Hello Family!
Once again, lots of ups and downs this week. I feel like I should get used to this stuff by now! But I guess there's some things I guess I'll never get used to on the mission. Just kind of like life!
The Valencia family was able to make it to church yesterday! They're a part member family that we've been meeting with for a while and they have kept telling us that they're always too busy to come to church on Sundays. But then they came! So it was really good to have them there. So we're really going to try to seem them a lot this week so that we can really start teaching them. Their kids are all baptized, but the parents aren't because they're not married! It's kind of a complicated situation. The mom isn't legally divorced from someone in Mexico. And so they can't get legally married here. It's pretty crazy. But they're super great and we're really excited for them.
We went on exchanges twice this week! Once with the Elders in the district and once with the Zone Leaders. Exchanges are great. I always learn so much just from being with another missionary. And our Zone Leaders are so amazing. I've been so blessed on my mission to have such inspired leaders to help me.

I can't believe it's already Thanksgiving this week! I feel like Halloween was just yesterday! And it feels like the 4th of July was just a few weeks ago!
Boy is it getting COLD. It hasn't gotten Omak cold yet. But it's getting there. Elder Freestone loaded up last Monday with a bunch of winter stuff so he's all good to go!
Well we're getting transfer calls this Saturday! Pretty insane. So we'll find out if we're going or staying. I've been here in the branch for four transfers. That's a pretty long time. But there's also a chance that I could be staying! So I really have no idea what's going to happen.
Something pretty cool just happened today. Before we got here to the library, we had to make a stop at the post office. And as we walked up to the doors, we noticed in the parking lot that there was a woman on the ground and two people trying to help her up. We ran over to see if she needed any help, but by the time we got over there she was on her feet, but she was in tears wincing in pain at her arm that she fell on. We asked her if there was anything we could do. She looked at us and she said, "Can you give me a blessing?" Then we realized that she was a member and that we have had dinner with her before! And we said, "Of course we can!" . So she sat down in her car seat and we gave her a blessing of healing. It made me so grateful that we were there to be able to be there for her in a time of need.

"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."
Love you all! Have a great week!
Elder Scott
