Our Institute president, House (Fale), and Taua lead our Institute.
Genesis and Elder DaBell pass out water, after a hot day of helping the Red Cross.
All the young adults ride in the back of pick-up trucks to Leone and Amanave, then back to Mesepa Chapel.
We are exhausted, but so glad to help, and enjoy being together.

Monday, October 12, 2009 (even Ezra's birthday) was a holiday from school. The Institute young adults heard that the Red Cross needed help in gathering information from those affected by the tsunami; many losing their homes. We didn't know how many would show up, knowing they only had 3 days notice. We thought they would want to begin in the late morning. Oh, no; they suggested 6:30 a.m. They came from all over the island and even Aunu'u; arriving as early as 5:30. We received a call at 6:00 in the morning, asking "Where are you?" It was a glorious experience, to be with over 75 young adults, who just enjoyed being together.
