Devotion Time....













Star brought the devotion this morning. We then headed to dads village Vavau (this is where dad has his matai title) which is about an hour and a half away. It was a long drive, more so because we stopped at heaps of village shops to try and find anyone selling water which ended up being a hard assignment, most of us ended up buying bottles of coke! We also bumped into mums cousin Leuire. We met dads cousin (who dad says is very business savvy and has a good mind when it comes to business dealings, hence the resort) and he took us to Vavau beach. This beach is absolutely beautiful, words can't describe it, just take a look at the pictures!!! It is secluded and has self contained cabins which haven't been used as they are planning on busting these down and building a resort come September. Poor Taf was sick!!! We spent the day there and dads family cooked us up a huge meal which we ended up bringing back to Kitano for a shared dinner. It was a long day and it ended up raining on the way home. It was nice end to the day spending it with everyone!!!
