Dear Family,
Everyone here mows their entire lawn with a weed wacker, which takes anywhere from 7 hours to an entire day. It's not good for missionary work. It's the perfect excuse. We ask do you want to be saved? and they say, "No, in between weedwackin' my lawn and eating I have no time for the gospel," and I have no response because it is really true.
On the other hand the work with those who don't mow their lawns is going great. We baptized Tevahinepoekivariki, the little girl aho came and asked us to baptise her. Try saying that name in front of the ward. Reading Tikitikitimbo and Rikitikitavi really helped for my mission. Although in all of the pictures she looked super unhappy it was a great experience. Almost all of the inactive members in her neighborhood have started coming to church again. One good example is really powerful.
Also, I had to give a talk about missionary work and in preparing my talk I realized that President Monson talks a lot about missionary work. He is trying to prepare us for the marvelous work that is coming forth among us. I hope we are ready 'cause if not we will miss it and it will pass us by. There are a lot of miracles to be seen and blessings to be had in missionay work. Love Y'all
Love Elder Cosby
