WHERE WERE YOU?

We were on our way home from the burial of my nephew in Nebraska when the news broke that an 8.3 earthquake hit the “Mother Land (The Islands of Samoa).” I was in disbelief. An earthquake, it can’t be, I have heard of hurricanes and tsunamis but an earthquake? It can’t be, the wheels in my mind started turning and as the info was being processed, my feeble little mind started flashing horror flicks, the islands have been submerged underwater and there are no survivors.

THANK GOD my mind was not the producer of the scenes that would follow or it would have been a more horrific aftermath. As more info was relayed over the media broadcasts, my mind rested and my heart returned to a normal beat-all is not lost, we will rebuild, we will survive for we have “MANA MAI LE ATUA,” Power from God!

Condolences and prayers for our beloved families that have lost a loved one; our thoughts and heart are with you as you walk through the “valley of death.” “Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted.” Our hope and prayer is, “may God’s presence bring you peace and may His spirit comfort you through your journey.”
