WEEK 8: FAITH can NOT coexist with fear

From: Iosepa Nawahine <iosepa.nawahine@missionary.org> Date: Mon, Oct 28, 2019 at 2:45 PM Subject: Fear cannot coexist with faith Ola minha familia, This week was an awesome and spiritual for me as I hope it has for all of you. The beginning of the week was a struggle because of the language barrier. I could not understand anybody, but towards the end of the week it started to become more clear. I could understand more words and frazes but I still have a lot of work to do. Something my good friend told me is that faith cannot coexist with fear so that means that we need to have faith in everything that we do. When we have faith that does not mean we will not be nervous but it means that we will not be scared. Have faith in who you are (a child of God), have faith in yourself, and have faith in Christ and Gods will. So this weekend I had my first baptism with a boy named Lucas. It was such a spiritual experience for me as it was for him too. Speaking in portuguese du...

WEEK 53: UP in Smoke!! Gotta Faith em'!

This week was different as you probably can tell from my title haha. There are a bunch of wildfires in oregon and surrounding oregon, so oregon has been covered in a cloud of smoke this whole week. Fortunately I have been ok but some missionaries have had to evacuate because of how close the fires got. Luckily they made it out safely and they are safe and sound with other missionaries. The air quality is hazardous outside so they put us in lockdown until further notice. But at least we have been able to make some funny videos. So I would like to talk about faith for a little bit because it has been on my mind for a while. I might have talked about this before but it's always a good reminder;) so we learn in ether 12:6 and also Hebrew...

WEEK 36: Scrub in Salem Oregon! And so it begins....AGAIN!

​ From: Iosepa Nawahine <iosepa.nawahine@missionary.org> Date: Mon, May 18, 2020 at 5:38 PM Subject: Oregon salem Well it's almost been a week since I have left the comfort of my beloved home and came to oregon. Oregon is so beautiful and it rains like every day and it's kind of cold... and hawaiians don't do good in the cold haha. It's been good though bc we have been inside calling, teaching, preaching to members mostly. This is totally a different way of teaching for me especially bc Brazil is hot and we walked everywhere. My companion is elder gibbon and he is from Canada and he's awesome and such a baller. We are staying in an apartment with the APs and one of the APs is elder Baker so at least I have family down here with me. Our district is awesome but I do feel like a scrub bc I am the only junior... we have the APs, the office elders, and my companion is the district leader and i am the junior companion lol. But besides that my district is very s...
