Subject: Gratitude is the key



Aloha family,

I hope you all had a fantastic week. This week was a long week that was full of meetings. We had zone conference, language conference, mission leadership council, zone council all this week. It was so long and some were kind of boring but something that I learned is that comparing ourselves is a common problem especially among missionaries. This week was Thanksgiving and we visited our recent convert Pam and her husband Paul. They have a beautiful house and Paul will be getting baptized this month! We then ate dinner with a member in our ward and the food was so good. This Thanksgiving was definitely better than last year lol. If yall didn't know already, there are people going back to their OG missions which means that maybe I might go back but we will see. I love it here and I love the relationships I have established but it is all up to the Lord and where he needs me. Well I wanted to share that gratitude is the answer to most if not all of our problems. Gratitude won't cure covid but it can cure other social problems that the world has. When we are grateful to our Heavenly father he gives us so much more blessings! This is what I want you all to remember is that we need to be grateful more!! I love you all and can't wait to see you again someday!

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
