We were greeted with cheers and waves from President McMurray, his children, and the Thompsons.
Our friends, Elder and Sister Sing from the MTC were there too.
Liahona High School campus entrance welcomes us to our missionary home
Rainbow on the street where we live.
We love our house #24 on Liahona campus. 
This is our kitchen and dining area.
We're learning to enjoy these little guys in our living quarters. Gecko lizards love the bugs we hate! Ants..........
Our living room with TV has no reception.
Our backyard neighbor is the Tongan temple--we enjoy Thursday evenings here.
Typical home for young elder missionaries on the islands. This is one of the best in Tongatapu!
Washing clothes in plastic buckets with pvc pipes--one wash and 3 rinses before hanging on the fence.
Pruning the seed pods from the palm tree in our front yard.
Our first visit to the blowholes just a few miles from Liahona---and this wasn't high tide! Some missionary couples take their walk from Liahona to there and back.
We enjoyed the ocean view as we sat under the Pandana trees. They're sometimes called Polynesian paint brush trees because when the fruit falls off and dries it can be used like a paint brush.
Christmas day late afternoon and evening at the beach with the missionary couples and the mission office elders. Elder Hawley and Elder Thompson play a round of golf with tennis balls and pandana tree sticks as Elder Lyon looks on.
President and Sister McMurray (Makameli) on Christmas day at the beach.
