Tonga!

Wednesday, April 23rd

We stayed at Laihaona this morning and worked there. We needed to go to the airport to see the Johnsons off and we didn’t want to drive all the way into town and leave from there. We went out to Lavengatonga first to check on that project one last time. We needed to be sure that they had put the fence up and everything was working well. It looked good. I will close that project out the first of May, as soon as all of the finances clear.

We went to the airport next, to say good-bye to the Johnsons. We have served our whole mission with them so seeing them off made us really think about going home. We will be the next couple to leave but we have two new couples coming in next week, so the mission just keeps going. We sure wish that someone was coming to replace us. When there is a big gap between humanitarian couples, things stop and it is hard to get them up and going again. It would have been nice to have a over lap with a new couple.

I fought a headache all day today, trying to keep it from turning into a migraine. Sister Mitchell had some medicine that she brought over and Sister Beckstrand gets migraines too, so she brought some pills over too. I ended up taking a Tylenol with codeine and going to bed.
