Dear Mom and Dad,
So this week has been really good. I really enjoyed General Conference this week. We would watch every one in the huge meeting room. It was really cool especially because I paid attention the whole time. I never have taken so much away from General Conference in my life. I actually had about a full 18 pages of notes on it. It was really amazing and I felt the spirit the whole time. I also felt like many of the talks were directed at me. Obviously I didn't really try and apply how to raise a daughter to my life but I still took a lot of notes for the future. My language is coming along but I still just don't feel confident at all. It is going to be a huge wake up call in Mongolia. I heard that BYU won and was pretty happy about that. So I did get the shirts for all you guys but I think the cheapest way to send it will be to send it to Kristalyn, and when she comes down she can give it to you.
So really this week has been good. I can tell things are a little stressful at home right now. So I will elaborate a little more on my feet. So first, I went to the health clinic thinking that they would just have a doctor there to burn them off. But, they don't have a doctor there that will do that so I was then set up with a doctor off campus. As the lady called him they said they could get me in right then. So, I got a shuttle pass and me and my companion went on a little ride down to University Avenue. It was so weird actually being in the real world. I realized that out in Provo I had no purpose what so ever. It was weird also to ride in a vehicle when I haven't been in one for like 2 months. Well, then I went into the doctors office. I went in there and they said I was covered by Missionary Medical. Well, then they took me into the room. When the doctor saw my warts he said I should have been there a month ago so he could have started the process. Oh well. He then took a little thing that used air pressure to shoot medicine underneath the skin. He pretty much said that burning warts off usually doesn't work that well and that for now on I should go to a specialist for it because general doctors don't know this. So, after all this he said that I was to come back in two weeks. Well, he said that I would probably have some warts in mongolia and that he would do all he could to get them down. That is why I need that prayers and I am thankful for them. I had my companion give me a blessing so they would heal faster. I just need to have faith that the lord will heal me. So that was my experience this week. It was really weird. This week one of the elders in our district really sprained his ankle bad. At first we thought it was a break but through the lord's mercy nothing more than a sprain. I just really want to get to Mongolia right now. The MTC does begin to get a little repetitive. Well I'm praying for all of you because I know that it must be pretty hard. Everyone is having their own trials right now it seems. Hey we also had an awesome fireside speaker this week. We had Chad Lewis come and talk to us. It was really cool and he had a lot of really great stuff to say. Well thank you for all your prayer's. They have really helped me. I love you all and Mom, you don't need to send me any wart stuff. I really appreciate the examples that all of you have set for me. I don't know how I could be here if it wasn't for all of you. I just soooo excited to get to Mongolia. Well good luck and know that I'm praying for you all. I love you all.
Love Elder Williams/ Richie
