Last week was Saineha High School’s reunion. This happened to be where Tevita went to school, so we joined in the festivities. We made it to a couple feasts and went to a couple of dances, and I have never seen anything like this celebration. Many of the alumni currently live overseas and came back to see family and enjoy the celebrating. The thing that was amazing is what they brought back with them – which was a great deal of money. During every afternoon of feasting was a performance from various villages and groups. Many of the alumni would go up to the performing group and throw money into the air as well as tuck money in every single person’s pocket. I was astounded to see so much generosity. It was also quit amusing to see people running around in an attempt to catch the falling bills. Not only was money donated to these performers, but also large contributions made to the school.


I also spent the later part of last week in bed sick. The temperature dropped quit a bit for the South Pacific and I seemed to have caught something. I wasn’t nearly as bad as Tevita who was down for the count with a fever. As I seemed to have recovered nicely, Tevita is still wearing his winter hat around and a nice warm sweater.

My countdown is now exactly 8 weeks, which is unreal. The excitement of seeing everyone is starting to become overwhelming. I have to admit it is getting hard to even sit down and write these posts. Hope everyone is well.

Love you all,
