Hey guys! This week has been just about as normal as any
other week in Tonga!
It is so dang hot here literally there is almost no point in
taking showers anymore, it is ridiculous. This week we got some new beds
and a new bed frame that we ordered the past week. Just picture giant baby
mattresses. They're a little hard but I kinda like them and the bed frame
that got sent us is too small to hold the mattress so we had to switch it out
with one at the Pangai MQ.
We tried to help some guys with building their house on
Wednesday because the work here is very slow so sometimes service is about all
we can do. We showed up ready to help but they didn't really have anything to do
for 2 palangis, so they just fed us (dog and ice cream) and we just tried to
be helpful, moved some wood around for them.
We discovered this week that one of our members has THE ONLY
ice machine/walk in freezer in Ha'apai. It is literally gold. When we walk
past their house, sometimes we will go stand inside and it is heaven.
Our Stake President showed us how to make Lu this week (Taro
leaves, coconut milk, and meat) its what we eat every Sunday. So when I get
home, I can make some delish Lu for everyone even though I will probably be the
only one that likes it because it's kind of an acquired taste.
We bought like 200 nails last week so that we could put our
mirror on the wall and that's the least amount of nails the Chinese would let us
buy, so we had like 198 nails and we didn't know what to do with them,
so we kinda went a little crazy and started putting nails everywhere. Now we have
a ton of places to hang our shirts, we have some silver wear holders on the
wall, and a key ring. You can do so much with nails apparently.
This week we started teaching a family! It's a mom with here
3 kids. We've only been able to teach them once, but hopefully this week we
will get another opportunity and set up a baptismal date. The mom seems really
into it. Teaching them was awesome!
Here are some random stats for this week:
10 - watermelons given to us
3 - conversations with drunk people
5 - Lu's eaten (that's a lot)
I think that's about it for this week though! Sorry there are no
pics, the internet here is dang slow!
Ofazz fam!!
