Tel's Faamavaega (Derek's Going Away)

One of my best friends here in Samoa recently finished his Peace Corps service. In group 74, Derek (aka Tele or Tel) headed out last week for New Zealand for awhile and then finally on back to the states. He has been one of my friends the longest amount of time as well, and I will miss him. Here are a few pictures of the night we all said goodbye to a great friend. (Miss ya Tel)

Me and Derek.

Tel decided he wanted a roast for his going away and we layed it on think. Him and Dyland reminisce one particularly good (or bad?) incident.
