The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Part 4
Fiafia
Our final dinner at a restaurant included cultural entertainment. The fire dancers were my favorite.
Christmas Lights
An LDS family had a wonderful Christmas Lights display. Here are just a few pictures of the 15,000 lights.

Santa is Samoan! Who knew?
Senior Couples' Christmas Party
The Senior Couples on Upolu have activities on Saturday - their P-Day. Obviously, we can't attend them but it was nice to enjoy the Christmas Party while we were in Samoa. The party included games, eating & gift exchange.

Accommodations
President Hannemann was kind enough to invite us to stay at the Mission Home in Apia. The Mission Home is located inside a huge compound that includes not only the Mission Home but also the Samoa Apia Temple, Senior housing, Pegesa LDS School & housing for the teachers, & offices for the senior couples.

| That door is the entry for the GA room where we stayed |
 |
| The area in the middle of the Mission Home. Every night the missionaries would light the trees and then present a Christmas program with songs & testimonies. My only question: Where's the Christmas snow? |

The beautiful Samoa Apia Temple.
We were able to attend one session on this trip.
We had a wonderful Christmas trip and enjoyed it immensely. We made lots of new friends and had some marvelous experiences. We are especially thankful to Elder & Sister Foley who made all of the arrangements. We'll have some great memories to reminisce about when we all get back to Vernal together.
