Grow up 🤡
Oh really?
Your boys are adorable (don’t tell them I said so 🙂) The singing at the end was excellent. Venna is quite a nice addition to your family of boys. Does he get to come with you to America? Isaac is so handsome! He’s almost grown. Thank you for another beautiful video sharing Tongan culture. We love learning about real life in your island nation.
Looks Yummy❤❤❤
Show more videos with that harmonious singing!
How much tapa pls n how long
Another beautiful praise to our Father in Heaven
Love me some Tongan worship!
So then what is it actually used for nowadays, since it’s not used as clothing???
She explained it already in the video but very briefly. Most of the time it's just used as a gift or decoration for a special event. We would wear a ta'uvala over our westernized clothing which is somewhat similar to a ngatu. A ta'uvala can be made different ways with different materials and you wear a specific one to a specific occasion.
@@JaneDoe-uo8pe That gigantic thing over westernization clothing?
@@4-2fo-ou69 no, in the video that's called a "ngatu" but we now wear something similar called "ta'uvala" it's smaller and folded to fit your body if it's too big. There are documentaries or videos explaining what a ta'uvala is
Jennifer, you captured the amazing procedure that goes into this beautiful cloth. It is so interesting to learn about the cultural meaning of the fabrics created so carefully by the artists of Tonga.
Another beautiful video, Jennifer. Learning about Tongan culture is fascinating. Thank you for sharing the crafts of Tonga.
Jennifer! This is a beautiful video. Tongan culture is so important. We love you and your particularly personal view of the Tongan lifestyle. To be raised in a conservative homeschool family in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State and then to move to your husband’s homeland in the South Pacific Island Kingdom of Tonga is a dreamy storybook tale. We want to learn more about your journey from quiet schoolgirl to mama of six beautiful Tongan boys. Please tell us more of your story.
Wonderful video, Jen! I love seeing your boys grow up. They are beautiful!
Wow beautiful family. Do they all speak Tongan?
I am so glad to find all of these older videos. In this film the boys were even younger than when you were last in our kitchen on the little island of Camano where you grew up with my children, Jennifer. The Pacific Northwest of Washington State is a huge distance from Tonga, but you are at home here in this paradise. To God be the Glory!
Just discovered this video. ‘Osi, your English is beautiful. Your boys are precious. Jennifer, although we at home miss you, we wouldn’t have you any other place than in the center of God’s will.
Jen, the quality of your videos is very good. Your ministry is expanding into videography!
Oh thank you so much Bonnie. This was a little documentary I did of the Biogas training we helped lead in YWAM Tonga in 2016 I think it was.....it was alot of fun to team up with our friends from YWAM Samoa for that project.
Wonderful video. YWAM is doing practical teaching for up and coming cultures.
Jen! Loved this slice of Tongan life! I enjoyed hearing you speak Tongan! More videos, please!
Ofa Atu Fakaosi Jen and Family
