Hawaii

:44:25

Aloha! Aloha!

:44:38

My mother, Malama, says welcome.

:44:40

These are the first lhaole women
she has ever seen.

:44:44

Haole is our word
for people of the white race.

:44:49

She says that until now you have sent
only sailors and troublemakers.

:44:54

But since you bring your women,
your intentions must be good.

:44:58

Please express our thanks
to the Alii Nui.

:45:01

Tell her that in order to help her people

:45:03

we intend to establish missionaries
throughout these islands.

:45:05

I know little bit English already.

:45:09

How you meaning help my people?

:45:11

- Help them to know God.
- And reading, too, and writing.

:45:14

Writing?
This is good. It is our need.

:45:19

In one month time,
I learn plenty writing.

:45:22

But first you must learn about God,

:45:24

without Whose grace
all writing is useless.

:45:28

First write.
Then maybe I listen your god.

:45:45

She says you are adorable,
puny women.

:45:47

Will you tell her that
she and your father are very handsome?

:45:51

And that Lahaina
seems as lovely as New England,

:45:54

though in quite a different way.

:45:56

Alolha nui! Alolha nui!

:45:59

Alolha nui means love intense.
