On Friday Alan felt good enough to go into town with me to work. The internet was totally off so we didn’t stay too long. We did a little shopping and then headed home. He rested and I went to the office to do a few things. We have a huge week next week. Sure hope he is feeling better by then.
We had a Tongan Feast tonight. We were invited to the home of a member of the church who lives in the village of Ha’akame. He and his family fixed all of the Tongan food and the missionaries brought salads and desserts. We had chicken, fish, raw fish, octopus, ufi, and the best lupulu I have had yet. It was held in their back yard and when we finished eating our host and his wife sang a couple of songs for us. It was very informal but so much fun. It is such a treat to meet some of these local people and spend some time with them. I can’t believe how generous they are. Fixing dinner for 26 people and then inviting them back for more!
