Da Jesus Book

Ken found a Bible translation at Borders in "Hawai'ian Pidgin." It's called Da Jesus Book. Apparently a lot of locals purchase this to witness to their friends. I was chatting with some very cute children while shopping for eye glasses the other day.

"Are you Hawai'ian?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"Do you know how to surf?"
"No. It's hard. Do you know how to skate?"

And the conversation continues until I realize he is not talking about ice skating, but skate BOARDING! He's never even seen an ice rink, so he's somewhat impressed.

I left that place wondering why he and his sister had such poor english, but as it turned out, they were speaking their local dialect!

Jesus say, "God wen get so plenny love an aloha fo da peopo inside da world, dat he wen send me, his one an ony Boy, so dat everybody dat trus me no get cut off from God, but get da kine life dat stay to da max foeva. (John Tell Bout Jesus 3:16)
