Hey Y'all!!!!!
 |
| We look on the weather app in the morning to see what we would be walking in... Sunny with 1% chance of rain:D 5 mins later the weather changes its mind |
Our Week started out pretty fun!! We went to see Whitney and she wasn't home, but the spirit prompted us strongly that we shouldn't leave. We actually got pretty worried for her and was trying to get a hold of her. After about 20 mins at her trailer she comes around the corner with her neighbor, Phyllis. We start talking and she invites us to sit on her porch where we see a few beer cans. Then we realize Phyllis had been drinking, and Whitney might've had a few, but she didn't pick up her can when we got there. I think this is why we needed to stay. She used to be a heavy drinker but went through AA and stopped. Well, Phyllis then proceeded to ask us a bunch of questions about literally all the gospel topics that make us different from other faiths. She didn't bash us, but they were great questions! Faith and works came up, and she said, "I just need to believe and God will still love me even when I drink." We opened up James 2:17-26. We explained that yes He still loves us but he wants us to make an effort to follow him. Also Faith without works is dead in that Scripture. We don't have to work our way into heaven, but the Lord has asked us to Follow his commandments. If we truly love Him we will strive to do just this. Well, She just kind of stopped talking and then changed the subject. The point of this is that we are so grateful we have been pushed to know the bible especially out here. It ended really great, and she said we could come back sometime and talk some more. The Spirit was pretty strong, and Whitney was listening to the whole thing. She even left to go get her Book of Mormon to read with us! We are excited to teach her more!

| Can you tell how much we love the rain! |
Well the night didn't end right there either...Phyllis offered to take us home...uh we're ok haha
but about 2 seconds after leaving Whitney, Sister O's bike tire popped! This is the second time. It was pretty dark and getting close to curfew so we walked the mile pretty quick. Pawhuska is pretty sketch late at night, but it helps when you sing "Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel," and have 3 bright lights on guiding the way, including the Spirit:) We got home safe and sound.

| We love the rain! Sister Ostergar & Walker walking to Patriz's home |
 |
| Breakfast with Patriz! She is from Columbia and makes Bomb empanadas!! |
 |
| Sister O was in love |
The next morning we went to have breakfast with a member. Her Name is Patrizzzz and she is hilarious!! She is from Columbia, and tells the best stories! She made us Empanadas for breakfast, and kept making them and making them, and after 5 I thought she was done, but nope! And did she eat, no she fed us and watched us the whole time
Because we had no bike we walked everywhere that day. It was the best walking in the rain too! Its really misty here, and you get drenched, but we loved it! Better than the heat :D
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
We taught the Plan of Salvation to a family this week, and they loved it! The 2 boys were pretty interested. We asked them why they loved their family, and the older one pointed to his little brother and said, "This is why." He's the best:) Cutest moment ever! They loved the plan and can't wait to come back and teach them more!!
We continued to have tires pop, even in the process of the guy at the bike shop fixing one! Hopefully we can get her new bike soon:)

| Chalked the Plan of Salvation with Brea & Michele |
Also Shout out to Sister Lewis!!! Her Birthday was Saturday!!
I just want to testify of how much I know we have a prophet on the Earth today, President Russel M. Nelson. We had a lesson on Neil L. Anderson's talk, "The Prophet of God" in Relief Society. It reconfirmed to me that he is called of God to lead and guide His church. I am grateful we have this watchman on the tower so we are kept protected and safe in this crazy world.
Your Challenge this week is to study why its important to have works with our faith. Why we need to do anything to spiritually survive. I challenge you to make changes in your life as you strive to follow the Savior. Let me know what you study and find.
I hope you all have such a great week!! LOVE YOU!!
Sister Walker
