Talofa lava, to our families and friends and Happy New Years(2009). Well, first of all I would like to apologize for not updating our blog for over a month. It’s really hard to try to keep it updated with how slow the internet is. Anyways here is a little update about the Covington family here in Samoa. Jeremy, the kids and I are all doing well. Were not sick any more. Doing Christmas, both Jeremy and I and the kids were all sick at the same time. Talk about Christmas presents but I’m happy to said that we are all doing good now. My parents and three brothers where here in Samoa for Christmas which was nice to get to see them again.
We spend Christmas morning at our house in Apia, but the rest of the day at the Vavau beach. We had a BBQ on the beach for Christmas with everyone not felling good, but it was still fun to get out of the house and just be on the beach looking at waves.
My parents and brothers all left already and so were now back on our normal rotine. Kavika and dad are back doing home schooling and so are Lia and I depending on the day and how Lia feels about school. So far were going onto our third month here in Samoa which is very good for our family. When we first moved into our home we decided to go to a Samoan Ward in hope that will also help Jeremy and kids pick up the language quick but after three Sundays Lia stop going to Primary and Kavika was complaining about not being able to talk to the kids in Primary.
Well, I’m happy to say that the kids enjoys going to church and to the Primary now because we decided to go to the English Speaking Ward this year and the best part is JEREMY NOW GOES TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY TOO. Now, I’m not quite sure if it’s because he loves going to church here in Samoa or is it because he’s scared to stay home by himself I haven’t figure that one our yet. Makes me wonder if we should just stay here in Samoa since he goes to church here every Sunday.
The kids especially Lia, Jeremy and I are excited and are looking forward on seeing The Lichfields in a month and a half. Lia gets up every morning and ask if their (Lichfields)coming today, and I have to tell her not for a long time and she seems to understand that. You guys have to e- mail(talacf@yahoo.com) us and keep us updated with what’s going on in the State. We love ya and miss ya!
