One of the coolest things that I've ever done and witness!! The Lantern festival was amazing and I would encourage anyone who is interested in going to one, you should find one near you and attend with family and friends. So pretty when you see thousands of lit lanterns floating in the air at night. Breath taking!! I had the pleasure to take my nieces Natalia, Jayjay and Faith. It was fun and worth it. But a head of caution, make sure to not let the lantern float up to fast or it will land on someone's head!?! Take your time letting in the heat from the fire circulate in the lantern so that it can float nicely upwards!! But other than that it was a fun first time experience.

Dear Uncle Mika, Hey its good to hear form ya! No worries I understand
life gets to us and we get super busy haha! But I am super proud that
I have lots of cousins who have chosen to serve... It makes me
"exceedingly joyful" and wow so Nadira or should I say Sister Tupuola
has been called to Reno that's awesome! It sure is an exciting time to
be on Earth... But anyways Mika just want to let you know that you
guys are always in my prayers all of you! When I serve these people I
sometimes get discouraged because of the stubbornness of some of these
people but then I remember how my family is so very blessed and happy
with this Gospel and it helps me continue to go out and preach to them
regardless if they don't want to hear it... But yup I love you Mika
give my love to all the fam in Utah! "Deus ye logo remmi gosa

Dear Everyone, So once again my bad I really got to get better at writing this weekly emails! But nevermind nevermind this week has been good spent the first half of it in Guam because we had a Missionary Leadership Council Meeting where they call all the Zone Leaders from all the different islands in the mission to meet together for a training from our Mission President! But yeah that is always a bit long but was glad to be back in Yap on Wednesday! So we had an okay week just had plenty of catch up to do because I was gone for couple days but we managed to find a really awesome investigator who looks super promising and we hope to continue to work with him! His name's David and to be honest I feel that he has been prepared but as time comes we will see! One thing I've noticed is that the language I am learning continues to become more and more apart of me I love it and I wish that you could all understand it too... But yeah things are going well here on Yap just a lot of finding new people so that keeps us busy talking and making friends with these people! But anyways just want to let yallz know that I'm doing fine no injuries, or not anything crazy has happened... yet! Lol anyways I love yallz keep it real over there! Ofa Atu!!
Much Love, Elder Wolfgramm
P.S. I have like plenty photos I want to share but I am just awaiting so in the mean time "Watch with me..."
This weekend has been a fun experience for me. Spending time with my nieces Natalia and Jay jay has brought such joy into my life. Seeing these young girls grow up so beautifully brings tears to my eyes. They will never know how much their presence means to me. Not able to have kids myself, I've witness them grow from new borns to toddlers, kiddies, pre teens and now into their teen years. Wow!! What a miracle it is to experience to see that every time we meet. Spending quality time with you two and your siblings made life more meaningful and worth it. Your development in life is a development in my life too. As you continue to grow older, wiser and smarter, you will realize the importance of family time, family unity and family progression. Not everyday will it be sun shine and rainbows. Embrace each experiences, good or bad, as a learning tool to help you in this life. I thank your parents for allowing me and Mika to spend time with you and help you in any way that we can. But mainly bonding with each of you as if you were are children. *tears* With every moment that the Lord grants me to be with you girls is precious. I cherish it more than you know. Thank you for allowing me to have these motherly experiences with you. When that day comes that the Lord bless me with children, I'll have them thank you for your genuine and constant love you have given and shown to me. Natalia & Jayjay, thank you from the bottom of my heart and deep into my soul for blessing me with your time & presence for the past years.
I love you my girlies!!
Our family is so excited to witness our first niece (represent the Wolfgramm & Tupuola family) Nadira to receive her mission call to Reno, Nevada!! It was a total surprise and boy was the emotions was running high tonight. The wait was over and now she's set and ready to go where the Lord wants her to serve. No matter what or where she goes, I know Dira will do an amazing job in teaching and preaching the gospel to all who heres the great message. We are so happy and excited for you Dira on this great task. Now time will go by so fast that you will have your endowments done, than your farewell, on to the MTC and than you'll be serving the people of Reno, Nevada! Embrace and enjoy every moment from this point on. Congratulations Nadira!!!
Mission Call and everyone's thoughts on where she would serve before the reveal.
What a wonderful morning it was to witness my adorable 8 year old niece Faith take the steps into baptism. She glowed with joy and the light of Christ. Her older brother Tele performed the baptism ordinance with her and it was very emotional and beautiful. Moments like these are treasured with lots of love. I'm glad I was there to witness this wonderful moment and be with family and friends who love Faith dearly.
Congratulations Faith!!
Congratulations Faith!!

Boxy Charm is a company that wanted makeup & beauty enthusiasts to have an experience with quality beauty brands with a subscription of your choice. Each month they will send you 4 to 5 full size products that you can test, express and review. You can follow them on social media, watch other beauty tutorials by Charmers (as they call those who are subscribers to Boxy Charm) and get exclusive offers, giveaways that can be very beneficial to whomever participates and win. Thats the cool pro side about it. But of course there are Con's to anything great. There were many subscribers who weren't happy with their box, because every month there is something new and surprising, and many didn't like what they got or on some occasions a few items were damaged with no replacement by the company. Also a few people complained about customer service is slow and lacking. I know there are many people out there who will judge something or someone very quickly just by what other people would say negatively. I don't! Why? Because there is ALWAYS 2 SIDES OF THE STORY!! Even though I saw more negative comments about this brand than positive, i wanted to give BoxyCharm a try any ways. So thats what I did. I signed up and received an email telling me that there is a waiting list and I'm on it. I wasn't surprise or bothered by it cause its popular and in high demand. i put that email on the side and continue on with my life.
Ok by far its been an amazing first trail experience for me using this iconic mascara. It took me a few tries to get the consistency that I wanted on my lashes. I would say about 2-3 coats on my thin lashes, it totally made a difference. I saw the blue more and it looked gorgeous. Adding a few light addition of makeup to my look, I would say it turned out wonderful. No smudges or bleeding throughout the day. It held up pretty good. I can imagine the tons of creative looks you can create with this mascara. Getting this free, complimentary from Influenster and Maybelline has expanded my knowledge a bit more about the use of color mascara and techniques. I love this product and the brand very much. I would recommend it to whoever wants to get it a whirl. Awesome experience!!
