Dear Everyone,

Fiefia 'aupito he lava ketau toe femataaki hotau 'api he neti.

I actually told our admin team how disappointed I was to find out that our little home on the web got lock me out during its breakdown. Thankfully, it's back online, 'Oku ou fakamalo lahi atu ki he timi admin for getting us back in. It's a pity for me though that with the time flying by, I forgot the lies I made up ready for you guys. But anyway, let me get up some truths for the sake of Fatai'ekuasi.

It's not that much, happening around our Lalo Kalosipani tree . . . firstly I'm happy enough to say 'oku mau mo'ui lelei kotoa pe from aunty maliana to little saimone jr although our cold winter season is upon us here in Tonga. We are still grateful for the many help na'e tokoni mai from you families all over this poor earth, 'o lava ai kemau ma'u ha 'api mafana plus the solar system providing us with warm water (many thanks to uncle tavo and napa). 'Oku mau kei fakamalo lahi atu ai pe, 'a si'emau fiefia mo 'emau mafana he taimi momoko pehe ni. With our 'api 'i lotokolo, which Poini jr looks after, it's currently on lockup since Poini is taking his vacation in Fiji, but happy enough to know that he's back home today (as I am told), at least to make sure the house is properly looked after.

In the past few weeks, as you may have already known, there was the me'afaka'eiki 'o Vaea, kuo lava atu pea malo kuo lava atu. 'Coz that funeral has put restrictions on the social life of our village, kae malo kuo 'ata ke hoko atu e normal life 'a e fonua, hange ko e hiva kakala he faikava, va'inga 'a e to'utupu, tutua mo e koka'anga 'a e finematu'a, kae pehe ki he ngaahi ako faiva ma'ulu'ulu 'a 'emau kaingalotu katolika.

Mau fakamalo lahi atu kia Fr. 'Ekuasi for answering our curiosity regarding the raffle in Cawaci. Neongo pe ne 'ikai ke mau ma'u hamau pale, ka 'oku mau fiefia pe ke kau he tokoni atu ki homou ngaahi feinga pa'anga kehekehe kotoa pe, tuku ki mui 'etau masiva. At the moment I'm giving out dinner tickets at TOP$25 per head. Ko e feinga pa'anga 'eni 'a e kau ta'ahine taupo'ou Sevaniti, 'a ia 'oku 'i ai 'a e ta'ahine ko Tapaita. So here's the chance for any of you guys who wanna buy tickets, please feel free to let me know.

And for that, ko e ngata'anga ia 'o e ongoongo mei he Lalo Kalosipani. I am happy enough to fill you up 'aki e ngaahi ongoongo mo'oni this time, so until next time . . . stay tune.

'Ofa lahi atu

Hikosi'i
