More Events in December in Tongatapu

The first event is Elder Moon's birthday party.  He just turned 70!  Boy he is over the hill! We all went to dinner at Chef Zero, it is a restaurant that if you didn't know better it would be just another house in the bush.  But the food is wonderful.  Excellent fish dishes and it is very clean and one of the nicest places we have eaten in here in Tongatapu.  Elder Berger says it is the best restaurant in Tongatapu.

This Elder Moon's birthday party.  He is at the head of the table and his wife is to the right.  Next to Sister Moon is Elder and Sister Wood. Next to me is Elder and Sister Van Den Akker.  Just before Elder and Sister Moon came on this mission, Elder Moon and one of his sons road bicycles from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.

More of Elder Moon's Party.  At the end of the table is Elder and Sister Simmons who are here for a short time as their mission is in Vava'u and will be returning there in a few days.

The next picture we will be showing you is our Mission President and his family singing at our meeting with Elder Nielsen.  They sang a beautiful song and Elder and Sister Nielsen then spoke to us.  It was a very inspiring meeting.

President Tupou, his wife and two son.

Following this inspiring meeting we had to meet Ana to go and deliver two wheelchairs to some people in need.  Following are the pictures of these recipients.

This lady is from Vava'u.  She fell and broke her leg and broke the bones below the knee cap.  They have casted it and she will go on Monday to find out if they will have to do surgery.  As you can see from the picture where they have cut out part of the cast, it is very swollen.  We so hope that all will go well for her.

This young girl is 12 years old.  She is mentally handicapped and cannot walk well.  She does not speak and has a hard time controlling her movements.  They said that her mother was in a car accident when she was pregnant with her.  The young girl with her is her sister.  She was such a beautiful little thing with hair past her back side.
