Guys! Vava'u is so flippin cool. When I said I heard there
were mountains, that was kind of an understatement. There are hills everywhere! So different from Ha'apai which is so flat.
So my first day here, I find out that we cover another
little town called Tu'anuku which is like a hour and a half long walk. My comp
tells me he knows a shortcut lol. We go down it and end up walking that whole
hour and a half in mud up to our ankles. We were feeling a little
adventurous.
Longomapu and Tu'anuku are so dang cool! The people here are
awesome and they are all homies. We have a homie in Tu'anuku, his name is
Spencer and he's from NZ. He's the man and gives us fruit everyday. He lives in
his home with his older brother Ngongo, who's like 80 I think. He has a ton
of land that he grows fruit on that he doesn't even sell. He grows it for him and
to share with the missionaries. Such a stud. He gave us some bananas that
he said would cost $50 each in the states because they are organic! Getting organic fruit for free boi!
Had my first warm shower in 5 months.
So everyone here in Longomapu are homies like I said, but
pretty much everyone who isn't a member, hate the church. There's this guy
named Felengi(Franky) and he's a teacher at one of the schools. If he sees any
of the kids talking to the missionaries then he will either hit them or not let
them come to school.
That ticks me off a little because these kids are the BEST. My
favorite thing to do here is show the kids magic tricks and give them candy. And for some reason they love my hair. I don't know how many times I've been
told, "Oua, oku tika aupito ho'o ulu masi'i." Translation: Dang, Your
hair is way cool man.!
My first Sunday here was good. Sometimes in Sacrament
Meetings here, people will sing a song in there talks, its straight
awkward.
I forgot to mention! In my last area we met this very old
lady. We were talking with her and find out she's from Niua (an island were Kolipoki
served(Other Side of Heaven)) I asked her if she knew him and she did! She said
she was way good friends with him. What if shes that girl from that one scene
in the movie!? 😱
AND My moma told me that I'm related to one of the first
three LDS missionaries that came here to Tonga. What the heck!? How cool is
that!?! Tongas in my blood!! Juat know I'm as palangi (white) as they come.
My B-day today was lit as always! Spent the whole day waiting
in our MQ for Pres to come and interview us! Got ZC tomorow here in
Vava'u.
The views here would blow your minds, these pics don't do
them justice. I'll try and take more to send next week when there's more time!
Love everyone so much! Hook me up with the deets on how all
your lives are going!
Ofa ATUUU😘
