White Sunday

" Go and have breakfast, then have a shower!" Mum shouted. Today we were going to say our verses at the Atiu hall. Our nana gave Khaia and I verses out of the bible and we had to say it in front of a lot of people. We said our verses because it was White Sunday. Me and Khaia got changed and waited until mum and dad were ready.

We set off onto the road and traveled to the Atiu Hall. The hall is in Mangere. It was a long time until we got there. Once we had, we waited for everyone else to come. I read my book, EJ12 Jump Start and mum took some photos of Cree. Dad fell asleep. While he was sleeping he developed a sore stomach so we went back home.

Back at the hall and it was nearly time to go on and Aunty Jaky and Feura were sitting inside with Riyah. Feura rang mum's phone and told her to come inside and wait until it was our turn. After a while it was show time!

Khaia and I went to the entrance and got into our spots. Aunty Kura said I had to take my grey cardigan off and wear the dress and tights only. The music to go in started to play and the people n front of me were walking to the stage. I settled in my spot and suddenly I heard my name. Oshania was standing at the back of the stage.

Everyone in front said their verse and then it was the people in my lines turn. Numbers 1 to 3
said their verses. It was Khaia's turn. She said hers and everyone clapped for her. My turn. Number five. I grabbed the microphone out of Khaia's hand and stepped to the front. Anxiously I said my verse looking out to the crowd. " Over at last!" I sighed with relief. the other people went and then the older people sang their song. Off the stage and into my mums arm. I gave her a big hug and Jaky gave two lolly lays. YUMMY! She said that her and Aunty Leonie made them.

The other people that were doing verses and then it was time to eat. There was lasagne, crab meat salad, Chinese food, curry and a whole lot more. The man prayed and I dug in. I got crab meat salad, Chinese food, fried chicken and chips, pizza, lasagne and ham. It tasted delicious.
It was desert and I had vanilla ice cream. It was nice! Then we had a walk around. I went to the back of the hall and waited till baby Hyrum was dry because he had spilled juice on himself. We took him home and went to get some grapes. " Great speeches girl, i'm very proud!" Mum said.
