New mission address and update

I am no longer in Wonthaggi but am much, much closer to the city and am training again. Sister Peter has gone home to Venuatu and I am now with my new companion Sister Wilfred, who is also from Venuatu, but a different island than Sister Peter. We are in an area called Mornington-which, if you look at a map of Melbourne is the little Peninsula that sitcks out into the bay-that's our area. It's a good size, we have a HUGE ward, and they are WONDERFUL!!! I love it here and could stay for the rest of my mission. Actually, we had a miracle this last week. We have a mission president's fireside in Wantirna (by the temple) on the first Sunday of every month. We were determined to go and I have been praying to find people to bring. I had a list of people to invite but one by one they all fell through. Last week we met a girl named Alexandra. She is the sister of a less-active. We had only taught her a short lesson on prayer on Friday, but that night I prayed about who we should bring to the fireside. Her name came to mind very strongly. Although we barely knew her I called her up and invited her to go. She was reserved but said she would like to. Sunday night, we rode up to the fireside with Alexandra and two YSA in our ward-Bree and Eric, who are super missionaries. It was a miracle to have her there and the fireside was on prayer-perfect :) That's all for this week-but I love you all heaps and for those interested my new mission address (if I haven't posted it yet) is Sister Edmunds 76 Cathies Lane Wantirna South, VIC 3152 Australia
