This week was long, but in a good way. We accomplished so much.
On Monday we went to tour the Marland Mansion, basically the man who settled Ponca City, had this huge house, and a weird crazy story so we took a tour of his house. It was way cool. I'll send pictures.

That night we didn't really know who to visit so I said, "We could see Sister W" (who is literally my favorite) We were just going to check up on her and to see how she was doing and share a quick message and then leave, We arrived at her house, started talking and then Sister Rees asked about church, and she gave a huge sigh. She then began to cry, and opened up so much. She told us all about how she doesn't feel worthy to go to church, and how everything is so much harder than it used to be, then one thing after another and I was at a loss for words. I am a 19 year old girl. I haven't gone through anything really hard in my life, and I had no idea what to say. But Heavenly Father helped me so much. He brought to my mind a time at the beginning of my mission when I just couldn't do it anymore. I wanted to come home, and I just didn't feel like I was good enough, or smart enough, or even strong enough to do this whole mission thing. I told her how I cried, and cried, and cried to Heavenly Father, just asking for comfort and help because there was no way I could do this on my own and within seconds I wasn't crying anymore. I was able to fall asleep, and I woke up the next day and kept going. I tried a little harder, and prayed a little longer throughout the day.
As I shared this with her she began crying, and she shared how she just wanted to get back to the temple, so we set a goal, that we would be able to help her get there, but she would have to come to church, read her scriptures, and pray. she agreed, and gave us a hug. And when she hugged me I have never felt more needed or loved on my mission it was an amazing experience.
This week I was kinda stressing a lot about taking over the area thing. (She has a new companion and her old companion was transferred to another city) I knew like 5 people here and when we had seen those five people I had no idea what I was supposed to do next. So we planned, and planned, and then planned some more. We were able to only see a few investigators, but so many less active members of the ward. Gosh I am really loving Missionary work and I love Ponca City, and I don't want to leave ever. But I am a missionary and we get moved all the time so hopefully I get to stay for another transfer.
I love you all. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO YOU DAD! I love you long time
LOVE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH thanks for everything!
Love
