I REALLY LIKE MY MISSION: Feb 27, 2012


Dear Family,
This week we had 2 baptisms.  The first was Manutea Putoa ( translation:  White Bird Conchshell Store).  We hope that his mom will soon join him and get baptized.  The other was Nooroa Taero (Big Reputation Drunk).  He is a good guy even though he forgets the lessons really fast because he is super old.  At this moment I am with Elder Crump while we both wait for our new companions after which he will be going to Raiatea.  I will be finishing my mission here in Mahina.  I know I don't write a lot in my emails but y'all shoudl know that I really lke my mission and that I am super happy to be here.
Love,
Elder Cosby
