Talofa everyone!! Having some keyboard issues (my h only types when I write a y, so that's fun) so a quick post today of just some pictures from our Island Tour last Saturday. We had a picnic and some swim time in Auasi on the far east side of the island and then drove all the way out to Leone on the west end of Tutuila. It was the first time I got to see te village I'll be living in and the scool I'll be teaching at. Training is going well, including trying to learn Samoan, and the other volunteers are awesome!!

That's all for now, once training is done I'll have more time to write about day to day life here on Tutuila. Until then lot's of love and hugs back to the states or wherever you might be reading from.
