the Athlete that is going to be deciding!! I thought it was the coolest thing ever!! I have gotten a signed hat and a signed puck since I have been here so the Memorabilia is being collected! If you want you can google Derek Ryan, and just know I know him personally!! Missions are soo cool cause you get to meet some pretty awesome people!! 😂 Anyways not a whole lot else happened this week! A lot of our lessons fell through and a lot of people flaked out. What else could you expect from a Mission right?? 😂 Man I'm excited to move on but I am also so sad to leave all of this behind... Its crazy that July starts this week... That freaks me out but I still got some time left and a lot left in the tank! Time to work til I drop! Miracles are coming this week I know it!! Well that is all I got for this week!! Know I am loving my Mission and still loving life!! Talk to you all next week!! Remember the book is true, and the Church could be blue I guess, its the signs of the times, always pet the dog, DBD, Love one another as Jesus Loves you, Wear sunscreen, stay in school, and eat your vegetables! LOVE YOUUUUUUU!!!

Love,

ELDER LOGAN SCOTT :)
