ELDER MATUA AND ELDER UTA'I

This is the look on Wilson's face as he realizes that the Elder standing next to him is his cousin. Elder Uta'i (Oscar) is serving in the same mission in New Zealand. Elder Matua's paternal grandmother, Faleupolu Fetalai Uta'i Matua, and Elder Uta'i's paternal grandfather, Nuualiitia Tauamanu Uta'i are brother and sister. This marks the third time in our Matua family history that a Matua is serving with an Uta'i at the same time, in the same mission. My sister Teuila served in the Samoa Apia Mission with Uta'i cousins, Faamoana and Moira. And my brother Seti also served in the Samoa Apia Mission with Uta'i cousins Risati, Tauamanu, Sifaga and Polotisano. SO AMAZING!!! All I can say is that GOD is SO GOOD!!! By the way, Elder Uta'i (pictured above) has a sister, Luisa, who is currently serving in the Utah Salt Lake City East mission, and is actually heading back home to Samoa tomorrow as she completes her mission. I'm sure Wilson will run into some more family as he makes his way around the mission.
