What a blessing it is to email you all today!! Woot Woot!! I love the fact that I get to email and its going to be a good one!! 😂 First off Happy Memorial Day!! For all of you that are still in school enjoy your day off! Unless you are like my brothers and you get Monday off and go to Graduation on Friday... This week of school will be a complete and utter JOKE!! 😂 Lucky dogs! I can't believe you guys are graduating this week!! You 2 shouldn't be that old!!! Ahhh whatever!! At least I was invited to the Graduation!! What a blessing indeed!! 😂 Anyways this week was pretty much a blur... I don't even remember what I did this week.. All I know is that P-Day was rough! We show up to email at the Family History Center and they are inside shampooing the carpets!! That meant we couldn't go in and use the computers.... We had to email on our phones which SUCKS!! 😂 I love that was an actual problem that we had to deal with here.. Wow 1st world Mission problems!! 😂 Oh I make myself laugh! Anyways then we got to go Mountain Biking somewhere in the woods! I took a lot of "Logan's Logs" but they take too long to upload so I apologize in advanced for those who are fans of my logs! 😂 That was actually really fun!! I'm no mountain biker so I scare myself a lot! Pinecones are dangerous things I tell you!! 😂 Moving along we taught a couple of really good lessons this week we brought some people to the knowledge of their iniquities and they have proceeded to repent!! Woohoo!! 😂 People are still being awesome.. a little flake here and there but that is to be expected with people these days! I still love the people of Spokane anyways!! Something that dawned on me during my studies this week that really got me thinking was the concept of Fear. I was studying in the Book of Mormon in the book of Helaman 7 to be exact! A little backstory first! I wanted to read the Book of Mormon one last time before I go home. I set a challenge for myself starting in January, I wanted to look for something in specific kind of what Elder Bednar has said in the past is to go through with a question or something specific to look for and you will find your answer. I took that challenge and the specific thing I wanted to look for was Attitudes. Becasue attitude is everything!! I am looking for the good attitudes people have and the blessings they receive for having a good attitude, and on the other hand looking for the bad attittudes and the punishments that come from those. Make sense? Get it? Got it? Awesome now you are all caught up! 😂 Studying in Helaman 7 this is where Nephi the Prophet was praying to God for strength and help with his people at this time cause they were being bad, and doing bad things left and right so he was super frustrated with them. Then all of a sudden all of these people come and see him and he basically starts rebuking them I guess cause they are just being a bunch of Punks!!! Anyways the guilty take the truth to be hard and they all get mad at Nephi and want to kill him and run him out of town basically! Then while the bad people want to throw him out little do they know that Nephi has some lowkey followers! They tell the bad people to leave him alone and that he is right and that they need to repent. Then these bad people see that Nephi has some lowkey followers that support what he says it says in verse 10 of chapter 8 to be exact that they did fear. I thought a lot about that. Because fear is always present when you are doing bad things or in bad situations!! I think of a couple more examples in the scriptures like when Alma the Younger and the Sons of Mosiah (It said that they were the vilest of sinners at that time seeking to destroy the church) then an angel came and appeared to them and basically told them whats up! It said they they were so astonished that they fell to the ground! I feel like a lot of that was fear! They weren't doing the best things and fear was in their hearts! I think of it now, My Mom before my Mission would audit my Phone, Which was awesome thank you so much for doing it Mom!! Love you!! 😂 I will be honest there were times that I was a little hesitant and scared to give my phone to her.. because it was a bad time and I wasn't doing the best things at that time... Compared to other times when I was doing good things and being good those times in my life I wasn't hesitant at all and not scared for my Mom to look through my phone! I would always say I got nothing to hide on there and I was perfectly ok for her to look through! 😂 Anyways I think about it and looking back in all of my markings for the good and bad attitudes in the Book of Mormon all the bad attitudes fear is usually connected with them. What I am trying to say is do good things! Don't be fearful! Don't give yourself a reason to fear what others will think of you, or more importantly what God thinks of you! If you are doing good things and being a good person you will have no reason to fear when someone asks you to give them your phone or when Jesus Christ our Savior comes again. Because we know he will come again! I know that to be true with everything in me. It was a pretty cool thing for me to learn! I am for sure going to live my life in a way that I am not going to do anything to have me fear what others might think or what God thinks of me! I think it would be a good way to live in my opinion! Do what you want though its your life! 😂 Well that is my little snippet of knowledge from yours truly! 😂 Well that was my week hopefully it was an entertaining one... It was a literal blur! I can already tell you be ready for next week cause man oh man is it gonna be good!! I love you all and Ayden and Jaret I will be at graduation in spirit! Love you doods!! I love all of you! Have a good Memorial day!! Remember our veterans!! DBD!!! Remember the Church is so freaking True!! The Book the last time I looked at it was blue!! Jesus honestly loves you all!! I love you all so so much!! Talk to you all next week!! LOVE YOUUUUUUU!!!!
Love, ELDER LOGAN SCOTT :)
