Queen Mother Halaevalu Mata'aho

Elder Condie called from New Zealand on a Thursday and asked if I could set up a meeting for the Nelson's with the Queen the following Monday. Elder Nelson had met the Queen several years ago when she came to Salt Lake City with her husband. We met in the British High Commissioner's home on the waterfront and she served lemon grass tea and a selection of pastries. She is a very gracious lady and she is loved by all Tongan's. She came to the VIP open house and really wanted to be with us at the cultural event on Satruday evening, November 3rd but she was in New Zealand for medical treatment.
