Flight Home from Vava’u

“Mommy, why is that person’s skin such a funny color?”

“He look SO funny! I’m going to try hard not to stare.”

There is no security whatsoever on domestic flights in Tonga.

We met Elder Kau at the airport on Tongatapu. (He’s the bigger one on the right, in the photo). He is getting off his mission in three days.

Before his mission, he entered the “Mr. Tonga” competition. (And won). He is going to live in New Zealand, open up a gym, and be a fitness trainer. (Good choice).

I offered to help him muscle his luggage to the car.

This photo isn’t really fair, and doesn’t do me justice, because my shirt was untucked. (Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could photo-shop it?)
