HEY! Mr. Rager! Mr. Rager! Tell Us Where You're Going, Tell Us Where You're Headed!

Well Kid Cudi...I'll tell you where im going my friend. Im headed out of Mizzou and headed down to Razorback Country down in Arkansas! Haha YUP!! Im finally leaving! After being in the same area for the past 6 months, like Barack Obama said "Its time for a change.." (I voted for Romney. I voted. HIGHFIVE!) haha Anyways. Im pretty stoked about that! Apparently its a huge city...all the small towns out here hate on it because its Wal-Mart Headquarters. Haha What the heck is a "Wal-Marts?" thats what they call it out here haha.

Anyways, for sure looking forward to that. But this past week was crazy. Cause it was cool and all but filled with a lot of nothing-ness...well...yeah, nothing-ness haha Here was my past week :)

Tuesday October 23rd: Hit it hard this morning and got lumber jacked out and cut down a few trees. Then we split that mug into a million different pieces so that the great peoples of the Aurora ward have need of no fear for the upcoming winter cold.. :) Just read that and it sounded pretty legit...if you ask me at least. :) Anyway, We spent the whole day helping our good ol chum Andy Moss around his place. It what we do every Tuesday. Then Matt and Laura came over and we played Rumey (by the way, that games pretty fun haha All the girls i grew up played that game all the time...i had no idea what it was. I DO NOW! :) ) and thats about it. Ate dinner with all of them over there and called it a night.

Wednesday October 24th: Started the day off with a journey and a half to Joplin for a leadership meeting. It was pretty dope :) Found out that the number of applications for missionaries a week went from 400 to 4000 a week! Whaaaa?!?!?!? Okay Young Men and Young Women!! I see you!!! Thats so crazy though! Oh and our mission is receiving a HUGE increase in missionaries over th next year. 182 as of now to 250!!! Bout to be some young guns up in the OTM. So crazy! Anyways, the meeting went well. Learned how to be a leader and all that good stuff. But year, that meeting was all day long...Pou, you werent kidding when you told me about meetings haha Take ALL DAY....haha

Thursday October 25th: Today we had 2 lessons planned but ended up switching them to the weekend. So we went to Matts house and tore up all the carpet in this room and hall way. Acting like we knew what we were doing haha But thats we did all day really. Helped them take up carpet, tack board and a billion and a half staples ha. Im on that Extreme Makeover stuff.

Friday October 26th: Spent the morning cutting even more wood. And did that for a little while longer. And then some. See, this is what you do when you have 2 progressing investigators haha. Anyways, later that afternoon we picked up a new/old investigator; Tom. Pretty stoked that his testimony has been increasing and hes decided to investigate again. Just sad that i wont be able to be here to teach him. Oh well, hes in good hands. After that we went home and walked around town for a bit but stopped by the Skate Park to talk to a few kids i've become friends with over the last 6 months. We talked about how everyone has assumptions and pre-judgements about skaters and all that i was like "Hey...people think that about mormons too :)" haha True story hansel, thanks olaf.

Saturday October 27th: We spent pretty much the whole day walking around town. Walking down back allys and taking streets i've never been down. Pretty adventurous times if i dont say so myself. Anyways, later that night we met with Paul and Beth. Beths baptized but Paul isnt. We decided that November 24th will be his baptism date and he sounded pretty stoked about it haha Later that nigth i found out that im going to Bentonville, Arkansas! All i know is that its a city and i love me some city!

Sunday October 28th: Last sunday in Aurora. Pretty sad time at church. Didnt really realize how attached i was to the ward. Some pretty heartfelt and sad goodbyes. im going to miss it for sure. Met with little Zach right after church one last time before i dipped out. Hes a good kid. His baptism is scheduled on the same day as Paul's; November 24th.

So, I just re-read through my email and it sounds like im having a conversation with myself haha Sorry that you had to read that but thanks for your efforts. :) So Utah beat Cal this past weekend during our black out and I heard Travis Wilson laid out a nose tackle...?!?! So...Travis Wilson just lays out defensive lineman like its nothing...? Hmmmm....GO TO SLEEP! haha Great job Utes! Keep it up. Good luck with Washington State. Wish i was there playing with my Ute Fam but Im on the Lords team for another 18 Months. OINCE!! haha

Alright, well thats about it I guess...I heard theres a lot going on in Bentonville so hopefully my emails will stop sounding like a boring journal entry haha. Heres my new address. Dont send anymore mail to Aurora...

900 N. W. A Street. APT A
Bentonville, Arkansas
72712

N.W.A haha no, its not what you think it is . its 900 N. WEST A Street. haha

Im Out

Ups and Down in the past week. Haa

 

On The Up and Ups...

 

-Week went by faster than the last

-Got to go on an exchange with my homie Elder Ryan Church from the MTC.

-Lost 9 lbs (Stuuuuuuuuuu!)

-Got to talk to the homies DJ NN2k aka Nicky Jam, Springville's finest; Marcus Case, and future teammate Austin Lee

and

-Saved a baby turtle from death on the road.

 

On The Low...

-Taught close to nothing worth of lessons this past week cause people cancelled

-I might be leaving Aurora (low key okay with it though...)

 

 

Thats about it...Haha. I guess the Good outweighs the Bad. So, thankful for that. At the end of the day, I wouldnt want to be anywhere other than serving the Lord. I love it so hard right now :) This past week we did more service than we did lessons cause 1) Our teaching pool is low. and 2) Those who we are teaching keep cancelling or rescheduling. I think it may or may not be a sign for me to bounce from this area and its on to the next one, ya feel me?? Oh well, "I'll go where you want me to go, dear lord" We'll see. But here was my past week...

 

 

Tuesday October 16th: Had a good time getting my Paul Bunnion on (did i spell that right...? Too lazy to hit spell check haha) Delivered a few truck loads of wood to some families in the ward and cut some more. For those of you who were like me in Utah and never had to worry about cutting wood for your stoves or fireplaces for the winter, its a serious work out haha going ape with an axe and splitting maul for the good of the members in your ward? What more could you want!? :) haha its become a very very good habit haha I was able to cut a tree down with just an axe! Took me a good 45 minutes or so but i still got the job done!!! YOU KNOW!!! Shout out again to Coach E up in SLC for the Strength & Conditioning. Haha Muscle memory is beautiful thing :) We do this pretty much every Tuesday so...sorry for the repeat from last week haha

 

Wednesday October 17th: Started the day off right with some Chastising from our District Leader as always for District Meeting haha I think only missionaries and Return Missionaries know what im talking about here. Basically every District Meeting, you get chewed out for things you're not even doing haha IM OVER IT! After i went on an exchange with my good ol' chum Elder Ryan Church. Caught up on how mish life has been over the past 6 months on the ride home and had PLANNED 3 lessons for the day...but as i said, that didnt happen haha. We ended up at my 2nd families house (The Alms) for a bit and for din din. That was the extent of today...

 

Thursday October 18th: Had a day full of service with another member planned for today (Yes...cutting wood) but other plans for him came up so the idea got scrapped. Couldnt set up anything else with our investigators or potentials so instead of sitting in our apartment all day, we went over to my 2nd families house and helped out around there for the day.

 

(Sorry that my email's not too entertaining haha continuing...)

 

Friday October 19th: Said my goodbyes to the Homie Church and exchanged back today. After exchanges we headed over to a members house to cut up some more wood. Now you must be wondering..."Elder Asiata, how does cutting wood help missionary work" Well let me break it down to you like this. When you're in service to others, you're in service to the lord. Theres a scripture reference right there but i dont know it exactly haha but we helped cut wood for the members neighbor and ended up getting a new investigator out of it. :) Isnt that something!? Funny how that works. Now, all the people who email me and ask why i waste my time doing service on my mission (Names withheld) There IS NO EFFORT WASTED. Some areas and missions teach a million lessons. Some baptized a million people. Well, thats not my mission or my area. And in my area, Service is what we do. It may or may not change when i leave but for now, thats what we do. So dont worry bout it! Haha Okay, im doing venting...moving on :)

 

Saturday October 20th: Me and my Comp Owsla (his last name is Ostler but it sounds like Owsla which is the name of Skrillex's record label; quick trivia for the day!) went and knocked on a few doors, talked to a few people and visited a few less-actives during the day and all that good stuff. Nothing too special to report except some homeless guy complimented us on looking good in our church clothes (SWAG) so we gave him 5 bucks and a book of mormon haha. After that, we went and had dinner with the ALMS.

 

Sunday October 21st: Just another run of the mill sunday :) Gotta love the Sabbath, right? After church we met with our investigator Zach and got things figured out on where to go and when he should be baptized. We're thinking sometime in November...? Oh well, hopefully im here. But thats really how i sunday went. Studied until dinner.

 

 

So, pretty exciting week right?? Haha Im sorry my emails havent been up to par on the entertaining level but as boring as my email sounds, Im enjoying every minute of this mission :) A few years ago, its the last place i Picture myself but i feel beyond blessed :)

Last thing before I end this email is im asking please for your Prayers for my good friend Christian Terry. Keep him and his family in your prayers, please. I love you homie! Pull through and keep fighting. I believe in you uso.

Till Next Time

Weep Little Lion Man

Low Key...Dont even know where to start with this email..haha some P-Days im like, yeyyyy boiiiiiiii! Got so much to say and not enough time! Others im like....yup...this bout to be a 15 minute email sesh haha. Anyways, past week was the for sure the longest week of my life. Almost got hit by a Tornado, Rained for a good 9 hours straight, Did close to nothing and almost cut my leg off splitting wood with a splitting maul...haha crazy week. Not a lot of lessons but more service. Just one of those weeks when you're like...Is it P-Day yet...? Haha anyways, im done complaining. Every day my family sacrifices for me to be out here is a blessing. Im still enjoying it greatly. Here was my past week though...

 Tuesday October 9th: Only had one lesson today; Isabellas last New Member lesson. So we hit up Brother Moss' house and taught her about The Gospel of Jesus Christ. After we spent the whole day cutting wood. I've found it to be a pretty legit work out and new hobby. I split like...2 ricks? Or whatever that is or however you measure it. Thats what he said. I was out there for a good 5-6 hours. I found that you go into some deep thought while cutting wood...(o_o) kinda weird but whatevers. Thats what we did the whole day...just cut up wood for him and other members in our ward.

 Wednesday October 10th: Started today off with District Meeting with our District, Zone Leaders and Assistants. Talked about "Finding" and how we could better apply that to our areas. Low key...its rough out here in the OTM. We lead all the other missions in our surrounding area in Baptisms and Lessons but are wayyyyy behind on finding newp people. For every 1 person we find we baptize 7. But when we only getting that number once a month...its all bad. Heres to finding more people haha. After we went and taught Paul and Beth. His wifes baptized and we've now set another date in November. He was supposed to get baptized on 20th of October but we had to change it so its all good. Right after we headed to The Harringtons and taught them The Plan of Salvation. Went pretty good. They really liked the idea about Baptisms for the dead. After we jetted home for a bit before heading out to the church to teach Zach but when we got there he bailed on us so we just went to institute. 

 Thursday October 11th: Woke up feeling like death...its been gettin cold out here, but im good. Ha After we headed over to Bro. Echols property to cut more wood. We cut down like 4 trees and chopped em all up. They used a wood splitter and i used a splitting maul. Yup, like i said, almost cut my leg off haha. I swung the maul and missed the log and hit my leg Haha No Coordination, i swear haha. I kinda just stood there for a second...and then was like..."Well, Im not bleeding..." Haha I only had a huge bruise and it was swollen for days!!! I guess missionaries are really blessed haha. Thats what we did the whole day though...lots and lots of cutting wood.

Friday October 12th: Had planned to go cut more wood at Bro. Echols but the rains started coming in so he called and cancelled. Luckily, Matt called us and asked if we wanted to come over. And you already know though...We went and hung out at his place all day. Helped him out with some service around their place and...thats about it haha

 Saturday October 13th: So...this whole week we've been carless so it meant we either bike, walk or call members for rides to lessons. Well, a huge relentless storm decided to hit us today with Tornado warnings all over the place. We tried walking to one of these people we visit and the sky turned like...green-orange..?! Haha Tornados. So we went back home and were stuck in the apartment all day long (-___-) Such a long day for real! I could careless about walking around in the rain, but when you hear those Tornado sirens...im straight on that one all day hahaha

Sunday October 14th: Always good to go church on sundays :) The sun came out but it was still like 60 degrees out. A wee bit chilly for sure. Didnt have too much going on today though either. Went and picked up the car from the missionaires we share it with and had dinner to end off the day.

So...if you got through maybe half or even the whole letter if you're dedicated but still got bored...thats how my week was haha Just one of those weeks i guess. I really really REALLY hope i dont have another one like last cause...man it was soooo long and we didnt have anything going on which was a first for sure. Oh well, theres people in the world going through worst, im just happy to be on a mission, ya feel me? :)

Oh yeah, one last thing. Heard we lost to UCLA last saturday...Oh well, what can you do? FIDO. The Ute Fam knows what that means. Congrats to Travis Wilson for his first start. Like i tell everyone out here who are all byU fans by mormon default and have never left the state of Missouri and seem to think The University of Utah is Sodom and Gomorrah, I'd rather be going head up with USC and ASU in the PAC 12 then dropping bombs on CSU and SDSU in the Mt. West. Its all a process and we're just getting started. Utes^ all day.

 Okay, im done now haha Now im just blabbering on about nothing. Thank you all for your support. :) Love you all!

Take Care

And I Heard Em Say...Nothings Ever Promised Tomorrow, Today. But We'll Find A Way...

"Every Woman Deserves To Be Called Beautiful"
 

Yo....True Story Bro... Well Said President...Well Said..

 

 

Well Hello Beautiful Women who read my oh so boring e-mails :) ...oh hello my dudes, who also read this...fix your face... (.__.)

 

Haha So, this past week was very productive. Saw those crazy polys up in Boliver...which is where i spent the vast majority of my week at this past week. Also met one of the most zombie prepared person in the world..like for real. He said its all going to happen and when all the people who thought he was crazy (with the exception of the missionaries. Hes a recent convert) come and look for him when it goes down, hes going to close down his super thick metal doors and laugh. Hah he was pretty funny but ...im going to go find him if it really happens haha. Anyways, i just got done geting my lumber jack swag on, working on the starter and engine of log splitter and chopping a million quarts of wood so...im kind of tired. Haha anyways, here was my past week...

 

 

 

Tuesday October 2nd: Seeing how our teaching pool is incredibly low (Like 2 people...smh) Me and my comp decided to try a new method of finding because tracting in our area is beyond ineffective. The Aurora Area covers about 4-5 cities, Auroa and Mt Vernon being the biggest of all of them. We got the ward roster and marked everyone who is active in church and then broke down all the Less-Active families down to what cities they live in and visit all those in the different cities, on a different day. Today we went the biggest area; Mt. Vernon. Now...in Mt Vernon, its a law that you cant knock on certain peoples door if they take their home address to city hall...you can get locked up for a little while for it...hahaha kinda crazy. But, we hit up all the names in the Mt. Vernon area, about 15 something names...were only able to meet with like 6 or 7 cause no one was home, even when we tried back later! A vast majority...well all of them were not interested. Except for 2 families; The Cantrells and...The Forsyths. Yup, took me a second to get that one in my head. Ya'll dont really need to know their personal business..no offense but this goes on my blog. Haha But we're working with the Cantrells to get them back to coming ot church and the Forysyths are now Methodist and dont have much intrest in the LDS church, but they were probably one of the nicest couples ever!!! They said they support our missionary service and that if there was anything they could do for us, they'd do it. :) Cute Old People!!! That pretty much sums up the day

 

 

 

Wednesday October 3rd: Day 1 of 3 on my exchange in Boliver. Got out here and we met with one of their investigators who they call Grandpa. Taught the Law of Chastity...and i'll tell you. Its a lot easier teaching it to older folk than little children...I think i've done my fair share of the Birds and The Bee's talks with a few of the little kids with their parents! Haha Low key...nah high key VERY AWKWARD. Haha Anyways, Hes geting baptized on the 19th of this month. Today we also visted that crazy Zombie Prepared guy...well to be honest, hes not crazy, he just has a strong feeling that the Zombie Apocolypse is going to happen. Did you know it talks about the dead coming to life in the bible... (.___.) dude....haha Anyways, hes a recent convert so we taught him his new member lessons and that wraps up today.

 

 

Thursday October 4th: Started the day off with a very long and chastising Zone meeting...aparently we're not doing as well as our zone leaders had wished so...they kinda tore us up haha. But its all good :) I know that Aurora is progressing just fine, the only person who can tell us other wise is the Lord...and the mission President, but no worries there :) After i went back to Boliver with my homie Elder Keith Macilroy and did some service for a non-member family. Baled, and yes i counted, 280 bales of hay into a hay barn...I was so dead after that. And we still chopped wood!! Uhh!!!! Muscle Memory is a beautiful thing...shout out to Coach E and the whole Strength & Conditioning Staff up at the U. Oh which reminds me...we lost to USC )': dude. bummer zone haha Its all good. This is all a process...gotta take our lumps at first and slowly but surely push through to the top. It beats droppin bombs on Mt. West teams haha. I'd rather go toes with everyone in the PAC 12 then sweep the MT. West. We'll get there. Whoa...got side tracked haha. But that really was the brunt of our day. Oh we went and taught some less active members with one of the members and we came across a guy who stopped coming to chuch because of a lot of personal reasons but one of them was he couldnt afford church clothes cause he didnt fit any of his old ones anymore. Mom, im going to need some new long sleve white shirts haha I gave 2 of them to the guy and some ties. But, that was the whole day.
 

Friday October 5th: My last day up in Boliver. Started out with meeting with an older lady whos getting baptized on the 20th. Watched Legacy and then headed back toward Boliver; she lived in a town called Humansville....scary town haha. But when we got into Boliver we went and saw those Poly's again. Theres 3 Brothers straight from Samoa and 3 other Tongan cats from Tonga. One of the Samoan brothers is dating a Mormon teine in Hawaii whos related to the Ho Chings in Utah, shout out to Beav one time. He said he wouldnt mind taking the lessons, as long as i taught them to him, when i told him i wouldnt be back after today, he said in samoan, i understand every word he said and it went something like this "Sole, I dont like these white boys (palangis) they think we're going to rob them or something. Thats racist" Haha something along those lines. I told them the message is still the same so hopefully he takes the lessons. We had dinner with them after...felt like i was in heaven! Sapasui, Taro, Masi, Coco Rice and other things...but i dont know how to spell it haha. G.O.O.D Friday.

 

 

Saturday October 6th: Exchanged back and got back to Aurora with enough time to catch the morning session of conference. After we headed to my little league football game and we bombed on them, of course, 53-0. Sad story bro...oh well. We won. After found out the announcement of the new missionary age!!! So....theres about to be a lot of young fellas and ladies out in the feel....Haha all you 17 year olds better get those papers ready!!! #HashtagCalledToServe. Shout out to T. Jex and Inok-Locc. Oh, attended my first Prieshood session ever...Like for reals. Haha I missed every priesthood session my entire life...hooray for my first :) Better late than never.

 

 

Sunday October 7th: I hope everyone enjoyed the words of the Prophet and Apostles today! Very very inspirational talks, Especially Elder Holland!!! Yo...Boyd K. is getting very old...He kind of looked like Mr. Fredrickson from UP. :) haha I love that guy! One of my favorite apostles for sure!!

 

 

Well..there you have it folks :) My week at a glance. Only got 3 weeks left for sure in Aurora, 2 weeks till transfer calls so. To be honest...as much as I love Aurora and the awesome set up i have...Im hoping to get transferred somewhere else. Haha Im coming up on 6 Months and im still here haha. Oh well...I guess when the lords prepared for me and Im prepared for the lord people, I'll be sent to them :)

 

 

I hope everyone has a great week. Also, please keep my brother Christian Terry and his family in his prayers. Go to https://www.facebook.com/BelieveInCt and keep praying and supporting CT. #BelieveInCT

Got These Crazy White Boys Yellin' Cobains Back

Hello Hello G.O.O.D World!!
This past week has been crazy. Went on a grip of exchanges (Well..like 2) and finally, for the first time in 5 MONTHS, saw other Polynesians!!!!! Samoans and Tongans but i was like... d=(^_^)=b My Brothers!!! Haha it was crazy! They were like "The only missionaries we ever see are palangi and they're usually fwams..." Hahahahahaha Yuppp too funny. Felt like i was kickin it with the boys in Provo all over again haha Anyways, here was my past week. It was a lot more interesting than the past. Leggo!

Tuesday September 25th: Today i went on exchanges in Willard with my Zone Leader; Elder Frei. It was...different. Hes dope and all that but we are 2 very very different people haha. We had a good exchange. We spent most of the day contacting referrals and visiting members. We got them 3 new investigators it was too clean. We also helped out with the bishop storehouse out here...i wish we got hooked up with Bishop storehouse food. Those pears in a can?! Im sayin though! Grew up on those right therrrrr!!! Haha later that night we taught the Word of Wisdom to one of their investigators whos getting baptized at the end of the month. Thats pretty much it to be real haha

Wednesday September 26th: Started the day off with a good ol District Meeting. My comps the DL and he pretty much tells me everything we're discussing in the meeting before we attend...so. Haha Its coo though. We talked about Revelation and how important it is in our religion. After i went on exchange out in Boliver. Its little uinversity town. SBU (Southern Baptist University) Like my last exchange, most of the day was spent contact less-actives and members. Then we met with this Tongan cat, John. His wife is a member and hes taking the lessons. They only met with him once before, so we taught the Plan of Salvation. Like it does with most people, the idea of Eternal Families got to pullin at his Heart stings so, i followed the promptings of the spirit and....young boys gettin baptized in 5 weeks!!! GET IT!! Haha it was crazy!!!! Elder Macilroy, the Elder i was on exchange with said they invited him the last time and he said the dude was scared haha. Its all gravy. He asked me to baptize him too so i get to make a trip up to Boliver to baptize him when the time comes!! Yeyyy Buddy!! After his lesson, his wife gave a referrals to "A Polys up the street" Yup...there was good 12 of them in these 2 apartments next to each other. Elder Macilroy was tooooooo scared to go in haha Dont Be Scary BOIIII!!!!! haha I could see why he was though...they were HUGE! Haha, most of them played ball for SBU. We got talkin, some were from Tonga, Samoa and Cali. The cats from the Island said that their parents told them Polynesians werent allowed in the LDS church and that our church was racist... .__. im posted in your living room...obviously not haha. All of them said they want to take the lessons, im going to teach em next week. I do it.. haha

Thursday September 27th: Well, President called 2 days ago and said he wanted to talk to me.... (.__.) yup...i know i didnt do anything wrong...haha besides wear a fresh Flannel to transfer points cause it was cold and i was sick and the AP's were upset but besides that...haha Nah, i met with im and i wasnt in trouble. The meeting we had was actually a surprise. It was a very spiritual, testimony building meeting. Its private so i aint tellin ya'll...haha in a nut shell...he told me that he knows i will be a Trainer, District Leader, Zone Leader then Assistant by the time i get home. He just doesnt know when its all going down. (^_^)=b I'll take it Pres haha. But that was my Thursday....oh and we exchanged back.

Friday September 28th: Spent the day visiting less-actives and tracting. Only lesson we taught was to The Harringtons. We watched the Restoration and talked about all the restored truths that our church was established and restored. It was good spiritual lesson for sure.

Saturday September 29th: First things first. Went to my Little League ball teams 2nd game. The Republic Young Guns. We won 62-0 haha It was sad. They dont have a mercy rule in 6th grade. We had 4 Defensive Scores. All by my D-Line! Yup...Coach Puttin in work on that O and D line haha It was sweet victory. After we blitz the Republic area with those missionaries and taught a 12 lessons haha It was crazy. We put in some serious work out there haha Had dinner with a family out there and headed back to Aurora.

Sunday September 30th: Fast and Testimony meeting. Shared my testimony to the congregation...not a dry eye in the building! (': haha just kidding. It was a very emotional testimony meeting though. That was about the extent of my sunday. Studied all afternoon till dinner then came home and slept...haha


Well, that was my week boy and girls. It was a pretty packed one. This upcoming week should be too haha

Before i wrap this email up, I got word that my toko Sean Halladay passed away...im at a loss for words really. I wasnt as close to him as i'd wished but growing up around PJ and his family, Sean was always there. He told me I had to get him some tickets to a Utah game sometimes haha Ah man, Sean, thank you for everything. when i was younger, I thought you and Sione were the coolest guys ever haha I still think you are Sione haha Rest In Paradise my friend. The wonderful thing about the mission is you teach the Plan of Salvation and you come to understand and realize that your friends and family will see you again. Ofa Lahi Atu Toko.

Till Next Time
