Talofa!

Greetings from our second full day in Samoa! This is Melissa typing as Rob dictates a blog post. We had a non-eventful flight into Samoa, where we arrived at 5:30am. Everything went smoothly as we received all of our luggage and boxes with no problems. We were greeted by some students with warm hugs and beautiful handmade leis. We took the beautiful drive to the college as the sun was rising. We have new accommodations this year, which are absolutely incredible! Everyone has been enjoying the food. We were greeted by the college, Otele, then we rested and took a tour of the campus.

We took a brief trip downtown to exchange money, and when we got back, the kids greeted us. We played games and sang with them. We have also answered the question "Where's Tony (Wilson)?" at least 50 times!! We washed up for dinner and had a team devotion time, as well as played a get to know you game. Sorry this is short, but we wanted to get this out as fast as we could, and we will get today's activities out to you as soon as we can access a computer! Everyone sends their greetings and our love! More to come!
