Advertisement of Jesus
Walht: incorporate the qualities that Jesus would look for in an apostle to continue spreading the word of God today.
Teacher wanted!
Loving and courageous
I am looking for a teacher who is trusting, affectionate, kind and considerate to teach young and old people how to show equality and patience. They must treat them with respect no matter what age, race or gender. This teacher must always be truthful and knowledgeable about the word of God and the many parables of Jesus used and be able to use these to continue his work in our world today.
God be with you!

After school in Tonga!
Today the article that I read, was about children that helps their parents after school in Tonga. In the article it gives us images with short phrases in Tongan that describes what the children in the image is about as they give us an idea of what they do to help their parents after school. As we compared the children in Tonga and New Zealand we can see the different types of strategies children in New Zealand are able to co-operate with their parents to make their living clean and tidy at home after school.
WALHT: Identify the differences and similarities between Tonga and New Zealand.
