Greetings from Samoa. We are now on the last week of holiday and third term will start again next week. This week is the Teuila Festival Week in Samoa, the equivalent of Heilala Week in Tonga. There are lots of activities and as usual the beauty pageant. A grandaugther of Lu'isa, Marie Tupou, is one of the beauty contestants.
