I'M PRETTY SURE I'M GONNA COME BACK AND LIVE HERE: May 16, 2011

Dear Family,
This weekend Artos got baptised and that was a nice treat. He used to be a super bad guy and now he's a super good guy and I'm really proud of him. This past week 4 people came to church and asked us if they could start the lessons.  One of them told her friends that she didn't want the lessons anymore because she wanted to be baptized right then.  Another one named Heimata told us that she can't pray about Joseph Smith because if she does she will have to get baptized and she is not ready for that. I decided that of all the problems she could have that one is not so bad. That was also a nice treat. Also the other night our neighbors gave us a guitar and ukulele concert in which I sang to them for the first time "Home on the Range" and "Deep in the Heart of Texas and they played right along note for note just as good Tahitians do. That was also a nice treat. It was a very sweet week. I love it here.  I'm pretty sure I'm gonna come back and live here.

Love y'all
Love, Elder Cosby
