Here come the Termites!

So today was Saturday morning, and we woke up and went to the Pago Pago public library. After that we went to the store and bought material to get lava lava's (skirt) and pulatosi's (dress) made. Monday, we are going to the seamtress to get measured and to tell her how we want to design ours. So if anyone has any good ideas you want to send us for how our pulatosi should be made, then please comment or e-mail us. Tonight was Korean night. Dana and Mara's parents were missionaries in Korea for a long time, so they grew up there. Let me tell you something, I would definitely not make it in Korea. We had so many different options, and I think I could tolerate one of them. Dana made it such a neat experience though, and had her special plates and dishes. She even had chopsticks for us to use. We also started talking about our trip to Apia and souveniers that we plan on getting for people. So if you have any special requests, then let us know. We are finished preparing everything for our lesson tomorrow, so be praying that it goes well and we can start forming relationships with some of the kids at church. As far as the nature goes here, the mosquitoes are pretty crazy. I thought about putting a picture of my legs up, but I thought it might make some people vomit because they are so white, but it looks almost like I have the chicken pox for the second time. Tonight when we were having dinner there were several brown flying bugs that kept getting around our food and on ourselves, and Danna told us that they were termites. The good thing is that all of the geckos that keep crawling on the walls will eat them. Another thing that we learned today was something that might happen at VBS. We were told that there would be a woman there, and if we get on to a kid, then she will be there with a stick to hit him/her. I have heard of people in the United States getting a belt to beat kids, but not in the public. I really hope that this does not happen because I wouldn't really know how to react, even though it's a part of their culture. I am enjoying some time for myself, and enjoying reading books that aren't part of school. Today almost all of the stores closed at 2:00pm, and will not open until Monday morning. Once again the lifestyle that the Samoans live is very different, and something I'm glad to be experiencing.
