Dear Famili,

Malo mu'a ho'omou lelei. Ko e toki tuku mai 'eni e ngaue . . . it's been a tough day for me at the office. But in the end, I'm glad I still got paid. I made a last minute rush to the bank to get some money out for the Lalo Kalosipani weekend. Thankfully, I got it, such a relief. Perhaps, it's Friday itself that gives a great relaxation for us all.

Well . . . firstly, Maliana reminds me to send our happy birthday wishes to Fr.Fetu'umoana ki Peru or Fale'aisi Tavo. If I heard it right, but I think it's my uncle Napa's birthday coming up this Sunday, the 7th of February. So Happy Birthday atu Napa, and a huge massive Talofa from us all at the Lalo Kalosipani.

Secondly, 'oku mau mo'ui lelei pe. Sai pe 'a Maliana, Tiana, Fita, Maryanne, Milika mo Saimone. Mo'ui lelei pe mo Poini pehe kia Rodney Sikei mo e famili. Ko 'eku fine'eiki pe 'oku mahamahaki. Mahalo 'oku lahi pe hoha'a ki hono fatongia fakatauhi 'i he siasi. The past few days na'e lava ange ai 'a Fr. Pauli Ta'ai 'o fakahoko 'a e misa 'i he Lalo Kalosipani (on Tuesday I think . . . coz i wasn't there). Ka ko e misa ia 'a e kulupu 'oku kau ki ai 'a e ongo Fale'aisi (Maliana mo Lotiola). I don't even remember ko e ha 'a e hingoa 'o e kulupu, I think ko e Malia 'o e Losalio mahalo. But if you need confirmation, just ring them up and find out.

Well, nothing much is going on in our village. Me'a pe 'oku ou ongo'i lahi 'i he kamata 'a e to'u ako 'o e ta'u ni, ko hono heka pasi'i 'eku kaaa. Riding my car like a bus, it's not an option for me. So I don't have a choice but let them hop in. Ko e ki'i anga lau pe ia, hei'ilo na'a anga'ofa mai ha taha hena 'o wini ha'ane lotto pea ke manatu'i ke kumi mai ha'atau pasi ki hotau fonua, mo e faka'ofa pehe 'a e fefononga'aki. Sai pe, he te mou a'u mai pe pea te mou heka he pasi 'a la'iva'e mo e me'alele ko kolekole.

For our Fe'ofa'aki club, ko 'eni 'osi fakahoko hono totongi e ngaahi ako 'o 'etau sikolasipi. It's a huge expense, since our scholarship numbers have risen. But 'okapau 'oku 'i ai ha taha hena 'e fie tokoni mai ki he sikolasipi 'a e Kalapu 'a e Ngalukilo, pea let me know, kau 'oatu e ngaahi detail ki he bank account 'a e Kalapu, so you can faka'ofa'ia a, 'o deposit mai ha ki'i koini euro 'e 10 pe ha dollar 'amelika 'e taha. Ko e ha pe ha'o 'ofa, 'oku tali fiefia ia mo e loto fakafeta'i.

Anyway, that's about all for now. Teu foki a he, 'o vakai ha haka manioke 'i 'api ke ma'u . . . I'm hungry.

Ofa lahi atu kiate kimoutolu hono kotoa famili, pea mou tauhi lelei ai pe.

Malo 'aupito
