Aloha family,

How are y'all? This week was crazy busy because of transfers and sadly my Canadian companion is gone:( but he is in a better place in the mission but I miss him. My new companion is elder Boren and he is awesome! He is from highland utah and he has been out for a year in about 4 days. He is really funny, but kind of quiet. We did a lot of service this week... for example: Saturday we had four service projects back to back. We started at 6 am and finished at 2 pm. We were so tired when we got home that we spent our lunch time sleeping haha. Though we were tired, the feelings that I felt were priceless. We have also talked to a lot of people this week and invited a lot more to church. Unfortunately none of them showed up but they said that they would try to come this week. Well I don't have a lot to write this week but my challenge is different... I hope. I want you all to stay busy this week. Busy with good stuff of course! Something that I have learned is that when you aren't busy you start to get lazy and even fall into dark holes. In preach my gospel we learn that with virtue you have to keep your mind occupied constantly with good things or Satan will take the opportunity to creep in. I want you all to look to serve, look to teach, look to help! I promise if you will all do this you shall see the hand of god everyday. You shall come closer to him and shall have your eye single to his glory. I love you all and pray you are all well.

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
