Missions Week

This week we celebrated missions at church...

 

On Wednesday night, the kids were excited to get all dressed up in an outfit from another country. Ka'iulani and Kamelelani are wearing dresses from Vietnam. The dress Em is wearing is one of the dresses Aunty Ku'ulei and her family gave to each of the girls.

 
Bekah with her cheese crackers in hand. Can't leave those behind.

 

I put three tiny buns in Emma's hair, one on each side in front, and one in the back. She loved it! I had to re-create the hairdo for school the following day.

 

Alyssa's nice long hair was braided to look like the girl from Vietnam that appeared on the screen when I google searched "hairstyles in Vietnam." I'm missing that beautiful, long hair already!

 

Alyssa's class won the Pizza Party for having the most children dress up for the missions theme. It was fun for all of them to dress up and celebrate!

 
Next Wednesday, I am preparing mochi (which is Japanese, but we enjoyed it in Hawaii when Dave's sister made it, and we have tried a few times to make it here at home) for Emma's class, then Ka'eo will bring it in and explain a little about where it comes from. Emma is excited to share with her class! It's a fun chance for any of the kids who are interested, to share a little bit about their heritage while they study their unit on International Missions.
