THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE BIG AND BRIGHT: April 18, 2011

Howdy,
I love my mission. I'm not coming home, but I will call y'all on mothers' day.  I don't know exactly what day that is or time or stuff . . . The investigator of the month is Atos. His wife (a member) had a dream that he would baptize his son and ever since they have been non stop praying and reading the scriptures and fasting to help him stop drinking and smoking which he has done over the course of just a few weeks.  He has learned to love the scriptures and his family, which has led him to be able to completely stop sinning in only a few months. I love Atos. He is one of my best friends.  I am glad to be here and be able to teach him.
Love yall
Love,  Elder Cosby
