We begin to loose track of days of the week or which day we visited which Family History Center, etc. It probably is old age or just the fact we crossed the International Date Line and had two Sundays this week !! Anyway, here are some more pictures and stories from the Island of Samoa.
This was the hotel we stayed in on Day 3, on Savaii, Samoa. It is quite different than the ones we stayed in on Upolu. For example, when I went to shower the morning of Day 4, there was no hot water and only a small trickle of water. Needless to say, I was soon wide awake for the day !!
The other part of our room at this hotel. And the TV actually got 1 channel (though very snowy !)
This is the outside of the motel.
Another shot of the outside with Sister Kite. It really looks much better than it was in reality.
Behind Sister Kite is the Pool. However, since no one was staying there we could have had it all to ourselves. Just didn't have time to try it out.
I tried to photo some of the tropical fish that were swimming near the shore by the motel. I only caught a couple on the snapshot that wasn't blurry. Adam can probably tell you about each of these fish.
Notice how tight we had to park our van on the ferry going back to Upolu Island from Savaii Island.
I tried to catch the sunset but I was just a little late getting to the camera to get the best light. Darn!!
This shows a fisherman casting his net and the white building in the background is the Stake Center we were visiting next.
On Friday, the 15th of October, we had finished all our work on Samoa so Brother and Sister Ah_Hoy took us to visit the President David O. McKay memorial. This is the place that Elder McKay
This is the educational complex at the David O. Mckay site.
A photo of Brother and Sister Ah_Hoy, who we grew to love dearly. What good people. Brother Ah_Hoy took several days off work without pay to chauffer us around. They were both ailing from the flu as well but that didn't slow them down.
Again, the Ah_Hoys. They have a calling to be the Family History Advisors for Samoa. They oversee all the Stake Family History Directors who,in turn work with the Family History Consultants from each Ward.
A carving of Elder McKay, who was an Apostle at the time.
These carvings on each pedistal depict a special story of the life of the early Samoa people.
This shot is of the beautiful waterfall at the McKay site. See below for better view (actually this view is better that the waterfall (or I will be in hot water from Sister Kite!)).
