Savaii Day 8 - Safua Hotel

My bruises started to hurt today. As long as I don’t put pressure on it it’s ok. And I did mean “bruises” – plural. I got ones on my other leg that hurt too. Mom would totally flip if she saw them, they look so bad (really, they’re ok mom haha, don’t worry). :)

We went to church this morning. I guess all the girls have to wear hats to church, which we didn’t know, so we had to wear all these ridiculous looking hats that Safua provided us lol. We looked so funny, and I’m sure the church was laughing at us as we came in. :P

Most of the day was free afterwards. Tonight after dinner, when people started singing like they normally did, the kids sang some Bible songs, like “deep and wide”. Then Sarah and I thought it’d be fun to sing “Father Abraham” for them, which the Samoans then sang back to us in Samoan. That started a sing-off of worship and Bible songs. Lasted a good ½ hour, and was so much fun. We were singing all these Sunday school songs I hadn’t sung in ages. I think that night was more fun than the fiafia, cuz it was spontaneous, and we were all having fun. :P
