While we are busy serving and realizing what God has for us here in Samoa we also having many fun stories that I will never forget; like our hikes, swimming, and drives around the island that.
One of the most recent fun experiences was getting to watch the latest U.S. World Cup match against Albania. Last night at 3 a.m. Samoan time my team leader Tyler and I woke up to watch the U.S. soccer team play for their chance to advance into the final 16 teams of the World Cup. Taking a flashlight to scare away the man-eating dogs we made our way to a small building built onto the traditional Fale' Samoa (an open hut like protection from the rain) here at the school. Tyler and I watched the U.S. beat Albania in the second minute of added stoppage time, creating a dramatic 1-0 game that kept us on the edge of the old van bench seat and leaning closer to the 12" TV for a better view. I will always remember this game and this world cup as the one I got to watch in Samoa, on a van seat, in a small shack, I would have it any other way. GO USA!!!
