Personal:
This week was pretty rough. I was sick with chikungunya all week. I think I've had it for two weeks though it just didn't get very bad till about Tuesday. The Doctor made us stay home all week other than about 3 times when we went out to do some Baptismal Interviews. However, plenty of good stuff still happened. The zones came over and one of the Elders that went home left his ukulele in their car. The elder gave it to the zones and the zones gave it to me. By the way we have new zones now and they're pretty cool. I've played it all week and being a much more simple instrument than the violin I have picked it up pretty fast and can play a few Tongan hymns.
Companionship:
One of the Elders out in Sopu forgot to tell us that his interview wasn't going to go through so we rode out there and then we just rode back . Luckily we met one of out investigators on the way out there and we were able to update her phone number. We also got in a pillow fight this last week which I totally won. Apart from that I think he's really liked this week. I'll admit, I'd do about anything to be companions with Matt.
Tonga:
We didn't get any food for a while because we ran out of credit on our phone and weren't allowed to leave the house. For about three days we survived on crackers and then we got canned beef and Lu on Sunday. It didn't quite go over well and decided to come right back up. The Noble heard I was sick and brought me a big bag of apples and oranges later that night because he knew I liked fruit. It's been super hot this week and I can't wait for this so called Winter that is supposed to come.
Language:
Well, this week actually did have a bit of improvement. My companion decided to sing in English so I decided to sing my best in Tongan, and as you all know I can't sing. Other than that I memorized a lot of words and also learned I had been swearing on accident every time I taught lesson 4 because teh is a bad word and tē is a good word.

Anyway, love you all and hope you're all safe and sound. Hanz, Izi, Emma and Leif I hope you're all watching out for each other and saving up to come out and see me at the end! Look out for Lyssa!
