Week 68 - I Love This Little Place!!!

Hey Y'all!!

All y'll need is a truck, missionaries,
a fishn' pole and Oklahoma!
So this past Monday our district found our inner OKLAHOMA and went fishing! Everyone here fishes, and we even teach this family who owns a bait shop in their front yard. That's also very OK. A few things I have learned while being in Pawhuska specifically...
  • -yard sales are a 24 hours 7 days a week thing  
  • goats are a normal pet for everyone to have roaming in their front yard
  •  "there are more Dogs than teeth in Oklahoma" President Mansell 
  • everyone is related to everyone. Sounds like the Walkers๐Ÿค—
  • there are no such things as secrets 
I LOVE THIS LITTLE PLACE!!

We are doing the stop smoking workshop with Mary and Whitney right now!! Both of them have 2 days left!  and we are so proud of how far they have come!!  Also Whitney is so close to baptism! Just pray we can get her to church, and that she can avoid being sick next week๐Ÿ™ƒ 

Bartlesville, OK P-day
Marelyn Is Back Y'all!!! she just needed some questions answered and some Bold love๐Ÿ˜‹I am so proud of Sister O, 1. for taking over the area, and 2. for testifying with boldness and so much love the other day! She is AMAZING!!!

On Wednesday we spent the Day in Edmond for Greenie Grad. If no one knows what this is, let me tell ya.  For the first 2 transfers of your mission you are a greenie in training, at the end of the 12 weeks you get to graduate! President Mansell gives a training, and then each greenie gets to roll play each of the 3 lessons including another one thrown in there.  Talk about nerve racking!  But Sister O killed it!!  She is an amazing teacher!!

Thursday and Friday we had exchanges with our Bartlesville sistas. I love them so much! I learned so much from Sister Russel as she testified with so much power to Mike. Mike even told us the next day that he wants to be Baptized!!!!!!! We are so excited for him!! The Spirit can do wonders I'm not even kidding๐Ÿ˜†

So I got this text this past Friday..."Sister Walker, Larry King from Noble wants you to call him. He is in Provo, Utah and is getting baptized tomorrow."

GREENIE GRAD!!!
Me, "OH MY GOSH!!!!!!" I can't even believe it! 6 months ago we were sad to see Larry leave Noble, and we just had in our prayers that missionaries would find him in Utah. Well he is baptized folks, and Sister Jenkins, Kresge and I are so so so happy!!!  I realized that you never ever forsake a prompting. If Sister Kresge and I didn't listen to the Spirit telling us to try him again, there would be a completely different story here. 

Your Challenge this week and everyday for the rest of your life:) is to pay close attention to the promptings you receive. If its good it is of the spirit. The spirit will never give you thoughts of doubt or negativity. Moroni 7: 13-14 .  

Also,  go check out the new Book SAINTS the church came out with! and watch the devotional Elder Cook had with the Young Adults. It is worth it!

I hope y'all have a great week and see lots of miracles!!:) 

Love, Sister Walker



Nicky and Gracie

SISTER KRESGE!!!
I miss and love her so much!

My favorite little Otdaza:)

We normally don't go fishing
 this much....promise;)
Love my comp so much!



Such a small world! A lady ran outside of the
Mercantile and said, "hey sisters." Then we established
both of us being from Boise and that I was a Walker.
She knows Grandma & Grandpa Walker.  I looked in the window
and their husbands were decked out in BSU gear.
They went to the game in Stillwater.

Thanks Donna Palmer for taking the time to talk
with the Sisters and text grandpa pictures!
