Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great week! things have been going good here for the most part, it has been rainy some days and hot others. My companion and I have decided that everyone here has fake door bells. No ONE and I mean No ONE every answers there door! no matter if you knock or ring the door bell, no answer. no one answers the phone either! i cant tell you how many times I have tried to call some one and they just don't answer and don't call you back. Ok, so on a happier note we did find new people to teach this week! we picked up two new investigators! YAY! one is an 11 year old boy his mother is a member. and the other is a lady the elders met on the street. It was really nice to pick up a few people and have a few lessons this week. it looks like for now things are looking up. I am super excited about this week because we are doing exchanges with Ithaca and I get to go work there for the daY!!! I am so excited! well I hope you all have a great week and I will write next week. --Sister Cox

Learning Experiences
(e-mail from 6/6/11)
Well, this week has been another hard week. we still have not found anyone new to teach and we are down to only 2 in our teaching pool. we are doing everything that we know to do to find people to teach. I feel that right now the Lord is just helping us learn from this experience. I have come to learn on my mission that I am grateful for the hard times and the trials because they give us an opportunity to grow in ways that we could only grow thorough that trial. I am growing as a missionary at this time in my mission because to the circumstances of the area that I am in and I am grateful for that. I hope you are all doing well and that you have a great week!! --Sister Cox

And my shoes broke this week :( I feel like its one of those moments when it rains it pours! I have been very, very, very stressed. a lot of it is that I am sick and I just don't feel good. I don't feel like packing but you got to do what you got to do. I know that It will all work out. I just need to make it through this week. it will be an adventure when we get to Endicott .

Hello everyone! i hope you all have been having a great week so far. things have been going really well here. We found two new people this past week one was a HQ referral and she requested that missionaries come and visit her so we went and she told us that she has just been looking for a new church and was interested in our church because she like that families can be together forever. we also got another referral that called the church he said that he wanted to know about all this "Mormon stuff" well we met with him and he was very interested and actually came to church on Sunday. all of that was very exciting we are excited to work with both of them and help them progress. so last week i didn't have to write an email because it took longer that i had expected to send pictures but last week we had to get our breaks fixed in our car. well it started out that when i got her i kept hearing this grinding noise and it was getting worse so we decided that we need to go take the car in. well, we found out that the breaks were bad and they need to get fixed the place that we went to quoted us a price that was too high. we ended up calling a member who is a mechanic and he volunteered to fix them for us, saving us a lot of money. he came in half way though fixing our breaks holding up the old ones and said " it really is an act of God that you were stopping in that car!" apparently the brakes were completely gone just metal on metal. Wow, the Lord really does look out for his missionaries. we are fine and our breaks are all fixed! well, sorry this is so short but i have to go, i hope you all have a great week and I will write again next week! --Sister Cox
