Coming from Mesa, Arizona, Scott Baker had several friends that were Tongan, so when he received his mission call to Tonga he was so excited. His friends didn't believe it and thought he was kidding until he showed them his call. He was loved by the Tongan people and although he had many obstacles, the people wanted him to stay there. He married a sweet Tongan lady named Seini and they have one beautiful daughter Iolani who is very active in track and field.
