Chapter 68: Extension???

Hello Everyone!
Oh my goodness gracious this has been such a busy and miracle filled week! I'll try to not go into too many details. Overall.... the biggest miracle... We found FIVE new investigators this week!!! We worked our tails off and of course, the Lord provided the miracle after we showed our faith. I'll just give a few quick synopsis' because some of them have really cool stories with how we found them.
T___- So he's dating a less active member and he happened to be home when we were going to see her. He told us that his sister has been meeting with the missionaries in her area and that shes getting baptized soon. He was then able to open up and told us that he has been meaning to take the lessons but had been procrastinating it and he wasn't sure why, especially when he loves the church so much. We talked about the how the gospel would bless them as a family and the excitement and the light seemed to glow brighter and brighter in his eyes and he was so excited to have us come back and start teaching him of how this could bless his life.
G____- We'd been trying to meet with her for a few weeks but her health problems have been a bit of a stumbling block. But we were able to catch her while we were on exchanges and she said that she has felt like something is missing and she'd love to have us come and read the Book of Mormon with her because she cant even read! But she felt the spirit the last time she had missionaries over and wants that feeling back in her life.
J___- She was a but stand offish at first but opened us and said that she felt like something was missing in her church. When we handed the Book of Mormon to her she started flipping through it and said ( and I quote)" This is perfect. Something will come of this" with a big grin on her face :). And thus we see that she will be coming to church this week for a tour of the building. She also has 9 children and she feels like this could be something really great for them. :)
W___ and L___- They are cute :) They have met with missionaries in the past before as well and while they came to know a lot of the doctrine they were never able to feel the truthfulness of it because of certain circumstances. But now they are open and willing to come to know for themselves if this really is the true church!
Isn't it amazing to see how the work really is progressing?!? God is pouring out miracles here in the Edison ward and a feel so lucky to get to be a part of it. This is an amazing work. I talked to President White this week about an extension during my interview because I think I could honestly stay here forever and be perfectly happy knocking on doors :) Don't worry Mom and Dad. He looked at it and my mission is already running a little long so he cant let me stay but it made me feel really good that he said he would keep me in a heartbeat if they would let him. Unfortunately the missionary department has rules so sisters cant serve for 2 years ;). I couldn't ask for a better life. Great area. Great companion. Great area. Great work. Its just awesome :) I am so grateful to all of y'all and all the support and prayers y'all give on my behalf. Thank you for everything! Till next week!
