On September 29th a powerful Pacific Ocean earthquake caused a tsunami on American and Western Samoa. The tsunami hit the Aleipata district particularly hard. Within this region, is the village of Lalomanu. This is where we spent roughly 2 1/2 months of our lives. This beach fale is where we stayed and is most definitely gone now. The military is now bringing aid and searching for bodies. The death toll is around 169, although there are still many people missing. One of the articles we read led us to believe that Sofia, one of the sweet little girls who liked to come over to play with us was among the dead.
We are thinking of beautiful Samoa and praying for our Samoan friends and their hardship.
