Stake Bazaar and Virgin Cove

Stake Bazaar 

This year our Stake has been stressing Self Reliance.  The Stake sponsored a bazaar in the town square for members to sell some of their handicrafts, foods, etc.  

Setting up the booths 

Each ward was provided a booth for members to set up and sell items.  

Bud can't resist items had made by the youth.   

This young women made a necklace out of nuts.  


Karen couldn't pass by the Christmas booth.  

Yes, even in Samoa we have Christmas snowmen!!  Of course, Karen needed to support the local economy by purchasing a hand made wooden snowman.

Virgin Cove

A favorite beach site is Virgin Cove, which was originally a backpacker hostel.  A Canadian now leases the property and plans to develop it into a resort.  At the end of his 40 year lease he must turn the land back over to the village.

The area has lovely fine sand beaches.  It was used to film Survivor Australia this year and last.

 Pools with coral and fish


At low tide small fish get trapped in this pool area, and we could just watch them without masks or snorkels (and feed them a bit of bread, too).  


Crab holes 

We saw tons of holes in the beach, which are homes to crabs.   

Fallen Tree

 This huge tree blew over years ago; yet it continues to sprout branches and leaves.
