Sorry that we have been a little lazy about doing anything on the blog for about... well .... a month now.`
Our life has been so weird since coming to vava'u and living with a family and washing ourselves in a tiny bin with a curtian that leaves you exposed to the world when there is wind.... awkward, our toilet was a small tin outhouse, our bed was filled with bugs and we lived off of flour, sugar and water deep fried for most meals... but really. We have loved it but it did turn our world upside down!!!
The family that we lived with was so generous and cute. The little kids would come around every morning to wake us up and let us know that it was time to play! We feel like our eyes were really opened and that we have a new perspective about life and what is important. These people really don't have alot of the things that we would call basic needs, but they get along happily and well.
We are now living with another family that is closer to the book project we are working on with a group of people and our professor that set everything up for us! Also we will be coming home on the thirteenth of this month... one week! So we expect lots of flower gifts, cookie dough... haha just kidding but really about the delicious cookie dough I have been craving since we got here!
WE love you all and are so excited to be coming home. We have a new love for Tonga and for the incredible amount of generous and kind people we have met here, both Tongan and Chinese! We are so grateful for our experience here, it has been life changing for us.
See you soon.
Pictures will come when we are back!!!
