Transfers! We got our transfer calls last night and Sister Cluff and I will be companions for another 6 weeks! This will be Sister Cluffs last 6 weeks before she goes home. :( She is an awesome missionay! I am excited to be serving with her for another transfer. 

Attacked by a 6 year old. 

Sister Cluff and I met Amber a couple weeks ago. She is a convert to the church but hasn't been to going since she was baptized as a teenager. She served in the Army for 8 years and she is super nice. She has 2 boys. Hunter is 6 years old and Keaton is 9. Amber invited us over for lunch so that we could get to know her more. and Boy was that an experience! Her boys were jumping off the walls the whole time. She warned us about her boys before we got there. But I didn't think she was serious. After we ate, we visited in the living room. All of a sudden Im being attacked by Hunter, the 6 year boy. He wouldn't let go of my hair and then he bit my arm!! LOL it was the funniest thing. Being a representative of Christ, I couldn't hit him. haha after Amber got a hold of him he went and attacked my companion! It was crazy! We were tryna act all cool but then it got to the point we just had to leave.  haha It was quite an experience! We scheduled a time to go back and help Amber pull weeds. So pray for us. 

Exchanges! 

This week we went on exchanges and I got to serve with Sister Tauveli! She currently serves in Reno and she is awesome! She has been out on her mission for 6 weeks. We both don't have driving privileges as missionaries so we biked! It was so fun. We were able to talk and meet a lot of people on the street. Sister Cluff and I always have so much fun with the sisters that we serve!

"My name is Elder Meza, I have had the pleasure of serving the last 2 years with Elder Wolfgramm as we were room-mates in the MTC, He's cool I guess, JOKES he's my ninja, as for tonights special email from him I was given the elect honor of introducing him;"

"Elder Wolfgramm was born on June 1st 2016, his quickly learned how to walk, talk, and play the ukulele, he liked anime and was obsessed with finding someone who would draw him as an anime character. he was good at imaginary Pokemon battles and is well qualified for writing this email to you all. I feel our time here together will be well spent."

"Ladies and gentlemen; Elder Wolfgramm."

-Elder Meza said that!

Well with that stark introduction... It is my last week and I hope to work hard and run CLEAR TO THE END!!! I have had a good past week though I felt I am doing my best to just go all out! But yeah we have some super amazing investigators that will be getting baptized on June 9th... Right after I leave but I am so happy for them! I am glad that I have this opportunity to serve for Our Loving Heavenly Father! I still got some time left so I am gonna make it count! Although much has been accomplished there is yet much more to be done! I am happy to have served with everyone that I did! Well I hope that you all have an amazing week and I can't wait to see yallz! Thanks for all the support and the love I have felt it all and I am eternally grateful!

OFA LAHI ATU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Love knows no limits to its
endurance, no end to its trust,
no dashing of its hope; it can
outlast anything. It is, in fact the
one thing that still stands when
all else has fallen.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-2, 4-6

I took a quick drive to Las Vegas to help a friend to drive her car so she won't drive by herself. it was a nice change of the weather and scenery. I enjoyed playing Bingo and eating tons of food. I'm glad that I got home safely and my good friend made it to California safely too.

Its been a rainy week! And we saw tons of miracles! 

Service!! 

We do set service every week at the food bank. We organize and put away food on shelfs. Its pretty fun. This week was a busy week for them. We always enjoy helping them out. 

We also do service for the United Methodist church every saturday at their thrift store called Helping Hands. This week they had a big blow out sale, everything 75% off. They had a big BBQ and roasted hotdogs for anyone to come. It was so fun! We love going there because all of the workers are super nice. They love having us come. 

MIRACLE! 

So It was almost 9pm, its dark, its raining and we were riding back to our apartment on our bikes. Sister Cluff all of a sudden turns around and says, we are going back to try a less active. In my head I'm like, "are you serious?? we need to get home! im wet and cold and its getting dark!" but I just followed her as we biked back and pulled up to a sketchy looking house. The house had no lights on whatsoever. It looked abandoned and kinda scary. We went and knocked on the door. and no one answered. So we decided to knock on the other door on the side of the house that had couches in front of it, blocking the door. haha I was like "This is so dumb, obviously no one is here." But then,,,,dun dun dun,,The door opens and a man comes out of the house. He steps over the couches to get to us. He apologized for the couches that were in the way. We introduces ourselves. He said his name is Chad.  He is super nice and told us that he is a member but he hasnt been to church since he was a teenager. He thought it was funny that we happened to show up because he had recently talked with the Bishop to set up a time for him to recieve a blessing. He told us that he has had a hard life and is currently "fighting demons". He said he would like to get back to church. He asked us when and where the church was at. We gave him the information. It was super cool! It was quite a miracle! He said to not come back until he fights the demons off. lol I am so grateful for Sister Cluff who was able to act on the promptings that she had recieved. It was an awesome experience. 

For the lack of time I will put the rest of what happened this week in bullet points!

• We had interviews with President Chesnut
• On Friday, all of our set appointments canceled! but it was ok because we were able to meet and talk to a lot of different people!
• Im at my 10 month mark!
• a Less active older lady offered us a dog treat. We ate it and it was good. 
• We had numerous doors slam in our face this week! :( It was super sad but we just went on and tried to stay positive. 
• We had a super awesome lesson with a Less active in the Walker Branch
• We met a potential investigator in Walker named Amber. 
• There was a huge "Wine Walk" going on near our apartment where everyone walks down the street drinking wine. there were tons of booths set up for people to taste the different kinds of wine. It was very interesting haha 

I want to congratulate my little sister in law for bringing in a adorable baby girl into the world. Well for her this is baby #3 and the third girl! What a joy to see family grow their little families and bring such joy with them. Baby Sa'ane (thats what I'm going to call her because her name is kind of long and sometimes hard to pronounce) weighed 8.3 lbs and 21 inches. Her mother Tali mentioned that this little cutie was names after her great grandmother. So precious!
Dear Ilaisa'ane aka Sa'ane,
My heart is over joyed to know that you were blessed to come into this world and be joined by some amazing parents and family. You will be even more blessed by your adorable and calm nature that everyone who knows you, will be there to feel your love, spirit and to hear your counsel. Stay close to the Lord in everything that you do. Be strong in word and in deed. As you continue to grow and learn many things from your parents, family and friends, be firm in your thoughts and your words, as it will strengthen your faith and heart. Be faithful and worthy in service and in teaching the gospel principles. Pray always to have the Holy spirit guide you each day of your life and to have extra spiritual protection from Satan. Love unconditionally, smile often, be a good example and be a good helper. May the Lord forever bless you and your future.
With lots of Love,
Aunty JayLynn 

It's a blessing to have an amazing Dad who do whatever it takes to make his daughter smile. I'm thankful for my dad who sends me treats from home in Hawaii. I cant wait to enjoy eating to my hearts content. Thanks so much dad, you are the best!!

​

This week was awesome! We biked a ton and I just mastered biking with no hands! lol. Yuuup! But anyways, I never want a car so I plan to bike everywhere for the rest of my time here on earth. haha. Its so fun! 

Denny

MIRACLE! We were riding our bikes and we saw an older lady in her garage. We decided to stop and talk to her. She said she was just about to go feed her horse so we asked if we could help. She said no thanks but then asked us if we were the Mormons. We said Yes! and she replied with, "I knew it cause you both are too nice, the Mormon people are just so nice." We talked for a while and she told us how the Elder missionaries helped her move in California. She said we could help her unpack. We set a time to come next week to help her. She is a super nice older lady. We are excited to help her out! 

Amber!

We were out biking in the rain when my companion Sister Cluff got a prompting to go visit a Potential investigator named Carol. So we rode over to her home and it turned out that she moved. :( But the lady who lives there now (Amber) said she was a member of the Church when she was little. She said she was glad we came at the time we did because she was just thinking about coming back and getting more involved in the Church. She said it was a sign from God that we happened to arrive at her door at that moment.  We set up a time to come back. It was so awesome! Biking miracles for dayyyyz! 

Training!

I gave a short training in district meeting about the Power and Authority of our Calling. I taught how important it is as missionaries to devote ALL our TIME and ATTENTION to serving THE LORD. We sacrifice 18-24 months (which is not a lot of time compared to the rest of our lifetime) to serve God. This is HIS time. I taught the importance of being exactly obedient and to keep the commandments and to live what we teach. I learned so much studying for this training. It gave me more motivation to focus 100% on the Him and not waste his time. Everyone really enjoyed my training and said that they learned a lot. I LOVE this gospel! And this opportunity to be a Sister Training Leader. Its a great day to be a missionary! 

Thank you family for all of  the love and support! You guys are the best! Have a GREAT week!

Its been an AWESOME week! 

MLC (Missionary Leadership Counsel)

I had the opportunity to go to my first MLC meeting this week! Where all of the Zone Leaders (Elder missionary leaders) and STLs (Sister Training Leaders) in the mission gather together at the Mission office to counsel with President Chesnut about the needs of the missionaries in the mission. We also learn how to be better leaders/ examples to the missionaries we serve. 

Sister Cluff and I were asked by President Chesnut to give a 30 minute training about adjusting to missionary life. My first MLC and I have to give a training?! The stress was real. haha but hey we did a great job! I'm grateful for the Spirit that was with me helping me. 

We taught in our training about how to deal with stress. Which was a perfect topic for me lol. But I learned that stress is actually good! Its a normal part of life and its necessary for growth. Even the greatest missionaries in history struggled. Ammon and his brethren in Alma 17:5 says that they, "had many afflictions: they did suffer much, both in body and in mind, such as hunger, thirst and fatigue, and aslo much labor in Spirit." and it got to the point that they wanted to turn back and go home, "Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give you success." (Alma 26:27)

I love these scriptures! Its helped me a lot on my mission. I learned a lot from this training, that whenever I get discouraged, or stressed, to forget about myself and get lost in the work!! Ive noticed that when you lose yourself in the work that you don't feel sad or discouraged anymore! Im grateful for this opportunity to serve as an STL! Ive had to give a training one after another which terrifies me but its good! IM learning so much more from it than anyone else! I will tell you next week how my training for this weeks District Meeting goes! haha 

Exchanges! 

As a STL, we are to coralate Exchanges with the missionaries that we are over! This week, We went on exchanges with the Lakeside Sisters who serve in Reno. I got to be with Sister Ellis for a day in her area of Reno! It was so fun! We taught one of their investigators named Mathew who is in his 80s and hes from Vietnam. He does not speak very much english. It was so cool to teach him. He wants to get baptized but its been a struggle for the missionaries to teach him because of the language barrier. He is getting baptized this month but we are looking for someone who speaks Vietnamese to translate his confimation. He is awesome! 

We also went on exchanges with the Carson City sisters and I got to spend a day with Sister Murdock (who is my trainer)! We had a blast. It was cool to see how much weve both grown from the last time we were companions. We met a guy on the street named Miguel who was building a trailor out of wood. After talking with him for a while he asked about the book of Mormon. He said he had one in his home so we invited him to read it. We had to leave to go to our next appointment but we were able to friend him on FB. We messaged him yesterday and he said we could come back tomorrow to share more with him! It was a cool miracle! I have a strong testimony that God will put people in your path who are ready to hear of the messages of this restored gospel. 

BIKING! 

The mission once again has cut everyones miles! but for me, thats a good thing! it means more biking! Being able to serve in a biking area in Fallon, Ive grown to LOVE biking! its the best thing ever!! It was a bummer coming here and having to drive again, so this was a miracle for me! So this week, we biked everywhere! We do cover a large area so we usually would park somewhere and then bike. 

Richard

We heard back from the first presidency! They told us that his baptism approval is going to take 4 to 6 months instead of 2-3 months. Which is kinda sad. But I look up to Richard for his patience and his faith. He trusts that the Lord has a plan for him. Richard has faith that he will get baptized before he passes on to the next life. He is awesome! He has waited so long! Being able to meet with him has been the best! I have learned so much just by his example. 

I had the honors to do a special project with my sisters in law and brother in law today. My sister in law Moana asked me a week ago if i could help take some photos on a project that they are doing. i was shocked since i'm not all that great in photography, but i happily accepted and went early this morning to start taking photos of stuff she wanted me to capture. I wish I could show some of the photos but because I was asked not to share it until its been done and I got the green light, I'm just going to put a photos of something random. But dont worry I will post it up once i get the ok to do so. It was a long day but it was fun & interesting to me. Well have a great weekend everyone!!
