Cookies are fungal growth that taste grainy, because they ejaculated rainbows extravagantly on xeogaming during preparations for rectal seepage felching while standing on fifty llamas flying over Score's bonus dishwasher. Score nasally protested Indonesian involvement anywhere should Kyrgyzstan decide, democratically, if Obama will poop daintily on Congressional bickering regarding Ninjas castrating Australopithecan children with rusty cheese-graters or if Xeo will cry urine diamonds from above his vaginal herpes onto Pakistani ambassadors. Kyrgyzstan officials ruled neither Cookies nor Obama African-American Jones could nuzzle Indonesians; however, Xeo didn't like fornicating loudly because Pakistani nudists bitch about his microscopic phallus flailing frantically in the face of adversity and this monkey. Xeo's decision to refuse tits pictures displeased Xeogaming so much, Score cleaved shit in honor of France's raping of him. Ironically, France defecated cookies, making shit for magical.

Yeah, that is largely my same list. Joffrey is such a fucking prick... I love that scene where Tyrion bitch slaps him. And yeah, Sansa bugged the fuck out of me until she started waking up to reality... still not my favorite, but she's improved.

Daeny is one of the characters that I liked better in the book because she is a very internal character, and so a lot of the things that make her interesting didn't really make it into the show. She came across as... well... flat. Same thing with Bran.

Yeah, he is a ward... but also basically a hostage. His father rebelled against King Robert and as part of the peace agreement Theon is made the Stark's ward since he's now the heir to the family. They talk a lot about the Greyjoys and the Ironborn.

Rickon is tied in with the Bran chapters... both Rickon and Robb never have chapters of their own. I believe that the Robb ones are all Catelyn's. But yeah, I really like how he has turned out in the show, and we should see a lot more of him next season.

Ok, so I got a batch of letters from Vulkar! I will put some dashes in between so we know which is which.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Xeogamers,

So, in about a week, I will cease to be an official greeny in the mission field. Which is to say, I will now be considered an actual missionary, rather than that one guy who's getting follow-up trained by an Elder Groberg. You know what that means? Yeah, that means excitement.

Although I might be getting moved to a different area soon too, which I suppose wouldn't be too terrible. I'd really prefer to stay here, but I've done good work and learned a lot in this area. The members are starting to get pumped about missionary work, and we've been finding some really good people who want to learn. We'll find our Monday though, if I really am leaving.

As for life out here, you remember that muslim group I said we started teaching last e-mail? Well, we not only succesfully made peace with them, but have also been going over with them to read from the Quaran/book of Mormon. It's actually a really interesting experience, I'm learning a lot of their beliefs, and they're learning a lot of ours. They also just recently expressed just how much they enjoyed us coming over there to share our beliefs, and that they want to start reading the Book of Mormon cover to cover with us.

Yeah, that was a good day. They're really nice people, too. They always bring out some orange juice or lemonade when we come by, since we can't drink tea like the rest of them.

Anyway, for a more entertaing story, The apartment recently noticed how much butter I always ate, frying chicken in it, putting it on my sandwiches, putting a lot in my eggs/oatmeal/everything, and so one of them challenged me to eat four sticks of butter at once. I declined, but said that I could try drinking two sticks. They were shocked, and quickly started making videos as the butter was melted, including a song, demonstrations, and more. Needless to say, we were all pretty entertained. Then it came time to drink the butter.

Everyone, I would never advise, no matter how strong you believe you are, drinking two sicks of butter at once. I managed to keep it all down, but for about an hour, I was standing by the sink, drinking small sips of water to water down the insane amount of butter, until I realized that water and grease don't mix, so I really wasn't doing anything.

It's an odd sensation to feel that much butter going down, especially the burning sensation as it reaches your stomach. The next day I felt a bit sick, but fortunately then it was the day we do weekly planning, so I didn't have to move until my stomach was starting to feel better.

Never do this! Seriously, never. Not quite as bad as salt poisoning (which I got a couple years ago), but still pretty terrible.

The area I'm working in has recently been really picking up. Elder Groberg and I have really been focusing on finding more people to teach, and that involved searching through all the potentials/referals that were never contacted in the past couple years. Doing that, as well as continuing to teach those we already have, has been really good. There are a lot of people that we've been able to start teaching, and a lot of people nearby who want to hear this message.

One person, for example, is Thelma, who immediately said for us to come in and start teaching, and then invited us to go back and share some more. Exciting, and I'm really liking how this area is shaping up.

It also really helps me learn about people. We started teaching an eleven year old, Briaunna, whose single mother left the church for a long time, and has only recently resurfaced. So, it is good that her mother wants this for her child, but she's also moved three times in the past year, and is about to get married, meaning that baptism is pretty much the last thing Briaunna cares about. While I think that is could be good for her, I honestly don't blame her at all if she's not interested. It really shows how much a mother's actions ccan impact their children.

But we try, and that's what matters.

Anyway though, I do need to get going, but I'll e-mail you all again in another few weeks!

Thanks,
Vulkar/Alex

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone,

So, first off, sorry it's been a little while since I sent out another group e-mail, but you know, it happens.

First off, where I am now:

I'm still in Rocklin, been here for a while now, but I still really like the ward I'm in, so I'm perfectly fine with that. My last companion, Elder Healey, just finished his mission, and was a crazy Trekkie. By crazy, I mean really crazy. By Trekkie, I mean Trekkie enough that when he got up to introduce himself in testimony meeting, he quickly informed the ward that he loved Star Trek, and that Star Wars was stupid. In other words, really Trekkie.

Now though, I'm training Elder Vernon. It was actually really hilarious when I first met him. All the trainers and trainees went into a room, and the Assistants to the President had the trainer first come up to the stand, and then the trainee.

So who did I get? Only the only other red-headed person in the room!Everyone in the room was laughing just because they were rooting for us being together. Our mission president claims it's coincidence, and I would believe him, except that he's also been known to put the tallest guy in the mission with the shortest, he put Elder Ulrich with Elder Rich, etc etc. Basically, hilarity ensues.

And I naturally put him through the trial of fire. Less than a week into it, I grabbed a full can of Bush's Baked Beans (with maple flavored bacon) and suggested that he place his finger on our granite counter top, and slam the can into it as hard as he could. Naturally, he promptly obeyed.

And for those who are wide-eyed and thinking I'm absolutely cruel and crazy, he came out completely unharmed. See, if you slam it as hard as you can, the counter will actually absorb the impact, and your finger will come out fine, just putting a gigantic dent into the can.

I now challenge every one of you reading this to try it. Call me crazy, but if you actually do it, I'm actually serious, you'll come out fine. Just make sure you do it with the side of the can, not one of the ends. We don't want any dismembered fingers. Also, if you don't do it as hard as you can, you'll probably break your finger, and that's just no good.

In other news, we recently just had a baptism. Jonathan Lynn, the son of a recent convert, started meeting with us, and we asked him if he wanted to be baptized pretty much right off. At first he said no, but after we met with him for a few weeks, he said he'd pray about it, and came back the next week saying he got an answer and wanted to be baptized. Six weeks later, we taught him everything, making sure that he knew what it really meant to become a member of our church, and he was baptized. The service went beautifully, he asked a couple of his friends in the church if they would speak at his baptism, and them asked me if I would be the one to actually baptize him.

Really, few things felt better than to have that chance, because I knew that this would be one of the biggest things he'd ever do in his life. For those who aren't Mormon, I know that that sounds like a pretty bold statement, but all the members I've ever talked to about this, they agree. Almost every blessing I've received ties somehow into me having been baptized, and I have faith that that will continue.

I've also started a kind of surprising thing going in the ward, where we're taking some of the less-active members, the ones with a weaker testimony of the church, and bringing them with us to teach whoever we're meeting with. It has to be done carefully, and it has to be done right, but I've really noticed that when people have an opportunity, to teach what they know, it really strengthens them, really makes them stronger. Once I tell our Ward Mission Leader about a couple of the people we'll be taking with us, I'm pretty sure he'll call me crazy, but he trusts me enough that I'm pretty sure he'll go along with it.

Anyway though, I gotta get going, and next time I'm taking a while to send one of these, just tell my dad you're looking forward to one fo them, and he'll remind me. See you then!

Elder Tigges

*This one was also sent to his family
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hey everyone,

So, first off, sorry I haven't sent one of these out in a while, but I'm finally getting around to it, so enjoy!

Life in the mission field for ye ol' Elder Tigges. (heh, old, because...Elder...no one's laughing...heh. I'll stop now)

Life has been going really well out here. As I said in my last group e-mail, a long long time ago, I am in Rocklin right now, and will probably be here for another three months. Honestly then I really love this area, all of the members are awesome, all the missionaries around are great, and in general, everything is going good. Right now I'm serving as Senior companion (because I've been in the area the longest) to Elder Healey, who is about four weeks away from going home. Needless to say, he has a lot of trouble staying focused, and not just because of his ADD medicine, which also causes epilepsy. But our mission president wants me to make him end strong, so I'm working him hard, and plan to keep working him until he steps on to that plan to go home.

Recently we've been teaching a fourteen-year-old boy who normally lives with his foster parents, but lives with his mom on the weekend/over the summer. His mom was baptized about two years ago, and just now, he said that he wants to be baptized. Needless to say, hearing him say that made me very happy. This is, in my mind, going to be the single most important step he may ever take in his life, as everything which follows, who he marries, who he knows, what he does to follow God, all of it will be a reflection of this which is about to come. there are few things that could make me happier than this.

Another family we're teaching, the Byrds, have known since I've been here that the church is true. However, Steve Byrd, the father, has had a lot of struggles because of some unfortunate experiences growing up as a Jehova's witness. When his wife divorced him, back when he was a member of their church, he was excommunicated because a gospel centered family clearly would never fall apart. Thus, since his wife left him, that means that he was not following the gospel, and must be in needs fo excommunication. So, his family were forced to disown him, all his friends left him, etc.

So, because of these experiences, he hasn't managed to come to church yet. It's reached the point where he was dressed up and standing at the door, but because he was afraid we'd be like the Jehova's Witnesses, he just couldn't walk out the door. He could read the Book of Mormon every night with his family, he loves talking to us, but walking out the door is the hardest thing he could ever do.

However, things are changing. His wife has determined that with or without him she was going to start going to church, and once she starts going, I'd be shocked if he doesn't start following. So, this Sunday, we're hoping to see at least her at church, and eventually get them all to the point where they can be baptized.

Other than that, this area really has grown recently. As I mentioned before, before I got here, the other elders either baptized or dropped everyone that they were teaching, so when I got here, there were only a couple we were teaching. Now, we've got about eight. Not neccesarilly because of us missionaries, but also because of all the great work that the members nearby have been doing. We had one of them, Sean Lyons, once call us up just to say that he was making cookies, and he wanted to know who that we were teaching we'd like him to bring them to. Yeah, it was awesome.

Being out here has also showed me a lot about the financial state America is really in. There's one family we're teaching who are unemployed. The wife isn't able to work for physical reasons, including a bad heart, back problems and epilepsy. The husband can't work because he injured both his arms on the job, so he should have been recieving workers compensation. However, the husban's worker's comp was just taken away, and they now have to live off of the wife's Social Security income of $99 a month. We've also met a ton of people who are out of the job just because nobody will take them, or others because they're too old and had to be laid off their last job.

In other words, compared to California, my home of North Carolina is doing absolutely awesome.

But then there are still those people who try and take advantage of the situation. We had a couple call us the other day asking for church welfare and a movie. When we got there, we discovered taht they lived in one of the richer neighborhoods in the area, and they were both completely drunk. So why did they need welfare? Because a full time job at home depot wasn't cutting it for the bills they had to own that house. We refered them to the bishop, of course, but given their hostile reply when we returned later, I'm pretty sure that he denied them.

Anyway though, I need to get going, but I promise I'll send these e-mails a little more often from hereon out. No more procrastinating for a month. So I'll see you all later!
