WHY WE MOVED OUT OF WA & HOW MUCH WE SPENT ON OUR MOVE

[@Me-wq7jc]

I’m Mexican and I would adopt your Samoan family in an instant we have similar values. God bless

[@desert5am098]

Where did you move to?

[@nichline]

This family deserves 1 million subscribers 😭

[@KealanuiOkeAkua]

You're right, just smashed the sub button, let's go!!!

[@hoperopeti1394]

One thing I love about this family is how genuine they are. "They are REAL" They don’t pretend to live a fancy life but are happy with what they have and the strong bond they share. Lord bless you all.

[@seansmith9435]

I love this family especially when they all help each other and do things together..Rona is a good role model to the young ones..!!respect to this family from Tonga 🇹🇴

[@ppalalainusa1540]

Ummm, you mean Samoa?

[@leimanaabenes7]

OKA FEFE!!!

[@olefalaimaukegi]

​@@ppalalainusa1540 I think he means he's from Tonga lol

[@John-ng8mr]

I’ve been following this family for over 2 years without subscribing or commenting. I can no longer resist anymore but to be part of their journey. I really appreciate their humility and it makes me miss home, American Samoa. I hope your health continues to get better chef and god bless your Ohana.

[@Izastwin]

You guys are the epitome of how a family should be, when times of need and times are tough you rally together to do what needs to be done. Chef stop talking about going anywhere cause you’re gonna be here to teach your kids so much more for so much longer. May the Good Lord continue to bless all of you. Sending much love from Australia🙏🏾🧡

[@MiraclePeleti]

You guys don’t have to answer to anyone! But the fact that you guys are so transparent with everything, it’s so beautiful… so humble. Your house is coming.. the Lord always looks after his children. You guys are such an inspiration. Bless you guys ❤

[@Me-wq7jc]

I agree I love their realness and transparency. I have raised my sons the same way. Very family oriented we do everything together. They r 21 and 24 now.

[@maryfilivaa7172]

Ive just subscribed to your channel today. Hubby and I are from New Zealand and we love watching your videos. Keep them coming. God bless your family. One thing we admire o le lelei o le faasamoa a nai lua alo, keep our gagana alive. Alofa tele atu ma ia faamanuia le Atua ♥️

[@pfilms4611]

Everyday when I get home from work I turn on KZbin & see if y’all have uploaded. Yall videos are so funny& heartwarming to watch. What a beautiful humble family. So giving and loving. If I ever win the lottery I will buy y’all a house without a doubt. Please put your guys PO BOX or anything where we can send y’all gifts etc even better team let’s make a gofund for that 2 car parking house 😅 When I have a family this is the type of loving one I want to create. Cant wait to see what more adventures & memories yall make in TX. Much love

[@leasiosiomatini3345]

Me too , they are so special 💕💕 love watching their videos..Dad is a humble man and the mom is a great and a strong mother of them all. Their children are their great supporters , helping and playing together, team work, but hats off to the princess of the family Rona , always cooking or helping her parents of cooking and preparing food for the whole family 💕💕💕💕💕

[@genawatson4489]

I happen to come on to your channel watching KZbin yesterday. I want to say Welcome to El Paso 😊 even though I have only watched a few of your videos. I know you are a loving and blessed family. I really hope you learn to like El Paso. My family and I moved here from California 19 years ago. God bless you and your family. I really enjoy your channel.

[@cookingwithrona8955]

Oh thank you!🙏 much love ❤️

[@regina8650]

Enjoyed watching this from Auckland, NZ! It’s a Friday night our family movie night and we’ve just finished watching this 🥰 Love seeing how close your family are! Amazing parents to your kids ❤ it speaks volumes how your older kids always want to spend time with you 🫶🏽 and are always there to help you xx

[@noragayac1751]

I have friends that have lived in Texas for years & they love it! One lives in El Paso & the other one lives in Brownsville. Only complaint they have is the weather! No matter the amount of money you make per hour at a job if you know how to budget, cut out all unnecessary spendings & focus on the necessities that you need to survive you’ll be able to survive on your salary! I pray everything you guys are planning falls into place! Proverbs 3 vs 5/6 always reminds me that if you trust in the Lord with all your heart & lean not on your own understandings and in all your ways acknowledge him, he will direct your path! Good luck with everything Cooking with Rona Family!! Btw the food looks so good!! Stay safe & blessed out there! 🙏🏽❤️

[@johntui4387]

Chef and Rita, that was a good move to El Paso! I spent more than 10 years stationed there on Fort Bliss!! I really enjoyed living there! I stayed at the Northeast side and it was a beautiful place!! We use to run that Trans mountain path!! El Paso is much affordable then Washington!! And there are a lot of Samoan there!!! You are in a good place!!!!

[@sammie052281]

Chef and family you are such an inspiration! The strength it took to up and move from WA to TX. Moving from Samoa and look where you are now. Change is always scary, being in a new place is scary but together you guys will make it! Looking forward to more videos 🥰

[@florentinolaloulu4349]

Congratulations on your move! I love how you stepped out by faith on your move. Trusting God and knowing that He will lead and guide you and your family through it all. Malo lava! Keeping your family in prayers!

[@villaindeku9549]

Thank you for sharing. I had this nagging feeling to move to WA from UT because I hate hot weather. You are the answers I needed from Father God. Seeing your experiences especially as a Samoan family is helping my family too. We are only a family of four but still have the struggle of trying to find affordable and safe place especially for my growing kids' future. I pray and trust God will always be with my kids, but can't help as a mother to still try to help secure a better future for my babies. Great video family. Thank you again for sharing. I'm so glad I found you through the fruit cocktail recipe video. I look forward every video to see what you are all up to and what information I can use for my family. Praying that El Paso will be great.

[@j.a4923]

You guys don’t have to explain anything to anyone it’s you guys life 💯I love how use don’t let what people say affect your life ,god bless always fams ,always be following no matter what all love 🙏🏽❤️

[@fiaemerson104]

You both look amazing! Way to go on this health journey TOGETHER 🎉❤

[@whooshkaboomie]

You're a good man Chef. Do your Best and keep punching. Stay healthy, eat well and always make time for yourself to rest and relax . May God Bless you and your Family.

[@TS-pj9xg]

Beautiful family, like heaps of other comments, I love how you all work together as a family unit. Stay strong and be blessed. Love from a Samoan living in Melbourne Australia.

[@mafasami2189]

Thanks for the great video CwR aiga! all glory & thanks to the Lord for bringing your family all the way from WA to El Paso TX safe. I take my hat off to you chef because you came all the way from Savaii to Am. Samoa then Hawaii now you & family are well settled but you NEVER give up👍. A big fa'amalo Rita & kids, such a great Team work.💯

[@asomaliugrant4395]

[@mariet14]

My husband and I enjoy watching y’all’s videos! Also kinda late but welcome to Texas. I’m so happy y’all are here. I’m down by the Fort Cavazos area. The whole time y’all were traveling I kept saying I hope they come to Texas! lol. I also wanna say thank you for putting the English subtitles on because I don’t know the Samoan language.

[@kisalei]

Such a blessing to follow this YT channel❤ Love this family since day 1🥰 Much aloha🌺to you. Please keep up the pursuit of health and happiness❤ We are all rooting for you🙏🏽🙏🏽 *that said, please don't let the comment sections on your wholesome videos negatively impact or effect you😢 Its so brave of you to put your family on PolyTube!! Its sadly easy for viewers to put out 'advice' or some sort of criticism but its also condescending and you don't deserve that at all. Your family is an INSPIRATION❤💯

[@robglo7173]

One of the realest families on social media today! Amazing journey famz like what chef would say everytime he’s happy about something especially with food lol “I like it” 😂 Keep em coming and appreciate your guys heart humour and honesty on your why🙏🙌 Alofa atu Robz Glo n the J5crew❤️

Chef and Rita. Heavenly father will always provide for you. He will never let you down. God has a plan for you and your family. Everything will work out the way it should. Keep faithful. Things will get much better. It must have been very hard leaving WA but now that you have, everything will be ok. I have watched documentaries about Texas and there are good doctor's and hospitals there Chef. It's a new beginning. A new chapter in your family life. I pray for an abundance of blessings upon your family and send you Love and light from Aotearoa NZ. Be strong Chef and Rita. Love you all beautiful family 💕 XX

Awww … Chef, Rita and family! You’re always so open and transparent; that’s what I love about your videos. Honestly I’m so glad you left the state of Washington. Prices of homes and inflation are similar of California. Scripture tells us there’s a time for everything! This was your time to move, especially due to your health. This is indeed the best move you have ever made!! We republicans must stay together 😂😂😂😂😂. Alofa atu mo oulua ma le fanau. May our Savior continue to order your steps and open every avenue he planned for your family!! Blessings!!

I wish the best for your family and your health. Thank you for your contributions to our great nation- I hope this hard work yields for you and your family everything that you ask for.

[@arlenet7462]

Hello from CA! I’m thinking Chef that when you are in the hospital maybe you are sensitive to the pollutants and whatever else gets trapped in there. And along with being around sick people also there you get exposed to germs and weakens your immune system. When I was younger I was a banker and I found out when I was older I was allergic to the molds in the air conditioning. It’s a drastic change in weather and much drier in Texas. Just make sure you always carry lots of water of Gatorade and snacks since you all are taking long walks. And if Chef starts coughing a lot or doesn’t feel well make sure he gets checked by a doctor. But I am glad he changed his diet and that is helping him a lot. Life always changes. But you are all a strong family. Continue to help and watch out for each other. I’m glad the older kids are helping out their parents. Everything will work out just take your time, relax, focus on your health so you can enjoy watching the little ones grow up. That little Gardenia makes me laugh so much! Big change from when I started watching Rona and her cooking during Covid. Then I got sad when she moved away and thought there would be no more videos. But she’s all grown up and happily married and in the Army. So I watched the older videos. And now I can’t stop watching because of Gardenia and her chips. lol! Take care everyone! Thanks for sharing all your memories with us.😊

[@marlenevave6838]

Chef & Rita, you both are a blessing not only to your family but to us as well. Thank you for sharing your life with us and keeping us updated. I know when the time is right Heavenly Father will bless your family with a beautiful House. In his timing is when everything will fall into place according to His Plan. Chef continues prayer of Healing over you as well as Strength. Only God has the last day and your work here on Earth is not Done. Our family has followed your family before Emile even graduated High School and to see the kids grow and start their own journey and their lil family just shows what a great example you both continue to show them not only through love but Hard Work. Blessings & Blessings always💚

Hearts and prayers are with your beautiful family's journey. I can relate to your journey, when I decided with my family to move from Salt Lake City to Alameda California at 2005. It wasn't an easy decision to make then we decided to move again across the ocean to Sydney Australia. It wasn't an easy transition to say the least, but like what Chef said " life's full of chances and full of sacrifices "❤❤❤❤❤ Alofa atu tele all the way from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

I followed your journey away from WA State and it was the same route that me and my family took. We currently reside in San Antonio, TX now and have been here for 4 years and counting. I love it in TX and would not change it for anything. WA State I did not like because it was rainy, cold, foggy, gray skies, and you hardly see the sun.

Hoping the best for your beautiful family in ElPaso. I was in ElPaso for 3 years and have mixed feelings. I am now in Washington and I get your emotions. Leaving Washington for ElPaso is a big big change, and I get it. ElPaso is hot but the hispanic people are great and welcoming. I was in Ft Bliss so Elpaso holds a special place in my heart. I hope you guys do well and wishing all the very best to new beginnings in ElPaso.
