Tonga!

Wed.

Alan wasn’t feeling great yesterday and last night he had a bad night. He needed to stay by the bathroom today so I went into work alone. The Breits are trying to find their way around with the students. There aren’t many coming into the office right now. We hope that it is just a slow time although we know that they are really going to miss the Beans. They did such a great job of helping them to move on with their educations. It will take the Breit’s a little while to get up to speed.

We are going to have this building remodeled over the Christmas break. We were hoping to get an office with a view of the ocean but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. The Breits really want the conference room expanded and since he is an engineer he has figured out a way that they can make it happen. So we think that the new plan moves us to the other side of the building with a beautiful view of the warehouse next door. Sure glad that we are only going to be here a few more months. The office we are in now gives me the creeps it is always so dirty. I don’t even want to think what is walking around in here at night!!!!! I wish we could just stay at Liahona. We love our office there. By the time they get this all done and cleaned up we will be on our way home. We are just trying to make sure that the couple that comes to replace us -- if there is one -- has a nice place to work.

I went shopping with Sister Mitchell this afternoon. We have been trying to find a day when we could go see Sister Fahoko. She makes wonderful Tongan crafts and we both wanted to get a nativity set to take home. We had a great time in her shop and spent way more money than Alan thought we should but I found some fun things to bring home. That’s part of the problem, getting them home! At least these are not heavy, I will find a way.

We spent a nice quiet evening at home. Alan spent most of the day in bed. He is weak but feeling a little better.
