This week was great, People still think I barely just arrived here in the Philippines haha And then I start speaking in Tagalog and they are blown out of their minds. But I still need a lot of practice although Ive been here for months now! any who, I have been experiencing great things out here in the Mission, from going to members, to eating half cooked duck eggs, to swerving through traffic trying not to die! :) The Lord has been with me 100 percent of the way! Its been full of laughs, trials, but He is always on the side!

Always trust in the Lord Jesus Christ! He'll Never turn his back on you

(Here is what happened in my week though)

Weekly Letter - 29 Jul 2019

Dear President Welch,

Hello President, well to start I'm glad to say my family is safe and they're all doing great. I do miss them, but nothing beats serving the lord full time and doing his work, it's such a short time in which we serve I've realized now in my 10th month of service, it flies by extremely fast. Anyways, my area is cool, I still haven't been across it all on foot yet, but I have gotten a good idea where things are at, I just need to know where more members are so we can find and help strengthen them.

One thing that actually happened that was interesting was I started a drawing project of a portrait of Jesus Christ, but as I continued to draw it and finished it I could feel the saviors love for me so strong, and I know that when we use our talents to glorify Him we are happy for doing so. So, in addition to that thought, I, myself am Happy because I can truly feel the spirit even when times get dark. I've seen a growth in my own reliance on the saviors Gospel as I have been serving and know it will grow if I humble myself continually daily.

That calls for this week President Welch, again, your doing awesome president ! we all love you, keep serving the Lord, I know He is pleased when we do His will Together!

Your Missionary,

Elder Wolfgramm

Kamusta po sa inyong lahat!

Hey but besides just calling I have decided to write Emails on top of calling so that way when I get back I can have a bunch of stories I can read back, just as Gordon B Hinckley was able to account of His stories later on.

here is the Email I wrote to my President Earlier

Dear President.

Dear President Koster

Good Morning, This last week in March has been full of tiny miracles. I've been really trying to stay positive this past week and to see the good in everything and it has been improving my performance as a missionary. Looking for the positive in everything truly does make the time go swiftly and joyous from my observation, and soaking up every minute here on the mission, because this time here can never be taken back.

But last Saturday we had a Baptism of 3 Primary aged boys. I had the wonderful opportunity to confirm 2 of them on the following Sunday, and it was actually my first time confirming, so for me that was my miracle. Other than that President, Elder Cabungcag and I are getting along just fine. The Lord has been blessing us here in Cogeo, and I know now if I keep up with this positive attitude I can continue to feel and share the pure Love of Jesus Christ continually.

Yours Truly,

Elder Wolfgramm

The work here has been more happy, and I am not focused on" how much time I have left?, but rather," how much more can I do? I am learning more and more how to be patient, and humbled...For example At church yesterday in ward council meeting, it was our turn to speak and give our reports as missionaries, so as I got up to share I started to speak in English, and right away the Relief society President stops me and says, Hey, Speak in Tagalog! , so for me that's a reminder that I need to humble myself and speak their language and not my own native one. I know if I continue I can not only get fluent in the language, but also be a as Gordon be Hinckley Unstoppable! Well, I Love you all! Remember Time can never be taken back, Use it wisely.

LOVE YOU ALL!

Kamusta ka na sa inyong lahat?!

Kamusta po kayo sa inyong lahat !Whats up everyone!!!

It's been an interesting week, but first off before I start my letter to you all, here is what I wrote to my mission president.

Hey President

This week has been cool, we had the opportunity to witness a baptism for Jennifer and Ricardo last Wednesday.

Also working with Elder Gamolo has been a blessing he truly knows how to work effectively and he is such a great teacher to me and I have been learning a lot from him. Now we are just in the process of getting the ward to really help us in our efforts with getting referrals so we can have stronger ward support. It is such a miracle to see that when we change the way we do things for the better, more better results occur!

Thanks President for all that you do!

Marami Salamat po talaga!

But yes, that's whats going on over here in the Missionary work I'm involved in. Other than that, yes there are some times I feel I am on top of the world over here, and then there are times where I am like Why did the lord want me to be here.... but The Lord always hears my silent prayers I'm telling you. He always comforts me when times I feel inadequate, I think of the scripture

Doctrine and Covenants section 1 -

24 Behold, I am God and have spoken it; these commandmentsare of me, and were given unto my servants in their weakness, after the manner of their language, that they might come to understanding.

25 And inasmuch as they erred it might be made known;

26 And inasmuch as they sought wisdom they might be instructed;

27 And inasmuch as they sinned they might be chastened, that they might repent;

These scriptures give me hope that through repentance I can change my old ways each new day God gives me. Even though sometimes I just want to rest and sleep all day. hahah But the Lords work is important, and I'm so glad he understands me perfectly even when my companion and I don't always see eye to eye. When I pray to the Lord He always gives me to comfort to get along with my companion.... The Lord is putting me through a refiners fire really, its burning hot now. I'm stepping outside of my comfort zone and sometimes I get so stressed, but I have never learned so much in my life and I am definitely growing in wisdom and maturity over here.....
