Sat.
We slept in until almost 7:30. It felt good!! We spent the morning cleaning the house and I sprayed for bugs. We have been very blessed so far and I hope to keep it that way. I want to stay on top of the bug problem. Sister Mitchell, the mission nurse has ants in her house. She will open a cupboard and there will be hundreds of them climbing on everything. She has had to keep all of her food in the fridge. The FM came and sprayed and then she would come home to hundreds of dead ants everywhere. She would clean them up and the next day the live ones would be back again. We moved her to a different house today. She moved in to the house that Elder and Sister Coles used to live in. Hopefully things will be better there.
Alan and I took snickers out to the elders in Nuku’nuku today. Their MQ was really in good shape when Alan made a surprise visit the other day. They were thrilled to get “snickered”. Sure wish we had more elders that would put forth the effort to keep their MQ clean. We’ll keep working with them. They are just kids and they are boys at that. It makes me wonder how my boys did when they were missionaries. You can’t be spiritually strong and live in filth. The Spirit just won’t abide in a filthy MQ.On the way home we went to see the blow holes on the west side of the island. It was a cloudy and kind of stormy day so the waves were big and they really came crashing in while we were there. That made the blow holes shoot way up. It was beautiful but I didn’t have my camera so I missed getting pictures of it. I need to have it with me all the time, there is always something to take a picture of in Tonga. Too bad it is so hard to get them posted on the blog!!
We talked to Kimi on the phone as we were driving around. She and Mike are getting ready to move to Colorado so we wanted to know how everything was coming along, plus we have to have constant updates about our precious grand daughter. Everything seems to be going well with the pregnancy. We feel so blessed and we will be grateful when they are safely in Colorado and she can get set up with a new doctor.
We also talked to Clint today. It is his birthday here and will be there tomorrow. We had a good visit with him. It is fun to touch base with the family on their birthdays. It’s good to know what is going on in their lives.
We ended the day with a movie. We watched “Wild Hearts”.
