Crazy, Amazing things are happening here in Pawhuska!!!!!
First of all, our new investigator Marilyn is doing amazing!!!! We went to visit her the other day and teach her about the Restoration of the church. We talked about the importance of proper authority, and how the Prophet, Russel M. Nelson holds that, as well as many other worthy men in the church. She loved that the priesthood is God's power, and that it is here on the earth today! That was quite the exciting lesson! Just wish us luck cause she is a visual person, and she wants us to explain where the authority and line came from in the priesthood! We are making a chart
We love this Sister so much!!

Sister Sampson is about to hit her 18 months, and she has been getting ready for normal life again. She has to do college applications, so we've been at the church a few times a week applying and getting ready. She is going to be an amazing influence to her family. They are going to change because of her sweet and pure heart. The power in her testimony is going to change just as many and more at home as it has on her mission! I love her!!
So, we have been doing the Addiction Recovery Program (ARP) every Thursday with our investigator. He is changing, and the dedication he has put into the program is unreal! he is so great! He is in our prayer right now because he has to go through a few court trials. Today is one of them. All will turn out good because he has the Lord on his side. He is an amazing son of God, and the plan God has for him is remarkable. Its truly amazing to see the Atonement work in many lives out here. We have the best front row seat to this, as Brad Wilcox would say:)

So this week we went to a Native Osage Ceremony with some new member in our branch. I called it a Powwow, and was corrected pretty quick...haha yeah this one was different. But oh my goodness it was so cool to see the traditional dances and hear the drums and singing. It is so fascinating!
And I even got to go dance!! Sister Sampson was so excited because she hasn't danced in a while, so she pulled me in with her! I sadly have no pictures because you can't take pictures at these ceremonies, but I promise you it was AWESOME!
We had stake conference this past Sunday, and the message was on "Lord I Would Follow Thee", and the Adult session was on Ministering. Each testimony and talk was powerful, and you could feel the spirit strong in the room. It was interesting because they kept bringing up President Nelson's Challenge for the Youth. They Challenged the whole stake to participate in this.
To review...
"Now, let me summarize by reviewing my five invitations for you to enlist in the Lord’s youth battalion to help gather Israel"
- Hold a seven-day fast from social media.
- Make a weekly sacrifice of time to the Lord for three weeks.
- Keep on the covenant path. If you are off, repent and get back on the path.
- Pray daily that all of God’s children might receive the blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Stand out. Be different. Be a light. Give to a friend one copy of the booklet For the Strength of Youth.
So this is your challenge, if you haven't already participated in this call from our Prophet, then participate in the Prophet's challenge to the youth. This will not only help hasten the Lord's work upon the earth, but help you come even closer to the Savior than you already are.
For those of you who don't understand what staying on the "Covenant Path" is I know that there are some incredible missionaries in your area that can explain this
These things can apply to anyone, and my companion and I will be doing the same thing this week!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
Have such a great week!!!!
Love, Sister Walker
