What's it really like being a Mormon missionary?
Sister Wolfgram and Sister Lu say the Book of Mormon is often a conversation starter.

Sister Wolfgram can only see her family twice a year via Skype: on Mother's Day, and at Christmas.
She's allowed to email relatives weekly, but as a Mormon missionary, this is the most contact will she have with her family, during her 18 months of overseas service.
"I come from a family of 10, there's four brothers and four sisters, so I miss them a lot," says Sister Wolfgram, who was raised in West Valley City, Utah, a majority Mormon state.
Her family is originally from Tonga, another heartland for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — home to more Mormons per capita than any country in the world. Statistics show that nearly 60 per cent of the population belongs to the church.
"As Tongans, the two most important things are God and family … and then food," Sister Wolfgram smiles.
