Missionary Conference

. Vancouver Washington

 

During the May Zone Conferences missionaries learned about lots of different finding lines as well as many other valuable things. We love all our missionaries and are thankful for all they do.

This is from the past week. May 15th. Elder Scheele was transferred to Vancouver Washington. He's in a really nice rizty area and he's loving it. They actually get feed in this area and they get to even take home leftovers. They're still spending most of their time tracking but they're teaching someone in Nigeria over the internet. He seems to like his new campanion who is really smart and from New Mexico. So, far time is going by fast for Logan and he seems to like to hide in the back of all of his group pictures.

Spring time is almost there!

 

 Elder Logan Scheele

Logan's apartment complex, so far the nicest apartment in his mission. He's currently in the Centralia Washington, in the Scatter Creek Ward. They're currently working on tracking, this area hasn't had any missionaries in a long time, they have been tracking the whole area for the past couple of weeks.

His current companion is Gabe Westover and he's from Ozark, MO which is about two hours away from us in Arkansas. 

 

 Well hi I guess. I was just reading carsons email and I was dieing for a fat minute when he said he was on bikes now. Anyway I've got to stop laughing about that or I'm going to be biking my area soon. And I don't want to bike 50 miles a day soo.

But to get on with everything I just got transferred into a new area a couple weeks ago. So now I'm in a large rural area this transfer, and my mission president wanted us to hit up the outskirts of our area. It's been slow just tracting everywhere since we also opened up a new area so we have nothing In our area book. Anyway aside from that. I've been getting headaches practically everyday for the past month or so, so I'm just banging my head on a wall at this point to make then go away soo. Hopefully it's nothing too serious but you never know. But oh the price of fast food here is expensive I don't know what caused it but anything now costs like 10 bucks minimum here so that's been gutrenching. I do like me some fast food. but it's not like I have any places to eat out here in Scatter creek. : Uhh let's see what else has happened it's been 77 days so far and there is 654 days left. But hey 10.5335157312% done :> it's going by super fast and then some days soooo flipin slooow. Oh and word of advice aperantly not having a counter helps aperantly. Go figure. But I'm In a brand new apartment this transfer it's not even on Google maps yet. Aperantly the last apartment for this area had water damage, and believe it or not a meth lab explosion that burned part of it down. Then as a chery on top the car I got for this transfer was just recoverd after being stolen and then recovered in Portland missing a few windows some body damage oh and of course you can't forget the drugs that were in it too. So when I went to pick it up it was immaculate. Oh and it's a 2021 Chevy equinox. Also known as the worst most gutless blindspot inducing car ever known to man. So in other words I miss my car. Oh and the tiwi! Oh that is the worst invention known to man. It yells at you if you go 7 over and there are some roads that don't have speed limit signs, but aperantly the tiwi does so guess who gets to go like 20 when traffic is going 40? But it is a rather good experience. It's great when you have friends who are progressing and then you get ripped out of the area and have no friends nothing nada. I haven't had a lesson in 2 weeks, but hey it is what it is. I just know that it's been a great learning experience going from Raman noodles and cheese between two tortious as food to spaghetti is quite a nice change. Cough first two weeks. Elder Scheele

 ELDER LOGAN J. SCHEELE

Vancouver WA

Jan. 2023

After leaving the MTC, Logan ran into Elder. Uchtdorf at the airport on his way to Washington State. He came up to Logan and pronounced his last name correctly. Logan was super excited. He even put his hand on his shoulder and took a picture with him.

Elder Logan Scheele's first area was Longview WA. He was in a for a big culture shocked. Lots of rain, lots of homeless people, and this town has a big paper mill and it smelled really bad. This was his first area. He was with a group of three missionaries. They were in a tiny studio apartment with a total of 5 missionaries. He had to learn how to cook as well. They didn't get feed that much in Longview. 

His very first zone conference in Longview WA.

Logan was part of MTC experiment group. He got to go to the Temple, every other day. He went for a total of 8 times. He called the MTC his "Mini Prison". He was happy to leave.

This is Arkansas Street. It's also the worst area in his mission. He's really missing NW Arkansas. He's slowly getting adjusted to the nonstop rain in Washington State.

Now, Logan is moving on. He's going to his second area. He's being transferred to Scatter Creek Washington. He's moving on Wed. He can't wait to go. His next area is much smaller area and no stinky paper mill.
