Hello everyone! How was your Christmas?! I hope it was good. Mine was good but it could have been better. I lost my wallet on Christmas day and haven't found it still. I think it is lost forever.it was really crazy though because we didn't go that many places on Christmas eve and Christmas Day and we checked and rechecked and checked again all of those places even going so far as to go through our trash and still nothing. :( its a bummer. I know that it will all work out though. Christmas eve was really nice. a member of the ward here had us over and she had some how gotten our parents phone #'s and asked them what we like and some stories about us and then got little gifts for us that represented us or that we liked. it was so much fun! and then she call our homes and we got to sing " we wish you a merry Christmas" to them. it was such and nice night. and then Christmas day we spent looking for my wallet most of them time. we were supposed to go to one of our investigators that lived on Post but since we couldn't find my wallet I didn't have an ID to get on Post so we couldn't go :) my companion has been sick this week so we have spent some time in. she has really bad Asama and it was really acting up this week. but we are both looking forward to the baptism that we have coming up this Saturday! yay! we are so excited! the work is still going really really well here! we have 7 progressing investigators! I have never seen so many! we are really blessed here in this area. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great week this week! love you guys. --Sister Cox.

What A Week!

Hello everyone!
How's it going? Everyone done with there Christmas stuff and keeping warm? This was pretty cold here for a few days, it was like 9 degrees but then it warmed up for a day and rained and washed away all the snow. I was so excited until the next day and then it snow again. any way this week has been a good week but also kinda stressful. I got a new companion this past week, her name is Sister Palmer she is from Kentucky. she doesn't seem very southern though. she has lived in Utah for like the past 3 or 4 years before her mission. she is really really nice and really fun to work with we are getting along great! the week has been stressful because I have had to take over the area. I realized I don't know the area very well yet, but Sister Palmer has a GPS which Helps A LOT! it takes a lot of the stress off. I am excited that the work is going really really well! we should be seeing so baptism soon! and we started teaching a mother and daughter and they are awesome I am excited to see them progress in the gospel. I know that the Lord is blessing this area and is blessing these people. I am so grateful that I get to see all of these blessings take place! I hope that you are all having a wonderful week and continue to have a great week! I will write again next week! --Sister Cox

The Take Over
(e-mail from 12/7/10)
Hey everyone hows it going? Staying warm? It has been snowing here soooooo much! we have a lot of lake effect snow! it snowed all night and is still snowing right now! well a lot of exciting things happened this week! for one we had a baptism yay! it was so exciting and so good, it was kinda crazy though. we didn't know if it was going to happen till hours before the baptism. we showed up and Anyias ( the girl getting baptized) in the morning to find out that she was sick, like really sick, like she has spent the whole night puking and was still not feeling so hot. we asked her if she wanted to reschedule but she said no, she would be there. I was impressed she really wanted to be baptized and nothing was going to stop her. but then later that day we ran into another problem, it had started to snow and people were calling us and asking if we were going to cancel because of the weather. but it started to clear up a few hours before and the baptism went great! there was a big turn out and she felt alright not the best but she made it. it was such a good baptism. we also set two of our other investigators with a date this week and another one it committed to be baptized but is still decided on a date. we are hoping to have 4 with a date by then end of this week. this week we also got transfer calls. I am staying in Watertown and my companion is being transferred. I am a little nervous about taking over the area and showing another sister around. I don't feel like I know it well enough but I know that this is what the Lord wants and I feel good about it. I am looking forward to the coming transfer and what it has to bring! thanks so much to all of you and all of your support! I hope you have a great week. -Sister Cox

My Thanksgiving was good I got sick with the flu right before Thanksgiving and was still feeling a little under the weather on thanksgiving but it was ok. we had thanksgiving the next day and a different house anyway and by that time I was over the flu but I has started to get a cold. I have a cold right now I am trying to get ride of, I hope it goes away soon! we had a baptism this past week! that was good, really really good! we had a lot of investigators there to see the baptism too! so that was cool. we have another baptism coming up this week also we don't know if it will go through but we are hoping. we are also doing exchanges this week with the sisters in Ogdensburg. It will be fun but I am really stressed about it because i still don't feel like I know where I am going very well at all. And this Saturday we get transfer calls! wow i cant believe that its been almost 6 weeks already. I am not sure what will happen. I will most likely stay but my companion might go, I don't know. so there are a lot of things coming up this week, I will have to keep you guys updated on.
