First Area

Hey everyone! how's it going? I am in New York now, and my first area is in *****! It is one of the smallest areas in the mission which means its is also a walking area. so I am getting in shape, it has lots of hills! We talk to and meet lots of people. ****** campus is in our area also. I love my new companion she is awesome, her name is Sister ***** she has been out for 6 months and has been in ***** for all 6 months so she knows the area really well. I just hope she doesn't leave the next transfer because i don't know what i am doing! well ***** is an interesting place, everyone is go green, vegetarian and vegan. We meet strange people everyday and only a normal person like every other day and usually the normal people don't want to talk to us. It will take some adjustment to get used to this place but I am starting to like it. We are teaching two people from China right now and we are hoping that we can baptise them before they leave to go back. we have one that is concerned about being baptized because he is not sure he can go to Church in China and the sad thing is that he is probably right. so we don't know whats going to happen, but he loves to learn about the Gospel and just asked if he could meet with us 2 times a week instead of the 1 time a week we were meeting with him! so that's great! well i am running out of time so i am going to go. you can all write me at the mission home and then they just forward it to me. I will write later bye!
Love Sister Christi Cox

In New York!

Sister Cox is now in New York! She left the MTC early this morning. She talked to Mom early this morning and is doing well. Mom says she sounded very happy. I'll post more info as it comes.
