- Talofa family and welcome back to another video, we hope you guys are well, we’d like to thank Each and everyone of you for watching and supporting our family channel, we’re so grateful and blessed to be your guys in our lives, this Video was suggested by a viewer, why we moved in the United State , it was so hard for us but it was possible with Heavenly Father on our side, and we hoped our story will help or inspire someone who is trying to move in the states 🥰 so we hope you’ll enjoyed watching this story as much as we did telling it, we appreciate the love and support, thanks a lot for watching, God bless and have a wonderful week ahead, much love to everyone ❤️❤️😘
Wow, that amazing. I'm Tongan from Auckland New Zealand your story is a wake-up calling to us Islanders. You promoted a lot to us. Bless you guys, May God Bless you and your family. Fa soifua!!!
I got emotional watching this. I’m first generation born and raised here in the USA. Watching the both of you be so vulnerable and transparent gave me a bigger appreciation for the sacrifices my family made over 50 years ago to move here. Thank you! All the best to you and I’ll be right here following along on your journey.
Watching your story bought me tears, thinking of my parents making that move to NZ from Samoa in the early 70's having no written or English speaking at all. Thank you for sharing.
that is a beautiful story! like all Pacific Islanders, we move for a better life because we work hard yet earn little, I am sure you can look back now and know it was all worth it and our children are enjoying the seeds of our hard work.
Didn't want to miss a word of what chef was saying, I had to watch this vedio over twice due to the subtitles going by so fast. It takes a strong man to make that move to relocate his family, where speaking reading and writing in english had to have brought on some serious anxiety but you persevered went through every roadblock and it all paid off at the end. This has got to be my favorite vedio of your family. ❤❤
so honest and being authentic. humble beginnings and hard work pays it off....
I love how real and honest your content are. It is so relatable to so many of our people who are looking for opportunities to live a better life.
Love your story ❤️❤️ God bless your family 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
It's all in God's plan for you and your family. Great story thanks for sharing it with us....God bless!
I am emotional and grateful at the same time for you both sharing your Story. My mother is from Vailoa Palauli she left when she was 18 years of Age to come to America. It was extremely tough for her especially leaving her Father & Mother behind and all her siblings but, she wanted something much more for her future and she knew that staying in Samoa she couldn’t have what she wanted or needed. Although she was Single and had no kids when she left but she gave Birth to 4-girls in the US and worked tremendously Hard to have a roof over our Heads especially being a Single parent. She has given so much to us and I commend her for it all, my siblings are all grown now and doing our own things. I commend you both on taking that leap of Faith & trusting the Lord through the Process because it is not Easy. But, Thank God for being in the Midst because without him nothing is impossible and to see the blessings pour over your Family is the Greatest Gift that God can Provide. We love You Guys❤️❤️
My dad’s is from the same village but he moved to Pago when he was 12… And they’re here in the States since 2013…❤❤❤
@@markausage5556 that’s amazing 😊
Nice to see youse enjoying our NZ lamb. We have some of the best meat exported over seas 👌
how can I order? US Washingyon
It’s simple, you wanted a better life for your children! You wanted to give them a chance at a good future! My mom did the same thing for me and my siblings. She moved us out of American Samoa to the mainland where we would have a chance at a brighter future. 30 years later my siblings and I all have established careers and our own families. My parents made a hard decision back then but it paid off and I will be forever grateful for them! Great video! Sending much alofa to you and your family!
Thank you very much for that beautiful inspiring story, see most people don't want to talk about moving abroad especially to. The USA, When they get there they say everything is easy, but you have told us the truth and that's a fact, I am part Tongan and my family lives I. The USA and strughled in the beginning, but they survived just like you and your beautiful family, May God continue to bless and guide you always, Love from Brisbane, Australia
Thank you Rita and Chef for sharing another beautiful video. Fa’afetai mo le mea’ai! ❤❤😂😂. I think your reason for relocating your family is no different from anyone else. Whether moving here to the states, Australia, New Zealand or any other country that yields better opportunities and greater advancements for our families. It’s never easy looking back and remembering the heartaches from separation and sacrifices made in order to start anew. But see the results of your decisions through your children, then you’ll remember and know that God order your steps. Alofa atu mo oulua ma le fanau! ❤❤❤❤❤
Tirow From A Very Huge Fan Of Yours,I Am Also From The Islands(Saipan) That Is...I've Been Watching Most Of Your Video's And May I Say I Love Every Each Of Them That I've Watched..But By Far This One Hits So Close To Me..I Felt Every Emotion You And Chef Is Sharing..It Takes A Strong Man To Make The Leap And A Warrior Like You To Push Him Off And Just Put All faith And Trust To GOD...God Is Good...

Thank You Chef & Rita I was once again touched by your sharing this afternoon my husband & I were watching together my husband said he went to school with you Chef in Savaii I was like yeah right 😂 I’m NZ born Rarotonga/Tahitian love watching your content & enjoying the different cooking & techniques I also shed a tear when you share your story & I’m looking forward to juicy part 2😅 take it easy keep shinning from one of your followers love to you all God Bless 🙏🏿💕
Your wife and you made a lot of sacrifices to come to America. My Dad did the same thing when he joined the US Navy and helped his family in his home country. I understand the sacrifices! But he grew up on a farm. It’s hard to leave your home where you grew up. But now that your kids are older they understand what you did for them. Last year I subscribed because I liked watching Rona cook and your family BBQs. Now Rona is married and in the Army like her two brothers and her husband. But I still enjoy watching the old videos to catch up. Now I am excited to see where you all will move to. Hopefully it is somewhere where Chef can relax and work on his health. But I am glad you are here so we can watch all the family grow up and I love all the cooking. Please take care everyone!
💙💙💙 thank you chef and mama chef that was truly a happy/lovely/brilliant storyline. I appreciate you both for sharing that bit of insight to your hardship lives that you've come from and the struggle Yous went through.. I'm from New Zealand and tbh you look like yous are doing much better then me and my family just by looking at your food 😂 that's expensive here in Auckland..I have another YT channel where I've been watching you guys for a few years now .. I love the cooking I love the baking especially the baking omg😂.. I made tree leches cake that tama had for his birthday in 1of your vids. I made it for my birthday lol and hands down that's the best cake I've ever had in my life! Much love to you both an all your children... I nearly shed a tear listening to you speak but yeah anyways bless you guys 🙏😊... Keep making yummy food and desserts to....🤙😎✌️
Oi Chef..e kusa pei upside down lou english o lei malamalama a i ou kala....and yes we as parents do things so our kids don't have to struggle....love your commitment to this... to be honest I haven't subscribed long but love the food vlogs the most..❤
We appreciate you fam. From Sāle'imoa & Iva 💚💚💚
Beautiful story of strength ❤ love and family ❤ AMEN
Love your story. Reminds me of my parents who have passed away. The sacrifices they made for us their children. I admire your courage. Blessings upon you both and your children. Much alofa all the way from NZ ❤️❤️

That’s a great testimony, Faafetai uso le faasoa. Faamanuia atu le Atua ia te oe ma le Aiga…🙏🏽❤️
I love your broken English story, and sharing the hardships and challenges faced in relocating to America. We love your videos so keep them up.😊😊
Thank you so much!😂❤️
I just wanted to say I love watching your videos and to be honest when they say don’t forget where you come from I totally get it but that’s the thing you both haven’t forgotten where you both came from showcasing your home dishes to speaking the language to your kids to just showing who youse really are and that’s why I love watching your videos. I learn new dishes for my kids and just the love you both share is amazing. Home will always be home ❤️ but what’s infront of you matters most ❤ thank you for your lovely videos ❤
Beautiful loving & hilarious Chef, kuddos to your beautiful wife Rita & the kids for their time of endurance & striving to reach a loving goal for yr family😊❤❤❤ With God all things are possible😊 God bless & stay bless family. Alofa always❤❤❤

Hello guys, new subscriber here. Just recently came up to one of your bbq videos. I enjoyed watching your cooking, looks so delicious. This is the second video I'm watching and I'm crying and smiling at the same time. Thank you for sharing your story with us viewers. I think being vulnerable and being able to share your story allows us viewers to get to know you more and connect with you even more. Thank you and blessings to your beautiful family.
Holy Grace, that looks, ono boys from the island’s💯 Aloha🤙🏄♀️🤜🏽
Wow ! so so brave. Prayers for your continued blessings..
I can relate to your story and almost relate to it.We had a business in American Samoa and a good life there, but God brought us out of American Samoa. We are more blessed today
Your shirt and genuine content is why I hit subscribe. Thanks for sharing!
Aww, humble beginnings. Vi'ia lava Iesu mea uma lava. Malo lava le saili manuia. Love you guys! God's
blessngs!
Great to see that you have grown into a beautiful woman, mother and wife Rita. Heavenly father is wonderful and has blessed you with such a beautiful family. The last time i saw you was in NZ when you were only about 7 yrs old which was many many years ago now. May our dear and gracious heavenly father continue to bless you all for your faithfulness and good works. Lots of love from your Fesolai family in Australia ❤❤❤
Awee I love y’all sense of humor 😂beautiful family ❤️
Didn’t want the story to end. Love it♥️
faafetai lava for sharing your story. Malo aoao malo faiaiga. Ae sao lava, we all came here for a better life. Samoa will always be home but we always look forward i se lumanai o a tatou fanau ma aiga. God bless.
Your story is fascinating. I'm part of your story because I grew up in Savaii where my family economy mostly relied upon selling crops. It was so hard to grow up in a place with limited employment because you couldn't sell your agricultural produce without the locals' money to buy your crops. Your reason for moving from the island to overseas is the same as me and my family. My children's education is the priority. Anyway, Chef, you got a big heart when you made a good decision for the benefit of you and your family. Fai mai lesi koeiga, o kakou o le go to luma no more koe foi I kua,,,
Came across your channel, what a beautiful story, yes it hits home for me and all of us Polynesian, my order sister and husband came to the States by themselves no families no support but have to find there way here in the states, what a sacrifice for our families to come to a different country to support and make a difference for our children and grandchildren,bless you guys and your family,

What a beautiful testimony. Straight from the heart
😭😭 ese le faigata o le Alofa o matua i fanau🥺🤍Manaia Le story ma se feau taua o loo momoli mai i la aso ia aua le ola faalolo le fanau😭🤍🤍
Thank you for sharing your story, feel really emotional knowing that it's a big challenge for us Pacific people who are doing business in our island country. The struggle is real 😫
Malo for your honesty and may God bless your family greatly and keep you safe and give you an abundant life in America
❤ awe it was to short would love to hear more! God bless your hands and everything you touch let it be blessed and full of favour ❤ love watching from Saskatchewan Canada!
Malo a, such a funny and emotional episode. Much love ❤❤❤❤❤
Love these stories. This is so true we don’t want to leave our homeland, but we do it for a better future. Look forward to the next part.
😪😪😭😭🤧 awwww love you Rita & Chef..💞💋💋 The early struggles of building a family foundation is challenging. Such as the decision making in uprooting one's family to a whole new world. I applaud you both for making that sacrifice, whether it was to sink or swim, but you put your faith in the Lord and had the courage to step out of your comfort zones to change and improve for the betterment of your childrens future. "Malo le tauivi ma le taumafai"👏👏I feel your emotions and I have cried and laughed along listening to your story of "Coming to America; the land of milk & honey" 😂 e aoga Americana mo le au galulue, but not for the au pai'ee.👍 And for you Chef, your a man of honor. A man with purpose in his life, who supports, love, protect and provide for his family. And let me not forget Rita🙎♀...There is no greater love, than the love of a wife/mother who makes sacrifices and gives her all for the benefit of her husband and children.👨👨👧👧👩👩👧👦..Chef, we all have "fear" in us. Fear of the unknown....but we don't allow it to stop us. See, you conquered your fear Chef and filled out your papers correctly on the plane✈YOU made it!!!! haha😂You're living the American Dream!!!! Cheeeeeehuuuuuuuu!!!!🙌🙌....Loved the vlog guys and I can't wait for PART 2!!❤💕..alofa atu!
God bless you and your family. You guys are doing great and you guys are very blessed by our heavenly father. Take care and God bless you I love your honesty. Soifua.

Awesome journey story family. I think it's a common theme with all those who reside outside our mother land. I know it was the same for my little famz and why we migrated to Australia from New Zealand. Def a plan of God for us and kids but we do visit home every now and then. Love it famz and as you say it's been worth it in the end for you all. Thanks for having us over for dinner and sharing your beautiful jouney with us.
