The Good Samaritans






So after an overwhelming unforgettable night...we woke up earlier than we have probably the whole entire 5 weeks we've been here. And David took us to NuuUli to start the Volleyball tournament. We played with the Good Samaritan Team. It was all girls today..the boys played Friday. We played for like 5 hours...not a joke. The court is just cement and the Samoan way is of course...Do you wanna guess?? Yep, your right without shoes. So, Melinda and my feet are red, sore, and got some pretty sweet blood blisters. It was lots of fun..I haven't played that much non-stop since high school. Taking me back in the day. We then said our final goodbyes and got on the Inga bus...this was our 1st time...yeah we were definitely a little nervous, but we got there perfectly and you have to knock on the side of the bus (which is actually a truck with a huge wooden bed with benches people sit in and the radio blastin'). It was a really good experience. I'm not ready to leave...it seems like right when we are getting accustom to America Samoa we have to leave...bummer...but I take with me memories, unforgettable experiences, God's beauty in a different light, lessons learned, and new friends. I'm aquiring a taste for some of the food too...funny/scary the girls who don't eat any vegetables.
