Sister Walker-- Serving Wherever the Oklahoma Wind Takes Her: Week 79

Hey Y'all!!

Cowboy Church round 2!!

Coolest thing happened this week! So remember John and how he helped me fix my bike and then agreed to meet with us the next week? Well the lesson was so cool!! Come to find out, he has met with missionaries before, and they never brought up the Book of Mormon! When we asked him if he would like to read another Testament of Jesus Christ, he got super excited! Especially when we told him it was about his Native American Ancestors. He said he would read this for sure! We can't wait to see what he thinks! Also, on that same street we met John. We were walking up to this door when a man in a truck pulled up and motioned us over. He told us it was not a good idea to knock this one because the lady had just lost her husband. He exclaimed she probably wasn't looking for faith right now. Well just to respect him we moved on, but two days later we knocked on the door

The spirit was telling us so strongly to go there and it got stronger after the guy told us not to. Well we met Anna Marie:) She invited us in and we talked for 2 hours!! She had a daughter that was a member of the church, and the daughter she is living with just lost her husband, and several other family members. We testified of the Plan of Salvation and the hope God has given us through this plan. She loved this and the company and invited us back anytime. Now that was a miracle! Also we are hoping to meet her daughter soon:)

We went on Exchanges this week with the Altus Sisters. I was so excited to be with Sister Cronin again! She is amazing and has grown so much from when we were in Bartlesville! Also, I found a long lost 7th cousin! Sister Pulsipher from St. George Utah! We both descend from Zera Pulsipher! Pretty cool to have two cousins on the mission with me!:) Oh and Especially when your 1st cousin is here too!! Love you Aubrey (Hermana Pulsipher)

Exchanges!!!

I love this time of the year! It is my absolute Favorite!! I Hope Y'all have been participating in the #LightTheWorld initiative this year! Sister Geddes and I have been having so much fun sharing this message with the people here in Anadarko. The message is life changing. Sister J, in District Council explained it like this: Week 1 starts out broad and as the weeks go by you focus In closer to your own testimony of the Savior. Each one, World, Community, family, and your own faith has one center focus. It's the Savior and his divine example to "Give as He Gave". I hope you implement this this Christmas Season. It can change your life and so many others

I loved the Christmas Presidency devotional that was given last night. If you haven't watched it yet, please watch it. It is so inspiring!

I loved Sister Ubanks talk about how Christ loves pure light. How can we bring the Light of Christ more into our lives this Christmas?

Then our Prophet's message about the 4 gifts Christ has given us, helped me evaluate my life and how much I use and appreciate these gifts. His solution to receive them is so simple but so important. To make and keep sacred covenants is the answer.

Your challenge this week is to watch the devotional if you haven't already done so, and consider the questions and invitations these leaders have given us. I know they are inspired from the Lord. https://www.lds.org/church/events/2018-first-presidencys-christmas-devotional?lang=eng

I Hope you have a great week! GO LIGHT THE WORLD!!
