Visit to American Samoa
We decided to visit American Samoa during our break to see the Senior Missionaries there.
Taking Off - we hooked up with the Rees'
American Samoa is made up of the large island of Tutuila where most of the people live with the city of Pago Pago. Manua is made up of two islands - Ta'u and Ofu. Plane only go to Ofu once a week, we decided to just go to the island of Ta'u. The flight was fun in a small plane.
Met with Elder and Sister Wilde
Hike at Ta'u
After the hike we met some members and had a little niu (coconut water)

Back to explore Tutuila
On Tutuila we have 4 Senior Missionaries serving. (The Anthons, Sister Kirkam, and Sister Westinshow.)
