Pineapple!

The weeks are flying by.  We are obviously keeping busy so don't notice the days slipping by.  We had the first full week of school with the students here.  There were assemblies, dances, and more teacher training (that we presented for).  Suddenly, the campus is alive with hundreds of people and we even have to take turns on the one-lane roads around the campus.

This week we have been busy preparing lessons for our next series of lessons.  We will start our next class on February 14th.  BYU-Hawaii EDU 312 (Effective Pedagogy).  We should have quite a few teachers take the class because now we have 23 teachers between the middle and high school that need the ITEP Certificate.

Our little pineapple blossom!

We are headed to the other Island first thing this next week to help the new couple there with some of the start up forms and files.  We will also spend the night on the beach in a fale.

We were excited to see one of our pineapple plants pushing up a fruit blossom.  I have also planted some peppers and zucchini seeds.  Our tomato plants are blooming and setting fruit.  I also have two small watermelons growing!


We send our love to all of you.  We miss you terribly but know that our time will pass quickly and we will be able to embrace our loved ones once again.  We will sign off before we have to  change the name of this blog to "Sappy in Samoa." 😊
