Found Wallet!

(e-mail from 1/3/11)

Hello, How was everyone's New Year!? I hope you all had a good 2010 and are looking forward to 2011. I have good news this week! we found my wallet! i was found about a week later outside the house we ate dinner at on Christmas eve in the street. it was a miracle that we found it! I was so happy! thanks for all your prayers! we also had a baptism this week! it was soooo good! I love baptism. this week has also been a hard week. both my companion and I got sick this week. we both got colds and we had to stay in for a bit. we are getting better now but my companion woke up this morning throwing up... gross. she thinks that it was something that she ate and I hope so because I am tiered to getting sick! I can not get the flu! again! geesh. Satan has been working hard on us. good things are happening in the area but we have run into some speed bumps... sickness, lost wallets ect. we have been having a whole drama thing going with one of our former investigators. this particular investigator could be classified as "less accountable" she was always asking us to get her things from the store or find her rides places. we tried to help her out but she started abusing the situation and them members that were helping her and we just had to stop teaching her. well, yesterday she calls and said that she is all ready to go to church and if she can get a ride. my companion and I got her a ride and then she got up during testimony meting and started telling everyone that God had answered her prayers though a Lottery ticket that she had won money and that she needed to talk to the sisters after church because she needs rides places and groceries. yeeeeeah, it was horrifying. so we need to have a talk with her. we also are dealing with a boundary war in our ward. we have some members that come to our ward that are from Fort Drum but technically Fort Drum is in the Carthage Ward and is in the Elders area which means that it is out of our area. the problem is that there are members that like to have us over for dinner that live on fort drum and we have just been informed by our mission pres that we are NOT to leave our area. so we have to tell these members that we cannot come over and its just a touchy subject and I hope it doesn't blow up in our faces. Anyway other than that things are going well . I got to go. I hope you all have a great week. ---Sister Cox
