So far I have......

Since I have been at Mizpah school I have had many different jobs. So I thought I might list a few. So far I have become.......

A Teacher - I have been teaching From's 1-3 and have enjoyed every minute of it. They kids don't listen, don't do their homework, or are constantly hitting each other. But they are awesome and despite their inability to list, are learning.

An Accounting Teacher - I listed this one separate from teacher because it was unexpected and has been difficult. The current accounting teacher a Mizpah has given birth so she is taking a month off. No one else felt qualified to teach accounting to Form 4, so they asked me to do it. I have only taking two semester of accounting in college and wasn't quite sure what I was going to do. But so far the class has gone well and I only have a month left.

A Singer - I have been told that I can't keep a tune to save my life, but it doesn't matter here in Tonga. They asked Ryan and I to join a male singing group, so we did. There are eight of us in the group and we practice every Tuesday night. They said they want us to go on tour to Fiji, but that has about the same chance and getting me to sing on key.

A Choir Director - I am the Form 2 home room teacher so I meet with them every morning. We are suppose to practice a song with our Forms that we will sing for education Sabbath. So with out any knowledge of music I have began the process of directing the Form 2 choir.

A Mom - I do my own laundry, which is was and rinsed in a bucket then hung up to dry. I sweep and mop the house to get it clean. I go grocery shopping on Saturdays at the market to buy food for the weed, planning out what to buy before hand. Every day for Lunch and Dinner I cook my own food, which turns out really well sometimes. Tonight we had fresh trevally fillets (caught by myself) that was seared in oil with garlic, salt, butter and cooked to perfection. On the side we had pasta mixed with onions and green beans that had been sauteed with Lowery's salt over medium-high heat. Who needs restaurants?

A Dad - I cut the grass.

A Blogger - Apparently I don't write enough blogs, sorry Aunt Nancy.

A Rugby Enthusiast - Still can't figure out what is going on, but feel ashamed that I ever thought that football player were tough.

A Fisherman - I go fishing around three time a week and still wish I could go more.

An Intellect - I have never been much of a reader, but Tonga has changed that. Nothing goes on around here on Sundays, so I read or listen to audio books after church. Usually in my hammock.

A Star Gazer - I have never seen so many stars in my life as I can see in one night here.

I have been in Vava'u for about a month and a half now. Time is going by to fast and I feel that I am already going to be leaving to soon.
