This is Ashley Stone and you're listening to the Comeback Podcast. Well Peter I'm very excited to have you on the podcast. The story that you

emailed us was awesome and I'm excited for the world to hear it.

So yeah, let's start out with just kind of a little bit about you and then we can jump into your story.

First of all, I want to thank you for this opportunity to come share my story, my testimony.

I love my saving my Heavenly Father so much that whenever the opportunity is given I got to take full advantage of it so so appreciate it.

All right well my name is Peter Affamata. I'm Samoan my parents are Old Moana

with my tour and Affamata and Dora-Moya-I-Mata. They're from South Moiayahya, Afmata. They're from Samoa, they came.

Actually, I don't know what year they came, but from South Moore to America, but they

traveled as a family with my dad's siblings.

They went from Samoa to Hawaii,

then Hawaii to San Francisco,

for San Francisco to Compton, California.

And that's where they started to migrate. But everywhere they went, each family member stayed.

What's so interesting is that my grandfather was the one who, my dad's father, was the first one who allowed the church to establish there.

Because it was LMS at the time, and then he was the first one that allowed the missionaries to you know to preach

the gospel there and it wasn't too happy with him and so one thing I love about that

is that he's a pioneer he's a pioneer to us so you know for us to continue on that

legacy it means a lot to me. I have seven siblings I'm the youngest of eight. Married

to my beautiful wife Sabrina Aframatta for 23 years, have five

children. We can say adopted. We can get into that story later on. We adopted another child

into our family who blessed us in many ways I can't explain.

But we'll definitely talk about that later on.
