Monday was great fun due to the tremendous efforts of Elder & Sister Basso's Hawaiian hearts. The beautiful and delicious food included Elder B's famous Hawaiian fried rice. Sister B thought of everything it seems. She put together a slide show with photos contributed by all of us missionaries and gave us a dvd of it. Somehow Sister Basso found out that Chris plays the Ukulele and that I have some hula experience so guess what...yep, you guessed it. We put on a program. For a few weeks now, sisters have come over to our flat to learn how to dance "Blue Hawaii". Here is a photo of a practice:
I'm hoping to find someone who got a photo of our group performing. (Mine didn't turn out) These darling children learned "Little Grass Shack" so enthusiastically and you should have heard them sing "Humuhumunukunukuapua'a"! They sure did a great job & everyone loved them!
Sister Basso wanted me to do a solo so with Mahina's permission, I chose a dance called "Ka'Pilina" that she, my wonderful teacher in Sequim, choreographed so beautifully. Chris sang and accompanied all songs with his ukulele.
Here is a link to Ka'Pilina:

I'm hoping to get a copy of the other dances soon and will add a link to it.
