Arrived safe and sound to Samoa! With a warm welcome from the staff..
Its so much better, and challenging that I
thought, all at once. Its beyond beautiful- and the culture is so laid
back , nice, accepting, a 'christian' nation- there is a christian song
playing right now in the public internet cafe (a samoan song). The base
is more like permanant camping :) A handful of girls in one fale, we
wash our clothes by hand, there are flies but Ive only been bit once.
It sounds like the DTS will be pretty structured with devotions from
6-7 am, breakfast, worship, and then break outs depending on the days.
We had some sort of coconut milkwith rice at the bottom for
breakfast. They want us to get in shape for the dancing part so we will start some
running/hiking etc Everyone speaks some english but some are heavily with accent that its hard to understand. Im so excited because we are from all over- Fiji, Samoa, Africa,two americans... (we read our verses and sing our praise in two languages, english and samoan) Its hot and humid here, rained a bit too which was refreshing- a lot of poofy hair days in store :) Some bugs but NO SNAKES, one of the only islands without snakes...Thanks for the prayers! I love it so far and feel blessed that I get to be a part of this great Team!
