Aaron attended an unexpected meeting this morning. He was invited to participate in a gathering sponsored by the Prime Minister’s Office and spent the morning interacting with the visitors as they led a program for community leaders.
One of my favorite things about living in the village is watching my kids’ personalities through the lens of my neighbors. Each of our children is loved well by our Marulaon community. Our kids have earned a good reputation here for obedience, hard work, laughter, and a willingness to learn language and culture. Olivia already has people asking her to give them her clothes when she leaves to go to America next year (which she will). All generations love her, she’s even had offers to stay with families here whenever we go back to Honiara. She dances with the youth and sings in the church choir, too. Olivia is intentional about each day she spends in the village, and her attitude is contagious.
