Primary Activity

This week our ward has been celebrating the 10th anniversary of it's creation. We have had an activity nearly every night for the past week. On Friday evening the Primary was in charge of planning an activity for the entire ward to attend. Members of the ward were invited to set up tables displaying items from the different cultures that have come together to make up our ward. The displays were terrific! Many of them brought a craft, game, or treat from the culture they were representing. We learned a little something about Japan, China, Samoa, Traditional Hawaii, the Philippines, South America, the history of the Church in Hawaii and the history of our chapel and ward.


One of the favorites with the children was the bamboo pole game from the Philippines. Brother and Sister Juntilia did a great job! They also shared art, music and a treat with everyone.














Sister Walker presented an excellent Japanese display. She even dressed the part! The kids, including the teenagers, thoroughly enjoyed playing the game she taught them.










Traditional Hawaiian Arts and Crafts from Auntie Mayta and the History of the Church in the Islands by Brother Bachleon.
Vanessa Malupo shared many handmade items from Samoa. She also made a delicious watermelon drink.


Uncle Kimo shared family photos and a scrap book from the dedication of our chapel in 1985.


Caro and Kati brought many interesting things from all over South America. It was a real classroom in their corner.



Sister Ichimura brought all kinds of fun stuff to see and do. The kids enjoyed the craft and well as the noisy hand drums.




The Kamauu's brought us a one of kind, original. Their candy sushi was a big hit! Isn't it beautiful?
