Aloha my beloved family,

I hope you've all had a great week and have come closer to our savior as well. This week was a pretty slow week full of stress with phone calls, some member lessons, and some service. We were supposed to have a lesson with some lady in Brazil but she forgot that day so we rescheduled for tomorrow... hopefully she won't forget this time haha. 

We have been teaching a member family everyday for the past 2 weeks and it has been awesome. The father has a desire to love his wife more and be there more for his son. The spirit that is in their family now is beautiful and so is their faith. 

For our service project we laid down mulch for a lady in the other ward. It was very hot but it was so nice to get outside the house and work. It is definitely a feeling that I miss. 

Now back to my title of this week. Why is it called spiritual inhalers? Well due to my asthma and other things as well I've woken up many nights this week and last week having a very hard time breathing. After taking my inhaler the pain would go away but would shortly come back. Luckily after a couple of days I can breathe better and found out I am covid free but I still get episodes here and there. So how does this apply spiritually? Sometimes we find ourselves struggling to breathe as we surround ourselves with worldly troubles. Covid, riots, and technology and these things keep us from breathing. The only way to get rid of these is by taking our spiritual inhalers. Christ has called himself the breath of life and he is our spiritual inhaler. We must use constantly in our lives. This inhaler is different because we need to take it daily. We cant wait till we cant breathe then take it. It must be a daily dose. I love you all and hope you find someone to serve this week. God be with you!

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
