Elder Love's Samoan Adventures

Another day (week) another dollar as they say! this week was awesome! our friend failautusi was baptized and confirmed!! story: one of our friends named siupolu needs to be divorced from her first husband in order to get married to the husband that she is with now, so we got the information about her ex husband on the other side of island and went and visited him. they have 4 children together and all of them are living with their dad. we asked the dad if he could go with siupolu (his ex) to the government and get a divorce, and he said he could. then he threw siupolu under the bus and said the reason why they got divorced was because she cheated, and he asked us if the church could pay for the divorce cuz she was the one who "sinned". we were kinda disappointed in siupolu, cuz she never disclosed that to us. we go back to siupolu and ask her her side, and she told us that the husband lied!! the husband actually cheated and he has been lying to the kids for about 10 years, sa

Update on all our friends who we are teaching: Selina : was married last week and baptized, we are now helping her get excited for temple marriage Siaosi : was baptized about 3 weeks ago, still strong with his wife and kids to church. i love this guy Vaeluaga : a 9 year old who was forgotten and not baptized. she is the best, she will be baptized next week Tasi : a nice young woman who is getting married on friday and baptized on saturday. i think i will be able to baptize her in the ocean!! hopefully Mose : getting married next week, we are finishing up his lessons. he is awesome and sooo respectful Siupolu : we are working on her divorce, so her marriage process will take a little longer. we are going to help her and hopefully next month she will be baptized Tupe : he is the man. he is giving up smoking. his girlfriend who is a member now wants to marry him. they are getting married next month and baptized on march 7.
