THIS IS THE GREATEST ISLAND IN THE WORLD: November 1, 2010

                                                 Tahiti is an island in the South Pacific Ocean


Dear Family,
We just got back from the most amazing boat ride in the world.  We went out to this little island off the coast and you could see all of Tahiti almost.  The water is so clear it's almost not there!  Our neighbors would pull  these huge beautiful conch shells out of the ocean,  stick their fingers down in there and pull out the slug thing and we ate them with lime on them.  It was awesome and pretty good. 

This weekend we will have 5 baptisms, 2 of which will be the first family that I taught from beginning to end.  Sara is one who will be getting baptized next Saturday.  She is super super awesome and she stopped smoking in one week after smoking 26 cigarettes a day. I feel like I just got on my mission and I've already been gone 6 months almost. Love Yall,
Love Elder Cosby
