It is now Friday evening about 7:30 and we have just about finished our two weeks in American Samoa. Yesterday and today were very productive days and we accomplished a lot of work. Yesterday (Thursday) we worked in a beautiful little seaside village across the mountain called Fagasa. (see photos 1& 2 This project had been assigned to the CRWRC (Christian Reform World Relief Church) group and they had been working on house for three weeks. They ask us for help with putting on the metal roof, wiring the house and roughing in the plumbing (see photos 7 & 8)plus laying a block wall between the kitchen and bathrooms (see photo 3). Today we went back to the same village and finished up all the work we had planned to accomplish. The CRWRC group packed up their tools and went to their camp to prepare to go home to the states. Most of them will be on the plane with us on Sunday headed to Hawaii.
Also today after we finished work Brian Collins and Don Rhoades had a special project they wanted to work on for the children in the village of Masefau. (see photos 4, 5 & 6). In the entire village we did not see any play equipment for the children. You can see who the biggest children are.
Tomorrow we have some loose ends to tie up. Earl and Wayne will complete wiring and plumbing in Fagasa while Brian and Don R need to pour a set of steps in Masefau. After we complete these little jobs we will set up the seesaw for the children and see if it is as big a hit as we think it will be. Then we will come back to the compound and complete an order for two more seesaws for the school here on the compound at Happy Valley.
We look forward to heading home on Sunday and getting to see our families and all of you. We hope to be able to share in more detail with you what God is doing here in American Samoa and how he blessed us this week.
Thanks for all your prayers and support for us these last two weeks.
- Earl Creasey, Wayne Hubbard, Don Rhoades, Bryan Collins and Don Owen
