Prayers for lost papers

[HomeschoolDad]

I have lost a large manila envelope that had paperwork proving that my father had a roof put on his house (the one I inherited) in 2012. I need them to provide documentation for the insurance company, to back up the fact that the roof was replaced in that year. I found them yesterday, verified the year, and clearly labeled them "ROOF PAPERS", and then... they just disappeared. I have looked everywhere I know to look. I have sought St Anthony's intercession, which usually works within minutes, but this time it's not happening.

The insurance company will probably just take my word for it (and if they won't, I'll be seeking out another insurance company), but it would be far better to have the papers in hand, so they can send them to their underwriters. It would be a very good thing if I could find them. When I took out the policy (which took an Act of Congress in and of itself, they have a very hard time dealing with second homes that aren't rental property), and could not tell them at the time when the roof was replaced, they told me I would have to agree to have a roof put on within twelve months. If I can prove that the roof was put on in 2012, or failing that, if they will take my word for it, I probably won't have to replace the roof. There's no need for it, the roof is in fine shape.

Humbly seeking everyone's prayers.

Prayers to St Anthony.

Update, my insurance agent told me that the underwriters aren't requring copies of the papers, to waive the roof replacement requirement. My word is sufficient. So Our Lord did indeed answer the prayer, just not in the fashion I expected. Whether I have the papers or not is immaterial, dodging the bullet of having to shell out several thousand dollars for a new roof was the real issue.

Te Deum laudamus.

I found the papers.

I had created for myself a false memory of them being in a manila envelope (I had another such envelope in my mind, one I had handled when I was sorting papers). The fact that they were actually in a nondescript white envelope, face down in a stack of papers, so that I could not see what I had written on the front, had rendered me unable to find them.
