hula on the island

Theresa from Ishigaki island came and taught some Hula dancing this Monday she taught us about 10 different steps. She comes once in awhile to teach and share the gospel as here ministry is gospel hula. It is interesting to note that Jesus Christ is very much incorporated in hula. Through Hawaiian culture, they believed in the first place that there is one God until neighboring islanders taught them that they were to worship many gods, then missionaries came and taught the gospel of Jesus Christ. So though many Hawaiians nowadays do not know that when they do the many moves that they are so accostumed to doing, that they were used with the intent of worship to God. This is Theresa's hope to point people to Christ in hula.

Kiki was sooo funny...
