OKC - week 21 Trust in the Lord with all you've got!

Hey ya'll,

Something I learned this week is that we have to trust in the Lord with all we've got! 

We got T-Doc (transfer calls) this morning!! So I am leaving to go to Noble, OK!! My Companion is going to be Sister Kresge!! She came out with me and I am so excited! I am a little torn, to be completely honest, because I have grown to love this area so so much, and the members here in the OKC 7th ward. But I know that this is what the Lord has in store, and I also know that this is inspiration given to our mission president. 

The craziest thing though is that Sister Burley is staying and she is getting 2 other sisters, they are still keeping this Ward, but they are taking our neighboring area OKC 1st. They will combine, making them the OKC 17th Area!!! Our mouths both hit the floor when our Zone Leader announced this!! AHHH this is literally the craziest change!! In the next 2 days we have to pack, clean, and completly pack up our apartment because this one is closing! We are gonna be so busy! This is going to be fun!! But the most comforting part about it is that it is what this area needs the most! The Lord truly knows!!

So on a more, I guess adventurous note. We had Tornado Warnings all last Saturday!!!  We were in contact with our emergency member for the first part of the night! It was insane!! The temperature went from 70 to 40 degrees in very short amount of time! I guess that's a sign of Tornado weather. It was pouring BUCKETS of rain, and the wind was going crazy! The lightning strikes were every 20-30 seconds for an hour straight. I think this was the craziest storm I have ever been in! And I think this is bad, but I haven't experienced the hail and tornados.  That has yet to come;) hopefully no time soon. 
The Main theme for the week has definitely been centered around this scripture in Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding". The Lord has a plan for each of us, whether that be on a mission, or in our daily lives. He knows best, and if we will trust in him, he will guide us on the path. Our destination will be so amazing! 

Weekly challenge. Find a Scripture that motivates you to change something in your life and draw closer to Christ. Put this scripture wherever you want so you can remember it and see it all the times. Then write in your journal a before and after entry of how you felt before, and then after, how you changed in the week of focusing on that scripture. I promise you will see the Lords' hand strengthen you so much! I am going to take Proverbs 3:5 and put it all over my new appartment:) 

I love you so much!!! Have a really great week!!

Love, Sister Walker
