Havelu Pictures

While we're looking back on some of Elder Tulane's old areas, we thought we'd share some of his pictures from Havelu and Nukunuku.  We shared his emails from Havelu before, and thought we'd give you some pictures to go with them.  Yes, Elder Tulane did catch a bat. Yes, Elder Tulane did climb a coconut tree.  Yes, there is a DJ Stan on the island.

It's the Final Countdown! And a Tongan Adventure Rewind.

In less than 100 days we'll get to hang out with Elder Tulane in the flesh!  Don't worry, though.  He'll be working hard right up until the last minute!




Until then, we have to stave our movie-quoting-funny-man craves with videos, pictures, and e-mails.   Recently, we've been having a lot of fun taking a look back on some of Elder Tulane's pictures and videos from earlier areas.  We thought we'd share a few of them with you.  These clips come from Havelu and Nukunuku (May 2009 through October 2009), and they are pretty fun.

For those of you who have experienced an open-air market, you know they can be quite a feast for the senses.  Here's an example of a Tongan open-air market that offers a little bit of everything.


Sometimes it can be very frustrating tracting.  Missionaries try and come up with the best ways possible to get in those doors.

Just kidding.  Elder Tulane and his companion actually got locked out of their place.


Well, you know what they say. . .when it rains, it POURS!

And last, but not least, who can be in a country without a bit of acculturation?
