Goodbye Tonga

After living in Tonga for 90 days, it was a bitter sweet feeling saying goodbye. We will miss the Fonua family in Ha'apai, and going to sandy beach everyday. We'll miss having limited responsibilities and no plans. But we miss our family and friends. And the many luxuries we enjoy at home (like hot showers).

But before we left we were able to enjoy 4 days in Tonga with my parents! We stayed on the beach in a cute little hut.

We took them to the temple and I went with Mom to a seminary class at Liahona (the church high school in Tonga). The teacher did a great job.


We went kayaking and snorkeling at the beach. Michael surfed. We went whale watching in the rain. And shopped at the market.


We took Mom and Dad to church and then ate dinner at the Bishop's house after. It was a blast. Now we are off to Hamilton, New Zealand for 2 days and then Auckland for 2 days.
