Hey whats up hello everyone!!!
Well to start out we got our Transfer Calls today! Its official for my Last Transfer I will be staying in Five Mile Prairie for a 6th Transfer!! Ahhh That is a total of 9 Month people!! 😂 Let me tell you though its been too good of a time to be real! These people have become more my Family than people I am serving!! I have truly come to love this Ward so so much!! I am so excited to spend my last 6 weeks of this Mission with them!! What a blessing I tell you!! WooHoo!! 😂 My new and final companion will be Elder Heaton. I have served around him here and there but he is a pretty cool cat and he will be the one to send me home on this Mission! That brings my companion count up to 22 now if anyone was wondering! 😂 Its been a wild ride let me tell you! I am excited to see what these next and final 6 weeks hold! Gotta make it count! Stay tuned Miracles and more Miracles to come!! 😂 This week was so so awesome!! Memorial Day was awesome!! It was on P-Day which made it so much better!! On that day I learned that I am so out of shape!! LAME!! We played Ultimate Frisbee at this BBQ we went to, and oh boy I totally gassed out!! First signs of me wanting to get back in shape!! Then later that night for FHE for the YSA we went to another BBQ! It was like a pool party but they had other fun games to play! It was so much fun!! We were playing Lightning with a lot of members there! It was so much fun!! I made it to the Final 3 like everytime but that is where I would Gas out as well! I NEED more stamina but I didn't have it in me! I would push through it but man I need to get back into shape!! Starting now!! Running sucks people!! 😂 Needless to say Memorial Day was awesome!! I am so glad I will not be out here for another one! Thank the Heavens! 😂 Tuesday was AWESOME!! We did something really historic!! We drove up North.. Like way way north! We got to the Canada border!! WooHoo!! That has been the closest I have ever been to Canada!! Don't worry we didn't go up there just for kicks and giggles. We had a purpose of going up there we had a goal to get the Stake above us more involved in the YSA cause that age group has been a big concern in the Stake Presidency! We drove up there to see what ideas we could come up with!! As a bonus I got to see Brother Fitzsimmons my Old Ward Mission Leader in Colville! It was good to see him and talk with him again! Good thing that he is one of the YSA Reps up there! Things were so so good! We also wanted to go see a Less Active Melchezidek Priesthood holder that Bishop wanted us to go see! Come to find out when we drove ALL the way out there HE WASN'T LIVING THERE!!!! DARN YOU!!! Its all good though the trip did not go in vain! It was all worth it! 😂 Going to Canada was one of those things that we thought while we are up here we might as well go! So we did! It was all worth it!! 😂 I am so glad I am not serving up there.. Its way too boonie for me!! It was still super duper fun!! Would highly recommend it! We had another cool experience this week while we were walking home one day, we were walking past the bus stop and we saw this kid sitting there waiting for the bus, Duh what else do you do at the bus stop!!!! Anyways we start talking to this kid, his name is Bryce BTW, we teach him almost the whole Restoration and my goodness this man is made of PURE GOLD!! We set up a lesson for the next day downtown! Come to find out he doesn't live in our area!! DANGIT!! He lives in the neighboring YSA south of us! We go to this lesson and pass this guy off to them. Really solid lesson and we put him on date for July 28th!! Heck freaking yes!! I am ok to further the work of Salvation! If one Baptizes we all baptize!! What a time to be alive!! We did a lot of service for people which is always my favorite things to do!! One crazy dumb experience we had this week was we had a lesson with one of our investigators named Cliff. We start talking to Cliff and what not and then his neighbor comes on over. His neighbor wasn't very nice to us... It started out as a good conversation I guess, but then it turns into him personally attacking our beliefs!! Making us feel dumb and totally degrading us!! It was so messed up and the spirit totally left! It hasn't been the first time I have been personally attacked for my beliefs but it always sucks!! I never like it! It helped me realize that we are out here spreading whats good and what God wants us to tell the world working really hard to get it out there, but at the same time there is an opposing team. Satan is working just as hard to lead the people away and to drag him down to be just as miserable as he is! One of my favorite scriptures is Helaman 5:12 and it talks about this same kind of thing, it says that when the devil shall send for his mighty winds, when his hail and mighty storms shall beat upon you! It will have no power over us to drag us down to the gulf misery and endless woe, which is exactly where Satan is and he wants us there with him! Then it finishes with but it is upon the rock (Which meaning Jesus Christ) which we are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they CANNOT FALL!! I love that scripture and that promise! It has always helped me when things like that happen!! Just know Satan works just as hard as we do!! Don't get discouraged when things don't happen right away! Well that is the quick wisdom of Elder Scott!! Things are happening I am loving life and loving my Mission!! #6weeksleftthough I love you all so so much thanks for the constant support and for the further support you all will give me for the next 6ish weeks!! I love you all talk to you next week!! Remember the Church is true, the book is freaking blue gosh dangit!! DBD, Remember who you are and what you stand for, Make right choices, Don't talk to strangers, but make new friends!! Peace see you in 2!!
Love,
ELDER LOGAN SCOTT :)
