Hola, Este es la hermana de Elder Kauwe

Turns out Monday was the peak of my sickness, and I've sense been getting much better. Meanwhile all those who mocked me in my days of turmoil have sense been sniffling. hehe! na I feel bad they are getting sick now:( They have my true sympathies. But while I happen to be at the height of my cold it was email the little elder day. It's hard to think of anything nice to say, when your nose and ears are plugged and your throat is on fire, so I admit, in a moment of weakness I wrote a complaining email to a missionary. so much for uplifting this week. Luckily my brother is tough and can not be brought down by my whining. Here's his response:

Sorry you are sick dear sister, and i know how it is to have a shortage of paper, in our house were going on our second week lol. and yesturday they cut our water. so we went and payed the bills today, and slept at the the Lz´s house. Im still learning resposibility.

2 weeks!!oh kale! haha I am humbled. Here's some pics too. They are a little outdated, but for those of you who havn't seen the kid with his nametag (which he forgot lol! mom had to send it down later) these are fun. This is his district in the MTC. He went in April, 8 2009 to the MTC in Sau Paulo, Brazil. It's called the CTM there haha I am 88% sure this is his fist comp in the ctmThis is him in ron of sau borja hs first area- he loved t here! now he's in his second area...Agrete. it's harder here. but kale is kale. chill enough to be happy anywhere and hardworking/stubborn enough to get the work going.So Elder Kauwe is doing good. We called Brazil today to make sure the number worked. I dialed of course because the parentals are not so good with phone cards. Maria answered. I said hello, she said hello, I said hello, she said hello, I said hello again, she said hello again, then I said hola, and then I don't know what she said because mom took the phone away from me at that point. I had it all ready how to say I was Elder Kauwe's sister(see title of this blog). In Spanish anyway, which I figured had to be close, and then I choked. Good thing mom went to Portgal on her mission and learned ortugese. Maria said Elder Kauwe has a good spirit and that she really likes him:)

Can you hand me a tissue please?

Well, I have a wicked cold. It's a bad one. My nose is stuffed and my throat feels like it's closing in on me. Everyday for the past half week I wake up sure that I'm suffocating, but alas it's just a cold. Bad news is Friday we ran out of tissues and sat and sun there were toliet paper shortages. But reinforcements came in this morning and I've taken to carrying a roll with me everywhere I go. Sadly, I've gotten no sympathy from the fam, well a little from mom and dad but nothing from the boys. Quite the contrary they called me gross and discusting and i've gotten many bad looks. Hello people!! I am suffering here!! and I told them this when we were playing monopoly. I belted those exacts words, and then I rolled the dice and won free parking. fate is kind sometimes cause it was a heavy lot too... for reasons pertaining specifically to my family...love the fam jam and love being home:D...MERRY CHISTMAS YO!!

This has to be super fast, but I just got an email from Kale, and with a Christmas Phonecall fast approaching I just wanted to let out some feeling about the kid. Kale is my best friend. He has this awesome sense of humor. It's like whitty, and a little sarcastic and usually making fun of some one... in a fun bonding sort of way. He is such a TEASE- but he can take it to which makes him so fun. He just really understands when a funny situation is going on. I miss the understanding looks we used to give eachother right after my mom said something silly and a little bit flighty. But mostly I miss how sweet he was. He is up there on the list of thoughtful peeps. Up there with my mom and probably mother tereasa. He really is just geninly kind and loving and forgiving. Growing up I was mostly just short tempered and impatiant and firy and mean, and he was just chill and easy going and nice and always forgave me so fast when I was mean to him. And he dosn't care what people think about him. He always does the nice thing-Befriedns the loner, cheers up the sad girl. He has a way of finding the underdog or the forgotten one or the picked on child and stands up for them making them feel loved. and it's all genuine because he really does love everyone. and homeboy can really stand up!! He'll bring you off your high horse fast and he'll do it with whit and style! The other summer when I was in Hawaii my dad had to have heart surgery. and he'd already had a stroke and it was kinda scary to be so far away(my fam jam is in washington)and I watched stupid family guy and the guy had a stroke and it freaked me right out, and I called kale and it must have been two in the morning for him, but he answered and talked to me anyway and he calmed me down and them told me what my dad had eaten that day. Kinda silly but It was healthy food and that is what made me feel the most better. I think only Kale could have made me feel that much better. He is so great. I love him and I'm jelouse of all the people in southern Brazil that get to seem him. and 'm proud of him for being such a hard working missionary. I can't wait to talk to him!!! He's the best. now that I think of it all my brothers are the best. I could talk forever of their coolness, but I'll sum it up this way

Kale: happy yellow: patient and forgiving
Kaulu: solid black: diciplined and dependable
Maka: firey Red: Outgoing and Frienly
Kekela: Science green: down to earth and logical



and then they are all absolutly hilariouse!! and really hard workers. I got a good fam- no one I'd rather be with:)


and heres a shout out to lil nike shocks!! (my sister Nika) she would be bright pink
because she has the cutest laugh in the world and it's always going

"Amco, this is Brian"

So my car ended up being in the shop for about... oh the entire month of November! It was quite the mystery case for the boys down at AMCO Transmission, and so each of the 30 days I called in and each of the 30 days my dad called in and it was always the same thing.
ring ring
"Amco, this is Brian"
"Hey Brian its Haliaka...the gray hyndai. Have you guys figured out about when my car will be ready?"
"well that is the question of the hour. hang on"
"yeah we just can't seem to figure out what is wrong...blah blah blah... we don't know when you'll have it back... you're car is annoying... were frustrated with it and sick of it being here"...ok so he dind't say those exact words, but I got vibes.
and then i'd hang up and call again the next day or so. Over all between dad and me we probably talked to Brian from AMCO for at least an hour that month without ever seing or meeting him.
So then last Wednesday I'm going to school. I'm lazy and it's cold so I drive everyday and I park and walk across the whole parking lot(which is farily large..and I remind you that it's very cold) and I can hear someone walking like right behind me. Then as I near the edge of the lot the footsteps quicken and the feet are even closer and this boy says "hey do your lights turn off by themsleves" And I think to myslef...all four windows are taped up equalling ghetto car- do you think my lights are really going to turn off? Why did you follow me across the whole huge parking lot before telling me? But I also was very grateful to the boy. A dead car after school would have truly been aweful on this particular day. and it was really nice that he gave me a chance to not be stupid. you know like he didn't just assume I left them on on accident he gave me the benefit of the doubt first. so with a little chuckle and a big sigh I turn to go back and then the boy says "oh hang on, I'm brian...from AMCO" I bursted out laughing!!!"REALLY?! I say, "YOURE BRIAN?!?" more laughter. It was a good moment. He said how he recognized my car since it had been in there for so long and I just laughed more because now I was really embarrassed that I left my lights on. Then I immediatly called my papa and we exchanged surprised and amused comments. It was fun to run into ole Brian snd I'm glad I have a face to put with the saying I have heard so many times before "AMCO, this is Brian" :)
