What an amazing opportunity it was to return home to Samoa this past June 2026 to pick up our daughter as she completed her mission in the Samoa Apia Mission. It was a special and memorable experience for our family, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve and connect with others along the way.

Fa’afetai tele lava to Pesega and Vaiola Church College and the Pathway program for the warm welcome and hospitality extended to my husband, Lome and me. We had the wonderful opportunity to meet with your students and prospective BYU–Hawaii applicants. We are truly grateful for your support and kindness and for allowing us to share information about BYU–Hawaii, the educational opportunities it offers, and how we can support students as they pursue their educational goals and prepare to live and lead in Oceania and the Asian Rim.

BYU–Hawaii is a great opportunity to help you reach your educational goals and prepare for your future, both academically and spiritually. You can do it! We want you! Please don’t pass up this wonderful blessing and golden opportunity. APPLY NOW! 🌺 🩷

Talofa lava!

My name is Taputailo Ufi, though most people call me Tapu or Tailo. I come from the beautiful islands of Samoa. I am a senior at BYU–Hawaii studying Biology, surprise! I came here with two goals: to earn a higher education and become self-reliant. Through the IWORK program, those goals became possible. But I never imagined I would live away from home for four long years. Now, I can proudly say, I did it! More than earning a degree, BYU–Hawaii taught me that I am capable of more than I imagined.

My BYUH journey has been full of surprises. A prayer to see my brother led to my first solo trip and opened the door to many more adventures. One of those adventures was going on a church history trip facilitated by BYU–Hawaii. This church history trip strengthened my faith by helping me see church history in a personal way and reminded me that Jesus Christ has always walked with His people and He walks with us today. I also came to BYU–Hawaii planning to study Hospitality and Tourism Management, but before classes began, I changed my major to Biology; the strangest thing I could have chosen to put myself through for four years! Through the challenges, I learned one of my greatest lessons: I can do hard things. Growing up in a hardworking Samoan family also prepared me to work and study, turning the skills I learned at home into lessons in resilience and self-reliance.

Somehow, I became more than a student, I became a temple worker, a traveler, a hiker, and someone willing to step beyond what I thought was possible. My journey from Samoa to BYU–Hawaii has not always been easy, but it has been full of purpose. I did not let where I came from decide where I could go. I trusted God, accepted the opportunities He placed before me, and kept moving forward. If I had to tell you what carried me through this journey, it would be the knowledge that God believes in me. Because He trusts me, I choose to trust Him in all things.

🇰🇷Korea & 🇯🇵Japan, 감사합니다! ありがとうございました!

It was a privilege to participate in a joint education collaboration with the Asia North Area, BYU–Pathway Worldwide, and BYU–Hawaii. Brooke Peterson (berodda), Vice President of Advancement, and Maurice Moʻo (mauricemoo), Strategic Enrollment Senior Manager, represented BYU–Hawaii at the Japan FSY and South Korea YSA conferences along with information sessions in Osaka and Seoul.

The true highlight was meeting inspiring youth and young adults—especially BYU–Hawaii alumni who have returned home to bless their homes, Church, and their communities.

What a joy and privilege to be part of this great work! 다시 만나요! また会いましょう!
