Eikaiwa Easter Parties!

Happy Easter!!

We are in charge of holiday parties at English class.  We teach two sessions of English class- one in Tsuruoka on Wednesday evening and one in Sakata on Thursday evening.  We celebrate major American holidays with first, teaching them about the holiday in English, then dancing, games, and refreshments.  We included both #hallelujah videos in our party this year.  Generally, we don't teach the gospel at the English classes, but how do you teach Easter and not teach the gospel. 

The car is loaded and ready to go party.

And the refreshments all set up.

The Chicken Dance.  "Da Da Da Da Da Da Da . . . "

Sakata Party

The elders were on splits with the zone leaders, so we had Elder Erickson with us.  He is an impressive young man. 

Da da da da da da.   Da da da.  Da da da da da da.

Hop, hop, hop.  The Bunny Hop

I told about Handel's oratorio "The Messiah" and then we showed them this video:

Hallelujah!  and Happy Easter!
