Monday, March 25thAfter our devotional at the Service Center I headed into the office with the Beans and Alan went out with one of the FM men to check the MQ’s. The first thing I did was email Elder Halversen about our project. I sent him the project number and we are praying that he can find it. What happens to a project when you push the “submit” button? It should go somewhere! I think ours ended up in space somewhere. Only I could accomplish that!!
We had a Welfare team meeting today and it was good to get everyone on the same page and coordinate all of our efforts. Anna is really making things happen. We have been able to visit 11 villages so far and we will go to 6 more this week. Then we should be well prepared for our visit with Elder Colson next week.
We found out today that we will have a long weekend this weekend. Everything in Tonga closes down on Good Friday and stays closed through Monday. We won’t be in the office again until Tuesday. We didn’t know this would happen and it really isn’t the best timing when the Colsons will be here on Saturday. Oh well, we will just have to spend Monday showing them around Tonga.
Alan came home from his trip through the zone quite depressed. They have all been deep cleaned, or so it was reported to us. They still look awful! We won’t be paying for that work until it is done right. He was also disappointed in many of the missionaries. They are living like pigs. Somehow we have to think of a way to motivate them to do better.
The Szokas did our FHE tonight. It was all centered around Easter. They did a great job. For treats we had avocado pie. It was interesting but not something that I would ever make. The avocados are on here right now and they are amazing! They are huge and sooooo good. We never see anything like them in America.
