Papaya grow in the center of the tree. They are most delicious with lemon juice. Try it, you'll like it.
Who needs flowers in a flower arrangement. Sugar cane added to leaves made a beautiful sight.
Palm trees are sooooo TALL.
Our new van holds the missionaries packages very nicely. Are we in the postal service,...or what? We are professionals. We know how to box, package, and tape perfectly. When we return home we will send our Sweet Niece Nicole in Nicaragua (that's a tongue twister) some wonderful care packages while she serves her mission.
We would love to build a room like this at the Malaeimi Chapel which is 22' X 44'. We are already dreaming of preschool, quilting classes, Thanksgiving feasts, ping-pong tournaments and gingerbread decorating. What socials we will host!
We had an assignment that took us to the 'Office of Vital Statistics.'
I love the sign on the partition.
Next to the palm tree, is a 'ulu breadfruit tree. Breadfruit is a staple in the Samoan diet, like our potato. About ten years ago, Pres. Hinckley blessed this land; that the breadfruit would produce all year long if they stayed righteous. It does. Someone from Fiji told us, in their country breadfruit ripens in seasons.
I love this natural wooden fale. 
Just another view in paradise. In the distance (far right) is the island of Aunu'u.
Everything grows here. Even plants on other plants. If we stood still long enough, plants would grow on us. Oh, they do - fungus. 
Another car, used as a flower pot.
Two sailing ships anchored in Fagasa Bay.
It looks like someone wanted two trees, instead of one. So.. they cut the top off, planted it next to the bottom. Voila - two trees.
