We Visited Tonga!

We were so blessed and excited to return to Tonga for one week!  It felt so wonderful to see our Tongan friends, 10th Ward members and adopted families!
Meeting Sister Latu at her home.  I met Sister Latu in Eagle, Idaho at our daughters home.  She served her mission in Idaho.  Sateki and Sharon Tongi at their home.

The Principal's and ITEP couples stopped by Folau Kioa's gravesite. Folau and his family are dear friends of ours.  We were fortunate to see him in Hawaii 10 days before he passed away.  It was very touching for me. The warm love and feelings we have for our friend Folau over took my emotions.

We visited the Church's new camp site 'Camp Mekeke'.  Elder and Sister Killary have been called to serve here.  They were a couple that came to Tonga while we were there. They were Church Service Missionaries.  Now they have received a 23 month call to serve and continue to create 'Camp Mekeke'.  Each of us were given a "Christmas Palm" to plant along the side of the road.  Just the week before, Elder Groberg and his family were in Tonga and planted trees along the same road.

Elder & Sister Busby replaced us at Liahona.  They are doing such a wonderful work! We planted our tree and had our picture taken.  We feel so blessed to be able to see Tonga again and to see 'Camp Makeke'.
