The Sunday following Fakame is Mother’s Day, same as in
America. There is a big church service during the morning celebrating the women
and different women in the church lead the church service. Instead of going to
church I went with Meleongo to her sister’s house and helped prepare a feast
for the women. The feast was for all the women that go to the Free Wesleyan
Church in the Village Angaha (located above Tufuvai). After church all the
women came to Kato’s house and got to enjoy a large spread of food. It was a
full house! It would have been neat for me to get to see the church service,
but preparing the feast was fun. A woman that was also helping with preparation
kept saying things to me like, “Good thing you came” and “We never could have done this without you”,
which is funny. My work efficiency that day was probably equal to if they had
had a five year old there instead of me.
I also made Mother’s Day gifts with all my students. It was so fun and so cute!
