Tonga Week 9

Dear Family and Friends,

How are you all?! Sorry I have not had the time to respond to all the emails last week, the internet here is prone to go down for several hours at a time and it could today as well because it has been particularly stormy. We have gone into the Hurricane season and it is very hot. The season peaks around January and dissipates around April.

Personally I am doing okay. This last week was rough because we lost 4 of our best investigators, and it was probably the hardest in terms of food. Sea Urchin and Kupa Moa. We also had raw fish, which was seriously just a freshly caught fish put on a plate in front of us. We are supposed to dip it in lemon as we eat it. I expected running to be easy here because of the elevation, but it turns out the humidity is a killer.

Companionship is going well. I LOVE to clean everything as I'm sure you all know, as well as cook and do the dishes, but things are going better. It is definitely weird not to be having a regular snowy christmas. The companionship is getting better and so is my Tongan.

Tonga is great. It's hot, the food is rough and the kids love to randomly come in and play jokes on us in the night, but overall, it is great. Sorry I do not have much time to write today.

I love you all, and am thankful to be out here. Thank you all for your support. I know this church is true. I know if you will read the Book of Mormon, you will know of its truthfulness and gain a Testimony.

Love you all,
Elder Lundskog
