Hōʻike aʻela ʻo Randall Saito i kona kumu i mahuka ai mai ka hale maʻi mai.
ʻO ia aʻela kekahi poʻo nūhou o kēia lā, ka lā 17 o Nowemapa, he Pōʻalima. Welina e nā makamaka. ʻO Ke Aolama kēia a penei ka nūhou.

Ma ka mahina ʻo ʻAukake, ua kamaʻilio ʻo Collins me nā mākua o Botelho i mea e hoʻoponopono ai. A ua mahalo nā mākua i ia kamaʻilio ʻana.

Ua pau koʻu lihi hoihoi i ka nani o Poka ʻAilana.
