Subject: Baptism to remember



Aloha family,

I miss you all so much especially during this time of year. I hope you are all safe and warm and healthy. This week was an awesome but fast week. I can't really remember a whole lot that happened but I know we had a lot of service this week. We had a service project for the Dallas food Bank in our zone and it was so much fun! We then drove up to Otis, by the coast, to help with the fire cleanup. Then we had a couple of other random service projects but in one of them we got a Christmas tree. Just like my tree back home, most of its lights don't work... Makes me feel right at home lol. I also donated blood this week lol. This weekend we had a baptism for Charlie and it was definitely one to remember. Charlie's older brother baptized him and they are huge kids. We filled up the font thinking that it would be enough but we were so wrong... When they went around to enter into the font they took a while. As we were waiting for them we heard someone peeing and then the toilet flush afterwards haha. We started to giggle a little before they entered the font. When they did the water was up to their mid thighs lol. His brother then proceeded with the prayer and as he was baptizing him, Charlie slipped and fell. As he was coming up he said "shiz" but the other one. He then was like, " I said shoot, I said shoot... Nah I actually said the other word." we told them to continue because his sins would be washed away. On the second time, it was successful and amazing. It was awesome to have been there for their family. I hope all of you are participating in the light the world prompts. If not, please start now and help give hope, light, love to the world. If you are, continue to let your light so shine! I love you all and pray for you always!

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
