We wee also able to drive around the mountain areas and see some wonderful views. See some pictures below of today's adventure.
(Village wiped out - Where the FEMA tents are used to be houses)
(More of the same village)
(Cars in the village)
(The school in the village)
(Inside the school)
(Encyclopedia found in the school)
(Church in the wiped out village - only building standing)
Now for some of the more pleasant sights:
(Starkist cannery is hear)
(The village below had a significant amount of damage)
(Water is falling off of the mountain)
Those are just a few of the things we saw today. It was a long and amazing day to see all parts of the island.
Tomorrow (Sunday) is our last day on the island.... or should I say, last planned day on the island. The flights in and out of Pago Pago tend to not be on time. Last Sunday the flight scheduled to leave at 11:15pm didn't leave until 3am. If that happens to us we will miss out connecting flights. I am not worried about it at all because I know that God has it in His control and we will get home right on His timing. Just ask for your continued prayers of support and safety.
My goal is to continue on with this blog after I return home. Not sure how that will go and how often that will be, but that is what I feel lead to do at this time. So, I should be able to give one more update about Sunday before I go, then it is a day of travel.
Thank you again and God Bless... Billy
I am looking forward to the day you will share your mission trip with us, your home church in Morristown, AZ.
