Fua ma Fia

Fua invited us to her home.

She teaches marketing classes at the American Samoa Community College. In her home she sell ladies clothing and shoes, and has a picture of the temple displayed to remind those who shop to dress modestly so we can attend the temple.
Many who shop are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints; and she talks freely about our church and beliefs.
Sandals are a delightful change from usual flip-flops or slippers (se'evae) as they call them.
She sells skirts, blouses, and dresses, of all sizes.
After I enjoyed her shop, the young elders arrived for dinner. Her husband, Fia; a chef by profession, cooked us a delicious Samoan meal. We had a great time visiting and eating...
ham, chicken, shrimp, rice, taro, breadfruit, macaroni salad, and pineapple pie for dessert.
Their daughter (left) attends Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Fia, the chef, and Fua, his sweet wife.
Sister DaBell, and their sweet daughter who was home on holiday. She said the first thing she does when she returns home is eat, eat, eat. She loves Samoan food and of course, her father is a chef.
