Tightrope growing vines.
Samoan children are so happy and fun loving.
This darling girl in a Pago Pago ward was at a baptism we attended.
These cute girls played a game with five rocks each. It's like 'jacks', but the ball is a rock, and you throw it up, collect the other rocks, and catch it before it hits the ground.
The door to the stairs made me laugh.
These flowers and leaves are found on the island, and most women know how to make floral arrangements. Every Saturday the roadside stands sell arrangements to decorate the churches on Sunday.
The nets are repaired in this fishing yard.
My Mother-In-Law grows these trees INSIDE her home.
Samoan people go to church on Sunday. Many religions - many churches.
This sweet lady weeded the flower garden at the airport and stopped us to say Talofa.
He is ready to cut the grass. They use weed line trimmers, because the ground is uneven, and a mower would never survive. When there is no cloud cover, it gets very hot and you must cover yourself from the pounding sun.
He too, is protecting himself from the hot sun - a box as a hat. We have seen people shade themselves from the sun with an umbrella, hat, shirt, lava lava, cardboard box, leaf, and a backpack. After we discussed in Institute how powerful the sun is - especially in Samoa; we read Doctrine and Covenantants 88:7. Jesus Christ..."Is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made." We worship The Son Jesus Christ more, because we witness the power of the sun.
This gas station is selling cheap gas...
and brooms for sale. I love these brooms for decoration; but they use them to sweep the leaves and grass in their yards. They work very well.
The banyan tree died, yet the trunk remains. Young banyan tree roots grow down the host tree towards the ground. The roots grow and tighten around the host tree and eventually engulf it completely.
Another gorgeous view of the harbor and boats.
"The boys" as Mao calls them, planted a hedge at the church. To protect the new starts, a fence was built. This wonderful man painted the fence.
I don't think these cars have been driven in a while. What do you think?
I love the Cost-U-Less cat that greets us when we shop.
