yo this week was wild. very happy time in tonga. this is my first time being here when mate ma'a tonga (tongas rugby team) has had a game. they had a match against the australia, the world champs, this saturday and it was big. all week everybody getting ready for mate ma'a tonga. they put flags and streamers and stuff all over their houses, cars, fences. the hospital had like 90 flags up. everybody wears red, some dye their hair, paint their faces red. guys drive around all day in their vans blasting mate ma'a tonga songs from speakers mounted on the top. they do floats and parades with cars and kids on bikes carrying flags sceaming mate ma'a tonga all friday and saturday, its pretty fun. the whole country gets hyped. tongans have very big heart. one of the guys at rugby on sat morning told us if they lose, nobodys going to go to church, but if they win... still nobodys going to church because theyll be out in the streets celebrating all day ha. couple guys invited us over to watch the game but the zones told everybody to be in by 630, when the game started, gotta be obedient. that morning i went hard at rugby and we started a fast so i was pretty tired by 630. i tried to study and accidently passed out from 7 to 7 the next morning, woke up a few times to people cheering loud as. they ended up losing. it happens. still die 4 tonga though
this sunday was both wards primary programs haha twas the best. brings back good memories. they sing all the primary songs in english and they sing so freaking loud even when they forget the words. their message is true. and dont ever forget, God is always there for you. whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. pray, he is there, he is listening.
