Jun 25- efatraha


Well this past week was awesome. We had some great lessons. We had a lesson with Anje this week and it was good, we explained that where he is right now in his life he has a lot of problems, and how he is not sure what he should do. We then talked about how the Savior can and will bless him if he has faith. We read the scriptures in Luke, Matthew, and Mark, that say those that try to save their lives, will lose them. those that lose their lives for my sake will save their lives. We told him that he needs to be willing to lose his life, so that he can save it. He needs to have the faith in Jesus Christ and believe that he will be able to be saved in his everyday life. He agreed that he needs to leave his life and follow Christ. He is not married so he will be having a hard time getting baptized. We can't teach him this week because he will be out of Fort Dauphin. He will be coming back next week so that might be the last time I see and teach Anje.

Nicole has passed her baptismal interview, so she will be getting baptized on this Saturday. I am so excited she is one of the coolest people I have taught my whole mission, also Justain is getting baptized this Saturday. These will be the last baptisms I will have on my mission I am looking forward to see these people enter into a covenant with God and Jesus Christ. I love my mission and the times that I am able to see the changes in others life.

Have a great week and try to enjoy every day, life is too short to be upset or sad.

Jun 18 - soa avao aty am nay

This week was great!
This week was really good I was able to get my last zone conference from President Foote, it was a wonderful conference. I loved it, learned so much from him. He has been one of the most influential men in my life. He is a spiritual giant. he will be missed.

We are still working as hard as we can to catch all of our goals. We are getting pretty close. We are having allot of our investigators progressing towards baptism. Nicole has accepted baptismal date finally. It was a miracle and she is way happy to be getting baptized. She will be getting baptized on the 30th of June. We are preparing 5 investigators for their baptismal date on that date. I am sorry again for such a bad email today, just know I am happy and healthy, and not another place I would rather be on earth right now. I promise I WILL WRITE A MUCH BETTER ONE NEXT WEEK. 

Love Elder Wolfgramm

Jun 11 - Valim-Bavaka

This past week was awesome.

The greatest thing that happened this past week has got to be Nicola. this past Saturday and Sunday we stopped by him and had two great lessons about the Book of Mormon and the truthfulness of the book. And not only that but the truthfulness of the church. We talked to him about how his reading had been and the impressions he had gotten over the week and the thoughts he had concerning the church and the Book of Mormon. He said he didn't really have much time to read it which was disappointing but I cant blame him, life is busy so I feel for him. So we talked about it and read it with him and then asked him what his feeling are about it. He wasn't sure. So we talked about the spirit and the ways we can feel it and how it blesses us and our lives. We gave him the homework to think and pray hard about the Book of Mormon on Saturday and then on Sunday we will talk again. He came to church and had a good experience at church. After we met and taught him again. We again focused on the Book of Mormon and talked about how true it is as well as answered all his questions. At the end we talked about what he has to do when he knows it is true and he said well I cant lie to you guys I feel good every time you come here but it is just way different to what I am used to. We talked about how we don't want him to follow just because we say it but because he feel is it is true. He said yeah I feel it is true but he still just wants some time. I told him that It will bless his life in all aspects and now he is starting on a long path of blessings for ever. It is super cool to see it all coming together, I know the Book of Mormon is true. you can too all you have to do is read and ask..... its that simple!

Love

Jun 4 - Last Transfer

Well we had just finished the second to last transfer, and it went by so fast. my transfer is that I am staying with Elder Rabeemananjaina in Amparihy, I am really excited to stay in Amparihy with Elder Rabe. I am hopping to see a few more of my investigators get baptized, also looking forward to spending more time with our recent converts.

Some really cool things that happened this past week we had a few brand new investigators come to church this past week the coolest one was Nicola he is so cool, he came to church and now he reading the Book of Mormon and searching the truth, we left Sunday with homework of him reading the Book of Mormon and searching for the truth, he works everyday this week so can't learn until next Saturday so we will see what the spirit does for him this week. One of the realizations I have had on my mission is what I say really is not all that important in the conversion of an investigator, If I don't speak the language super well like I did in Reunion, or if I say something really bold really wont effect the investigator too much. But what will affect him is if he feels the spirit, if he gets a confirmation that what I say is true, If he himself is searching for the truth and desires to find it. That is what really effects them. I hope this week he has a great week with the Book of Mormon and the spirit I will continue calling him this week to remind him but I am looking forward to what he feels and learns personally this week. On Saturday I imagine our lesson will be a little bit of a question and answer but mostly just talking about what he learned and felt from the things he read. Please pray for him to be able to hear the spirit.

I love this mission, things are going great! I could talk about 30 other investigators just like Nicola. I love the work I am doing. Be safe and have fun this week
