             So today was Skye and Reagan's last day at church in the Laie 5th ward.  We both got to speak in church and Skye also was the chorister as usual.  I believe that our talks went well and Reagan did a good job of not being too loud.  After Sacrament meeting was over they all sang "Aloha 'Oe" to us, bringing up several flower and Kukui nut Lei's to say goodbye.  The entire song Reagan was Laughing and excited to see so many people coming up to her and saying goodbye.  She is such a ham when she is around people, always smiling and laughing to get their attention.  We also went over to the temple and got some family pictures taken which we will poast later, after our photographer gets them back to us.




"Aloha 'Oe"

Ha`aheo ka ua i nâ pali
Ke nihi a`ela i ka nahele
E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko
Pua `âhihi lehua o uka

Hui:

Aloha `oe, aloha `oe
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace,
A ho`i a`e au
Until we meet again

`O ka hali`a aloha i hiki mai
Ke hone a`e nei i
Ku`u manawa
`O `oe nô ka`u ipo aloha
A loko e hana nei

Maopopo ku`u `ike i ka nani
Nâ pua rose o Maunawili
I laila hia`ia nâ manu
Miki`ala i ka nani o ka lipo

"Aloha 'Oe"

Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs
As it glided through the trees
Still following ever the bud
The `ahihi lehua of the vale

Chorus:

Farewell to you, farewell to you
The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers
One fond embrace,
'Ere I depart
Until we meet again

Sweet memories come back to me
Bringing fresh remembrances Of the past
Dearest one, yes, you are mine own
From you, true love shall never depart

I have seen and watched your loveliness
The sweet rose of Maunawili
And 'tis there the birds of love dwell
And sip the honey from your lips
