Sitter sang as they walked and walked and walked

Hi!
So things are getting better a little bit at a time.  We found 4 new people to teach and we have a few potentials who we have return appointments with them this week.  So, it is picking up.  Still walking everywhere.  We decided to tract this street and it is in the Northside of the city.  So we start walking. . . . up about 5 big hills. . . . we finally get there and all that is on the street is an old folks home. . . . so we go to our back up. . . . up a few more hills. . . . and someone let us in.  We talked to him and set a return appointment, and hopefully we can pick him up as an investigator on Saturday.  And maybe we will have a ride, because I really don't want to walk up the hills again.  Oh well if we do, I will just start loosing more weight. 
 
We tried a potential the Elders had found for us when there were no sisters her in May.  We set a return appointment and then when we went back he was busy but his girlfriend's mom was there and she let us teach her.  She has a son who is a member in PA and it seems like she really just wants to know what he believes and understand it better.  I think it is a great thing.  Oh and we also picked up the original potential the next day. 
 
We finally taught and picked up this guy who Sister C and I met.  The elders are teaching his son.  I'm excited to see where this goes. 
 
I know that things are looking up.  I know things will workout.  Somedays are a lot easier than others.  Somedays I really have to have a trial of my faith before things will workout.  I was talking to one of the Elders yesterday and I said I really would like to stay in this area just a little longer.  I feel like the ball is just starting to roll and I don't want to leave it just yet.  I would like to see it blossom a lot.  Hopefully I can stay here.  Because honestly, this area needs a sister to be here for longer than 3 months.  But, I will do what the Lord wants me to do.  
 
Love You!
