What wonderful news we've receive today from Elder Wolfgrmm's email. He had his 1st baptism! Yup we are so excited to know that he did one of the greatest blessings for a sister in the Yap zone area. Entering her into the baptismal waters to further her spiritual journey as a woman who faithfully chose to be more closer to God than she could of ever imagine. We are so proud of you Grant!! Every souls to the Lord is worth more than gold. It's a precious gem for the Lord and he knows that the efforts Grant, his companions helped this sister find eternal truths for herself and for her family. I couldn't be more happy and pleased by the amazing work that my nephew is making throughout his mission. Keep up the spiritual and physical work that you've done so far Grant. You will overcome many obstacles as you stay close to the Lord and praise him always for the countless help!! Luv ya Elder Wolfgramm!

"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

     So I had the honor of doing something sacred on Saturday and that was I was able to baptize one of our investigators who me and my companion have been working with for a long time her name is Scholastica she is a woman from the Outer Island known as Fais. Originally we had thought that she didn't want to be baptized but we felt that we needed to go and invite her again and this time she changed she gave up some of the things she is used to doing and she prepared herself to be baptized. It was nice to be honest I was happy that I had the priviledge to baptize her but I was way more excited that she had chosen our of her own free agency to be baptized and than confirmed on Sunday which was yesterday. But anyways I was very happy about that and it was the highlight of this week. Anyways me and my companion Elder Zonts are back up and at it looking for new people to serve and to teach. We are still working with our investigators and found some people who we feel may be ready to be baptized as well. With the language it's going "Ye gach!" (Good) of course I am still working with it but yeah the hardest thing for me still is I am practicing how to roll my "r" it ain't easy for me but I know that with God and the Gift of Tongues I will get it! I am so happy I get to be apart of this work and me and my companion have gotten to see some of that amazing happiness because of bringing a soul unto the Lord! Not much else has happened this week but I feel like bearing my testimony in Woleaian so here goes Gang I gula bwe, Deus ye gashingigish... Gang I gula bwe, gelesia ye net. Itipeli bwe gammi gaibwe gula bwe gang igashingigammi. Gang I gula bwe, iga pangashalago sibwe tabwey Deus me Yesus Kristus sibwe mwel gassi melaw yetor siyal. Itipeli bwe ibwe ser gosa gashigashig ngali Deus rel Yesus Kristus me pangal formil ye fang ngaliei. Itipeli bwe ibwe gameno yai kapet fal idel Yesus Kristus Amen. Translation: I know that God he loves us... I know that this church is true. I want that you guys you will know that I love you all. I know that if all of us we all will  follow God and Jesus Christ we all will can recieve eternal life. I want that I will say thank you to God for Jesus Christ and all the things he has given to me. I want that I will say this under Jesus Christ's name Amen. A lot of this translation was pretty close to direct translation although I changed some things since I know that it wouldn't make sense in English but yupp thats my testimony I know that all these thing are true and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God... I love all you guys wether you are family or friends I love you all. But anyways thats it for me this week until next week!

 Kammagar is actually thank you in Yapese lol! I am not learning Yapese (at the moment) but hey it's a really cool language unfortunately you have to know how to roll your "R's" which I cannot do yet... I am working on it. But yeah I am still working with Woleaian it is truly the celestial language lol no offense haha just kidding! I love all languages but it just so happens that this is the one they speak in the Celestial Kingdom haha... Alrite enough with the jokes anyways life on the mission field is both wonderful and stressful! One day you think you might have something going with an investigator and than boom they are leaving on a ship to the Outer Islands (where missionaries aren't allowed yet). But yeah it has been a good week though I continue to learn new things everyday and the life of the islanders is super laid back. Unfortunately missionaries can't do that except on P-Day's although we usually clean and do shopping or something of that nature. But yupp things here are definitely changing a ship came to Yap dropping off about 61 people from the Outer Islands and me and my companion have figured at least one of them has been prepared for us so we did a lot of "Friending" which is what we do here in we go walk around and meet new people by offering help or just being nice and of course if we can we will teach a lesson! Anyways we did a lot of that this week and we found a family that we invited to be baptized and the Father said the typical "I was born a catholic so I think I will die one.." but the mother said "Yes..." it was awesome we hope to continue working with them. Doing this work always keeps me humble because you just never know what lies ahead and yeah things are pickingup here. Anyways something really funny that happened yesterday was me and my companion had just got out of an appointment at around 9:30pm and were about to head home when we look into our car and we had a bag of crabs in our car which a member gave to us to deliver to someone and yupp it was open and I yelled "Ragowmm!!" (crab) they literally were everywhere on the seats, under the seats, in cup holders, in the back of the car... yea it sucked and we had to get them all out but than all of a sudden as we were getting the crabs out a huge downpour of rain came outta no where and within seconds we were soaked. But yeah it was hilarious now that I look back but it wasn't, and also it was funny as we drove through the rain we missed a couple of crabs and they were crawling around our feet... haha it was real good anyways that's it for this week I love all yallz!

Gaisa Gaita! That is the Ulithian way of say "How are you doing?" lol to be honest all these languages are super similiar but yet very different... Lol this week has been an okay week me and my companion had a lot of ups and down. The reality is that lately things haven't been the best we are still working through it all and we have been truly practicing exact obedience... Me and my companion are taking on Jeffrey R. Hollands promise which says "Obedience brings blessings, exact obedience brings miracles..." And I know it will... right know things aren't looking good but I know that this is the Lord testing us seeing if we really want those miracles. As for our investigators all of them are amazing I love them all and I want to see that they are all happy. The language or should I say languages I will most likely pick them all up haha but for reals are all awesome my Woleaian is getting better as we teach, teach, and teach it'll come lol. A cool thing that I did this week was I gave a talk in church on the "Responsibilities and Duties of the Aaronic Priesthood" which is funny because being in a branch it's super small and we have exactly one Deacon right know... but that Deacon is amazing his name is Tyler a Yapese kid and I love the kid he is hilarious always cracking jokes with me and Elder Zonts but when it comes down to it he fulfills his responsibility. Well one thing I know for sure is that I know that God is a loving Heavenly Father and he only wants the best for us and I love you all a lot I miss all you guys wether friends or family no matter I love all yallz! Ofa Atu and Gang I gula, bwe Deus ye fagogish! "I know that God he loves us all!" All right see yas next time Ilanga!

P.S. (I do a lot of these haha) It is typhoon season... so yeah that will be interesting.
