Another transfer in Poncadise

I am staying In Ponca CITY!!! but Sister Rees is going to OKC, to be a Sister Trainer Leader. I guess I am a pretty great companion, because Sister Washburn was also called as an STL right after she was with me. haha jokes I am blessed to have had them as my companions So lots of things have happened this week, but I want to stay on the spiritual side. I have had the biggest paradigm shift of my whole mission and I want to share it with you. We were in a lesson with an investigator and he asked how he could be a missionary. He said that if he could go around and talk about God all day he wouldn't do anything else. It really hit me, and we went home and I sat on the couch and stared at the wall and just thought. I thought about why I am out here, and why I didn't love being a missionary yet. I was almost frustrated with myself because I thought of how amazing my duty is right now. The next day we had District Meeting, which is just a missionary meeting we have every Friday morning, and Elder Dean lead the discussion. He talked about how to better receive revelation. We then went into the chapel and did Real Plays, and taught our companion as if they were an investigator and we taught them how to recognize the Holy Ghost. While I was teaching Sister Rees I was being chastised by the Spirit, and remembering all the things I had been doing wrong. I was always told by Dad, "If you ignore the spirit long enough, it'll go away" and it is so true. He is not going to waste your time or his time, if you aren't going to listen. I thought about how much I could have done before I came on my mission. I know how everyone says it is in the past, leave it in the past, but I truly believe if you don't learn from your mistakes, what is the point of the past? I was being shown what I want to do better when I get home. How I can be that better self that I want to be, and all I have to do is listen. I need to study, and learn, and listen. I thought of how much of my time was spent with my head in a screen, and with ear plugs in my ears. I was never listening to the right things. I was watching shows, and listening to music, but never to the Spirit. We all need to take more time in our lives to listen. Prayer can literally be a two way communication between God. Are your prayers like that? I know mine are not always like that because I am lazy and tired, and all the other lame excuses in the book. But if we talk with God, rather than at God, every prayer you say WILL be a spiritual experience. I know that this church is true. I wouldn't be in Oklahoma if it wasn't. I know that God is real, and that he knows each and every one of his children individually. I know that he loves me. It is amazing to me how the first commandment we are given is to love God and the first principle we teach is that God loves you. Elder Holland said it best in conference in April. "Heavenly Father loves YOU with all HIS heart, might, mind and strength." I know that is true, because I have felt that love. On amy mission I have lost all of my support systems, and all of the things I do to just get away from the world. But I have him. I can turn to him any time that I want and I know that he will be there. It is such an amazing promise that we have,  that when we call to Him.  He will never abandon us. I Know that this church is true. The scriptures are true, and that this is where I need to be right now. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY I can finally say it. It is amazing and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than Ponca City. I love you all with all my heart. I hope everyone is doing well!much loveSister Webber

I had to clean out the vacuum because missionaries don't clean things
so pulled out a whole head of hair. #IwantedToThrowUp

Signing our names in the attic of the apartment

We climbed in the attic of our apt, and wrote our names with the other missionaries, also couldn't get back down, so Sister Rees (while laughing) took a picture of me. 

Also a picture of Sister Leathers because she is the best.
