Today we had no internet at all. I guess that is what you get when the internet company knows you have a complaint. We did receive two phone calls from New Zealand wanting clarification on items in our project so at least we know they are looking at it. It is amazing what an email from SLC will do to get people moving. We couldn’t look anything up on the computer but thankfully I have kept everything we do in a file. I like to have a paper trail! We are really going to like the new couple in New Zealand. Elder Reynolds is very organized and he stays on top of things.
We couldn’t get anything done so we left the office and took care of missionary housing needs. Alan is looking for supplies to send to the other islands. We needed some empty spray bottles and they are impossible to find. No one has them here. We will have to order them in and that will take weeks, if not months!
Today, tomorrow and Friday are “Sports Days” in Tonga. It is like the state competition for track and field at home, only the whole school system shuts down. Everybody goes and the schools from the outer islands compete too. It is a huge event so Liahona is basically shut down. Hopefully that means that I can get on the internet there and get something done.
I was able to get some things on the blog and send emails from Liahona. No one was there so the internet worked well.
We had a quiet night at home. We went for a walk and I got the ironing done. It felt good to just be home without much to do.
