While I was in Samoa I made a friend.
She's a beautiful young woman I met at church- and she's amazing at English, so she helped translate a lot of our Sunday school class.
Her name is Taugata, isn't she darling?
Taugata is very warm and friendly and compassionate.
She is a beautiful dancer, a wonderful English speaker, and a very lovely friend.
When we parted, it was very sad. I miss her so so much!
But I promised her I would see her again- maybe by the time I go to Samoa I'll have a 16 year old of my own, and she'll have one too.
Then we'll have a lot to catch up on.
