Tonga!

Jan. 7th, 2013

We went into the office and plowed through the files today. There are so many projects that were turned down. Tara told us that Elder and Sister Sanders got so discouraged that they wanted to go home at one point. That’s when they started doing missionary housing. We know that it will be difficult, but we are hoping that we can find that one thing that will really make a difference. We know that with the Lord’s help, we will.
We drove ourselves to work today for the first time. Alan did great. You have to be defensive every second, with the crazy drivers, pot holes and driving on the left side of the road. It takes two of us to get safely there and back. It is the first time that Alan has been glad to have me there to tell him how to drive!
After dinner we went to FHE. We hold it in the conference room at the school because there are so many of us. Tonight we had 20 because there is a Dr. and a dentist here doing service work in Tonga. They came with their wives. One senior couple does FHE each week. They do the lesson and prepare the treats. The Coles did a presentation on coming unto Christ. It was very well done. A good way to end the day.
