Our local coordinator from Tonga is here in Utah visiting family, and it's a blast having him stop by the office to help us coordinate details for the trip. So far he's met all the interns, helped us film a video, and been introduced to our tropical candy jar.
Our coordinator described to us the current state of mourning in Tonga after the death of their most recent King, George Tupou V. He himself was deeply saddened by the loss of Tonga's leader, and the whole country will be in official mourning for the next three months. Anyone who is going with on our first expedition might expect to see some of the Tongan people wear black in respect of their King. Our hearts go out to the Kingdom of Tonga, and we are grateful and honored to serve with them in a few short months.
