e talked about skipping church and eating a mango from a yard and he started choking on the pit. Desperate, he dropped to his knees to pray and as soon as he did, the impact caused the pit to come out. He said it was a warning to never miss church again.

All of us who had mango trees in La’ie regularly have clandestine visitors in the night who take some mangos. Not a big deal for me as we had way too many to even freeze. One funny neighbor, though, put a sign in his yard that said something like “may the same thing happen to you as Coach Sitake if you steal our mango!”
