Our first e-mail from Tonga!!!

Hey family,
Sorry it took so long to write, the e-mail was down last week. I had to make to new account because "ldsmail" is too slow here. I'm doing fine. My area is called Holonga. My comp is Elder Alatini, he is from here in Tonga. I haven't aquired a taste for the food yet, haha, and it's been a bigger culture shock than I thought it would be. It is very humid here and I am always wet and sticky. We have running water but it is cold. The members feed us all our meals, I'm not starving. The people live very humble lives here and sometimes we just eat crackers because thats all they have to offer us. The biggest thing that bugs me is the lack of hygene, but I'll get used to it. This is not what I pictured a mission being like. It's alot more laid back than most missions. I still haven't decided if thats a good thing or a bad thing. I'm not really enjoying myself yet and I've been upset more than a few times, but I am enduring. All of the people here are very nice. Tell everyone my new e-mail address. I love you all tons and miss you.

(Feel free to e-mail Elder Tulane, but don't expect a prompt response. He is only allowed to e-mail parents and siblings, and it takes a few weeks to get a letter back from him!)
