Aloha family!!


This week has been an amazing week full of service and miracles. It started off with a bunch of service in yards and helping people move their stuff to the storage shed. It has been so hot but it made service fun still. This week we had a fantastic lesson with a referral from the spanish sisters in our area. This mans name is mike and he just barely got married. He has a son who is 2 and really cute. We started off teaching a message of hope but he asked a lot of good questions regarding the Restoration so we taught that instead. He believes in god and Jesus as separate beings so that is awesome. We told him that in order to know the truth he had to pray and read and he gladly accepted. Now we will be having a lesson with him come Saturday and a huge service project as well, so excited!! We finally got back to church!! It was awesome and so spiritual!! We also had transfer calls on Friday and sadly my companion, elder Gibbon, will be leaving to become a ZL. I am excited for him but sad he is leaving. If there is one thing I learned from him it is that my way isn't always the best way. I have had many instances where I was so stubborn that I was determined that my way was the only way... oh how wrong was I. I was judging his way while my own way was terrible. I learned to become more humble with him and to open my mind and heart to new better ideas. I challenge all of you to not judge so quickly that you end up going down the wrong path. Be open to suggestions and take feedback with love. Become better in everything that you do!! I love you all and hope to see you soon!!


Aloha,

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
