EMPHECHE PAS LES ENFANTS: DEC 6, 2010


Dear Family,

This week has been great.  After months of teaching the most terrible children in the world we have gotten somewhere.  These children have member parents and live in a little shack across the river from our bishop.  In this house are 30 people and we had a family home evening with the entire family and almost all of them came to church on Sunday. One of the couples is getting married and there are a lot of changes going on in the family, but the most amazing thing to me is that the kids are no longer terrible.  I've been finding out that even little kids can get powerful impressions from the Spirit and also change, thanks to the gospel and also thanks a little bit to the candy we've been giving them.  This little ward is growing so fast thanks to the members here in Hitiaa.  It's awesome to be a spectator of the Lord's work.  I'm excited to be able to talk to ya'll soon for Christmas.  I'm not sure exactly how that works but I will let you know.  Love Y'all.

Love, Elder Cosby
