We recently attended the Samoa Festival at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Our favorite part was watching the high school dance competition. It was very similar to the competitions we watched in Apia, Samoa while adopting our daughter Grace.

God has opened our hearts to the health challenges many Samoans face. Our goal is to empower the people through education so they can address problem areas before they become serious.

Talofa from the Huffmans,
We pray that you are having a wonderful and warm holiday season. Our first season in the islands will be very different. As we look at Christmas decorations wearing shorts and flip flops I wonder what else will change. It’s exciting to see a whole different culture sharing our Lord’s birth. As [...]

Dear Family and Friends,
We are very thankful and happy to report we are here, safe in Hawaii. We arrived very late on July 18th and moved into our two bedroom condo a few days later. The girls were able to start school only one day late and enjoy finally being part of the ethnic majority. [...]

We have continued with little touch-ups around the house… a little paint here, a little scrubbing there. We have had a steady stream of lookers at the house but only one bite. It was a low offer with several contingencies. We declined the offer and continued to pray.
During the first week of school summer break [...]

We continue to see God’s hand in many areas as we work towards our goal of moving to Hawaii by the end of June. God has blessed us in several ways financially this week. We have seen donations to the ministry increase (about 12% of budget) and we received word that we will get an [...]
