this is my samoan host family. from left to right it is my brother esela, mother vineta, father pati (robert), sister delilah, brother feleki (fred), my little brother lope(robert), sister gasetoto, and little bro marvin. marvin is actually a grandson. his mother lives in new zealand but being the first born, he was given to the grandmother (vineta) to raise. not sure how common that is, but its certainly not uncommon either. this pic was taken at the house in neiafu-uta where pati, esela, delilah, and mormon missionaries live. i mainly live with vineta and my little brothers at their other house in neiafu-tai. gasetoto is a teacher in Apia, and feleki goes to Nat'l University of Samoa in Apia. Delilah is an 8th grade teacher at the Neiafu Primary School where marvin and lope go to school, also where i try to help out. not really sure if im helping though. vineta and pati run their two stores at their two houses.
