While she was a captive, she realized that she had not recognized the Sabbath days. She began to question herself, her faith, and “how careless” she had been because she thought she was losing sight of him (74). She had been careless because she didn't realize how many days had passed since she had been captured. However, God never left her. Also, during his journey, he met a woman, Ann Joslin, of whom she was also held captive. He told Mary that he wanted to run and escape, but he didn't have the courage to do so. Luckily, Mary had her Bible and decided to read it together. However, Joslin could take it no longer and begged the Indians to “let her go home” (77). The Indians stripped Joslin naked and hit her on the head, killing her. It all happened at once that Mary's body was weak, so she decided to open a Bible and reflect. Instead of crying over everything that happened, he cried “over the Scriptures” (78) because he knows that everything “will be rewarded” in the end by lifting his spirit (78). Even though she didn't have the physical, mental and emotional strength, she knew that He was forgiving God and that He would accept her for what she had done.
