This is the first book of the 4 John Groberg series (I read the 3rd one first). It is also a movie called, "The Other Side of Heaven". And this is by far my favorite of all his books. It is WAY better then the movie and truly had me falling in love with the Tongan People. Elder Groberg served a 3 year mission to the Tongan Island and stayed mainly in 2 locations; Niuatoputapu (a small island of 200 people), and Ha'apai Group of Island (14 small islands close together). He is told to learn the language and preach the gospel. How he accomplishes this is truly amazing. He falls in love with the Tongan Culture and then learn to love and respect the "Mormon Missionary". I learned a lot about how the Tongan Cultural works, and a lot about my own testimony.
