Dearest Sophie,

Oh our little darling girl. Someone commented that you are like a little 2 year old turning 10. It’s amazing to see how much you grow each month, not just physically but emotionally, spiritually and intellectually.

We’ve just arrived in Vanuatu a week ago and it seems like you’ve settled in pretty well. You are eating well, actually much better than back in NZ, maybe coz the food is similar to what you get back in Singapore e.g rice/root vegetables with dishes plus lotsa fruits. You are sleeping relatively ok, sometimes you get up in the night either with a nightmare or sometimes you are just feeling itchy. It’s been really hot and it’s so hard to keep you clean all the time. But still, we are really proud of how you are adjusting.

We have been really tickled at how you are picking up the Bislama language and making the locals laugh at your attempts to speak it and also how you are willing to sit in the pram which happens to be in a terrible condition and be dragged in it over potholes and mud.

Oh it’s really so hard to keep you clean and prim and proper in the village but thank you for showing us how to live and be content in every situation.

Thank you for being our wonderful little girl and thank you for being so loving and willing to share (ok at least 50% of the time, hiak!) with the little ones around. We are so proud of you and we love you no matter what!

Love
Mommy
