Mele Kalikimaka!! I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas with family or friends or both. I have missed each and every one of you this season and can't wait to reunite next year:) it is crazy how fast time has flown by! Last weekend Paul Kuhns got baptized and I was able to confirm him! It was definitely a miracle on how he accepted baptism and now he is baptized like his wife. It was a beautiful baptism and all he said was that he wanted to thank us missionaries...he is awesome and I can't wait for them to get sealed together for eternity! Christmas was amazing and fun because we spent it with members! My highlight was talking to my foster brother, kepa. For those who don't know kepa, he is currently in the Utah County jail waiting to be released and it has been a journey for him. I've been able to communicate over Facebook messenger but never actually hear his voice. So it was a surprise on Christmas when I got to talk to him over the phone for a short amount of time. He is doing amazing and loves this family! Please pray for him so he may be released. Today we went to the coast and got soaking wet as we were trying to take pictures. We tried to catch the waves in the background and we definitely did for sure... And more lol. Fortunately we only got wet and no one was hurt except for the amounts of laughs we shared haha. i wanted to bare my testimony about God's plan real quick. I believe all these things needed to happen so we could all learn something! I believe the man upstairs let this happen so we would all come back to him and rely more on him! He loves us and has a plan for us and we just need to trust him that everything will be OK! I love you all so much and hope to see yall soon


Aloha

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
