Manuia le aso sa o tama....Oh your not fluent in Samoan...It means Blessed Father's Day!!

Today is Father's Day. Most of the dad's where ula's (which are the necklaces made from real flowers...who would've thought that was even possible coming from Texas and they last for weeks because the flowers are so nourished with water). And if they didn't have an ula some dad's had these awesome contraptions that I hope to bring back and make popular in the U.S.. Picture this the netting that you would get a fish from the store out of the bowl with, and then different candy bars in the netting tied up with ribbons to make a necklace...awesome!! Bible Class was really fun and very short we barely had time to finish our craft. David, the preacher, had a polongi-white person, have 6 different dads with 6 children up at the front and the visitor had to try to match the dad with their correct child...the Samoans loved it. He related the object lesson to the fact that since we are God's children people should be able to tell that we are different than non-Christians. The Samoans really connected to this. The singing was again amazing and more heart felt than when I sing. Well...the kids are always excited to see us which gives a person huge joy to feel wanted, loved I'm sure God wants us to be that excited when we get to talk to Him, something I need to work on. That is what the Tafuna church is like....people who are lover's of God and people who are willing to help out each other with no questions asked!
