More Tonga!

Hey guys

Still in Tonga and loving it! Just in answer to Jenny's question, I came here with BYU-Idaho as part of my nursing community class. We're assessing the community of Tonga. It's splendid. We went to the hospital a couple times last week and got to see what that was like and ask a lot of questions. It's very different from the US. Their charting isn't nearly as detailed as ours is. They don't have the same strict rules we do and they don't fear the law suits we do. We went on Thursday to a clinic in the community. Our nurse, Ana, was wonderful. She took us to the beach. There we were in our white scrubs, standing in the sand and water. Church yesterday was great. We went to a little branch. It was English-speaking. In our Sunday school class, we sang "God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again" in Spanish. They're practicing for a fireside and the teacher served his mission in California Spanish-speaking. Who would imagine singing in Spanish in Tonga? We went to a musical fireside Sunday night and a choir from Liahona high school sang. It was beautiful. I forgot to mention what we did Sunday morning before our church. We went and listened to the Wesleyan church and listened to their choir and minister. It was beautiful, despite the language barrier. We're staying the night on an island tonight. Love ya all!
