Magda lost her purse that contained the money she has earned and not yet spent for her allowance. She was two weeks due monies. Her Tata was reluctant to give her more money until the wallet was found. This was also due to the fact he didn't have change and Magda's current funds would help.
I visited this weekend and Sunday morning we spent some time looking for the purse. We had been searching for a goodly amount of time, and I suggested to Magda that she say a prayer to St Anthony, The Patron Saint of Lost Items. She left the room and returned moments later and said; "Ok G, I am ready to find my purse." I asked if she had prayed to St Anthony and she assured me she had. I told her, those prayers will be answered in time. I didn't tell her that sometime the answer is No.
Today, after Jen left with the 3 girls and I was gathering my belongings for my return to Fort Worth, I found the purse. This may inadvertently make a believer out of Magda.
