We left Tonga on Mayu 23rd, and it is back to "reality" here in Salt Lake. While it is really great to see and be around my family, I am not so sure about Salt Lake. I have been going through the "culture shock" of returning to the culture here--large supermarkets with every available food, tatood, pierced and immodestly dressed people, and rare smiles, hellos, or even eye contact.
I will have to remember some of the many positive things I have learned from the Tongans, things like smiling, making eye contact, saying hello, saying thank you, and looking out for others. The love I have felt in Tonga these past three years is incredible--I need to be more like them.

I wish we were all like the Tongans. Wouldn't that be something?
