Aloha minha familia,

I hope you all are well and are healthy with the Corona virus out in the world. I keep you all in my prayers and think of you all. This week was an awesome week full of zoom calls and regular calls with members as well. We have some investigators but not being able to knock on doors in the hot sun has changed the amount of people we teach. But as alma said, we go to being back at least some of our brethren to the truth. This week we setup an appointment with two girls who I was teaching back in Brazil. These girls were almost baptized but their mom wasn't going to let them but I believe the quarantine in Brazil has softened her heart. We have an appointment with them over video call this Wednesday and I am so excited! So as my title says it has rained every single day this week... i know its just oregon but it rains a lot. Luckily with all the rain, we have found time to kick butt at spike ball haha. It is fun to play with athletes bc we get so competitive at times Haha. Fortunately no one has gotten severely injured but there has been some scars and bruises Haha. I love the members up here and how nice they really are! The members always try to feed us even though we get so much food already. I cant wait for everything to calm down so we can go back out and knock on doors once again. Well I guess my challenge for today is to really notice God's hand in your life. Meeting with members this week, I learned to as humans we go about our day carelessly noticing the creations of god. We get so caught up in the world that before we know it the day is over. Take some time this week and really notice all of his creations and give thanks. I love you all and hope you all are well and safe!! May god be with you this week and forever!

Com amor,
Elder Nawahine

A lot of stuff has happened these past couple of weeks. My papa (my dad's dad) has been in the ICU for a week now because he contracted covid and pneumonia and it's been attacking his lungs bad. He spent all last week on a ventalator but because of miracles and prayer he is off but still on an oxygen machine this is supllying him with sufficient levels of oxygen. He is still in the ICU but is still fighting this tough battle! This weekend was crazy because we had a huge ice storm that froze everything with a thick layer of ice everywhere! Even all the blades of grass were frozen! Due to the storm we lost power for a whole day and it was so cold inside. We spent most of the day inside of our car because that was our source of heat and power haha. Members were tell

My companion got really sick this past week because he ate a mango from a guy off the street. So we were stuck in the house for a couple days because my comp was throwing up, had bad bowel problems, and he had a fever. So he was sleeping a lot and it gave me a lot of free time. So I took this time to study the language, read preach my gospel and the book of mormon, and read a lot of other books and watch movies in portuguese. It was really really fun... nah it was kind of boring to be stuck in the house, but it was good to have more time to study the words of God. This week we had lunch with a member and it was his birthday so he had a huge bbq. We had a lot of meat and rice and beans and a bunch of juice. It was so good and I got the chance to cook some of the meat haha. That was the high
