We welcomed some friends from SITAG today! Company at the Choate Bed and Breakfast continues to delight us. One of the moms came and brought her eleven-year-old daughter with her to celebrate Sarah's birthday. Because they aren't new to the Solomons, they didn't get the big welcome on the beach with leis and singing. But some of the community did gather to shake hands, and I got to introduce them in Lavukaleve (while reading off my index card).
"Hori olang fi Kati. Kati otulav sie. Ovovou nikol mea feo hori. Hori olang fi Hana. Canada meaul feo. Otum na Lengo mil mar ekelavuri mem fin."
(Her name is Cathy. Cathy has five children. This is is first born. Her name is Hannah. The two of them are from Canada. Her husband translates Lengo.)
