    OMG Faye the singing had me in tears. It brought back so many memories of family gatherings 😍😍. Samoans sure can sing like angels.

    Faye it’s Beautiful that you captured this. I can close my eyes & remember my Grandpa (1979) & my dAd (1998) like it was yesterday Beautiful white sand beach in Ofu Manua perfect breeze blowing as we bowed our heads in prayer.. still gives my goose bumps ♥️
    Such a high honor and so much responsibilities to hold yourself to a higher standard & conduct ones self in prestige

    As a kid in lufilufi aunty Sina, aunty kipesa and all the moemalo aiga hands down the best voices in Lufilufi. I used to love listening to them as a kid. I know for sure the aunties will jam that good sound any day. I can’t wait to head home in June 💖

      I heard they have good voices. I know Peka drowns the ladies voices at her church from her singing. Lucky them! Where was I when God was giving out the good singing voices 😖😆

    Talofa Lava Faye! I enjoyed watching your video of the Matai Ceremony! I'm maori & I was in a relationship with a Samoan guy (New Zealand born & bred) a few yrs back (we're no longer together) & we both went to Samoa to do his Matai title in 2009. It was awesome & I enjoyed every bit being there. The hospitality was beautiful & all the villagers were great. They treated us with so much respect & they looked after our wellbeing awesomely. I didn't want to come home lol. Samoa reminded me so much of my marae back in Te Urewera. My relatives still live off of the land, but unfortunately I'm more of a townie than a country girl lol. I really enjoy your vlogs everytime you post. Keep up the great vlogging & hope you have an awesome rest of your time in Sa..thanks for sharing! Tofa soifua X

    This was so nice, I've never seen this before. Different in some ways from Tonga. There was another polytube vlogger there Faye. Tuxx and Sera. Oh those baked goodies look so good and the Samoan hot cocoa. I think the Stewarts made those donuts with the cream in the center. I'm so happy you are having such a nice and special time in Samoa. Ofa atu

      And it turns out that Tuxx is family. Small world and it was in their vlog that I noticed Tuxx Family is also my family.

    Im always looking for videos of Falefa (Dads Village) and you're videos always come up. I thought what the heck, just watch. Lol...So I love you're videos and spirit. 😁I never been to samos in my life, born and raised in the states, my dream is to make it there and learn more of his village as he carries a few titles there (Tuiatua tologataua, Manu'a, Fatalevave). My grandparent and great grandparents are also buried in falefa. Its embarrassing being his daughter with having little to nothing knowledge. But my father talks so highly of home,his childhood, history and everything in between. I get excited even if you're just passing by, hoping you can actually film there one day. Thank you so much for sharing awesome video's!! God bless💙
