I have come to really appreciate and love the things in life that are universal. Smiling, laughing and waving. You don't need to speak English or Tonga to communicate this way. When we drive through villages, we always have kids smiling and waving. Even though there are so many times when we are confused because of language barriers, this is a beautiful way to communicate. Especially with children.
The girls from a nearby village having been coming over quite frequently. Yesterday, I sat with them and they colored while I did homework. They speak very little English but we had a great time...
...smiling, laughing, waving and making funny faces. Aren't they beautiful?!?!
NICE, heather : )
