Last week we noticed a HUGE cruise ship in the Pago Harbor. Tourists were everywhere. Some explained to us that they had been on the ship for almost four months and were headed home to New Zealand or Australia. They cruised to Egypt, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and everywhere in between. As we drove home to Mesepa from Pago I reflected on their experiences vs. our experiences as missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Samoa. Our mission cost less, last longer (18 months vs. 4 months), and will have a greater eternal significance in our lives. Traveling is fun. We traveled to Samoa; got to know the people better as we lived among them and taught Institute; and more importantly; got to know our Savior Jesus Christ in a more personal and intimate way. For this we am eternally grateful.

That's crazy people would be on a cruise ship for four months, I don't think that sounds too fun. The pictures look great. We went to Aunu'u too it was beautiful. Love you.
