Western Samoa's consul-general in Auckland and widow of the country's founding Prime Minister reflects on the troubled Christmas facing her people.
Samoans will fill the churches tomorrow to celebrate Christmas, despite their islands homeland suffering its worst ever cyclone.That is the prediction of Western Samoa's consul general in Auckland, Laulu Fetaui Mata'afa.
Laula says while there's no doubt many Samoans are suffering in the wake of Cyclone Val, they remain firm in their belief and trust in God.

Life in Tokelau is about to undergo a major change for the people of the three mid-pacific atolls which are constitutionally part of New Zealand.
They're about to celebrate the arrival of an Auckland -built 20metre long commercial catamaran-named the "Tutolu" which will operate a regular service between Faka'ofo, Nukunonu and Atafu.
The catamaran ,which can carry up to 120 passengers and 50 tonnes of deck freight, will effectively end the isolation of Tokelau's atolls which up till now have only been serviced by the monthly visit of a freighter.
Tokelau's administrator Graham Ansell was one of the VIP guests at the "Tutolu's" dedication ceremony, held recently in Auckland, and drew attention to its significance in a short speech.
