~ Hu mai o ako, pea hu atu o ngaue tokoni ~
"Enter to learn, go forth to serve"

This week we wrapped up the Tonga Unit for the music and dance classes. This unit inspires us to take the time and patience to learn so that we can go out and serve our fellow beings. Though the process is sometimes difficult and pushes us out of our comfort zone, we will find that we can do more than we thought---emerging triumphant, and edified.

What a fun unit! Great job to our dance and music classes on accomplishing a difficult task!
