The tsunami that struck Samoa in September 2009 took my grandson. It took my sister's son. I lost my home, two cars, and almost everything I owned. Nearly our entire village is moving into the hills so that this doesn't happen again.
I know God loves those who survived because, through the Church, He has given us new homes, food, and water. I know He loves those who did not survive because, through His power, we can be together again. We have been blessed.
