Dear Mom, Dad, and Grandma Williams and all other family,
So this week has been pretty good. Me and my companion are doing
really well and we have met quite a few less actives. That is the
thing that recently has been on my mind. Why do people go in-active?
I thought about it and thought about it and I still can't find an
answer but I do have some thoughts. I would just really encourage you
all to go and help any struggling families that are in-active or have
a possibility to go in-active. The one thing I thought about was that
these people just need to realize that what they have taken upon
themselves is a life commitment, not just something to do and think
about it later and say that was fun. When we are baptized we promise
to follow the Lord's commandments and endure to the end. Oh well, I
am trying to get many of them to understand this now. Well my little
investigator Anujin came to church again and so did her brother
Ulaanaa. That was cool but he is about 18 and I don't know how
interested he actually is. So Mom, don't hurt yourself trying to get
the flowers to grow. I know you and I know that you have probably
managed to get the girls to move some bricks for you and you just keep
on doing that. Just delegate it to the little girls. (they probably
won't like that I said that) Anyway I am glad that you are getting
better Also good job for trying to help our neighbors. Even the
little things count. So Dad, when I heard about all the boys in the
ward I admit I got really excited. I think it is so cool to know that
the guys in my priest quorum have all become wonderful missionaries
for the Lord. This week we taught a lot of our inactives and new
members about friends. In Alma 17:1-3 I just think about how when
Alma learned that all of his brethren were still working for God and
what they had done that he rejoiced. I admit that when I hear about
the other Elders from our ward it just makes me happy to know that we
are all over the world. Well Grandma Williams, I appreciate your
message for so much. Lately I have really been overcoming my fears of
many things and that I am grateful that the Lord is constantly
watching over me. As I have been here the one thing I learned is that
the Lord truly does know us, personally. He knows our prayers and he
knows what we can become. I just can't help but feel comfort every
time I think that the Lord is watching all of is faithful servants. I
think about the many verses in the Book of Mormon that says that "His
sheep are numbered" It makes me realize that we are his sheep and he
has numbered each one of us. He counted us one by one. He knows
exactly who we are. So this week we also taught a lot about service.
I learned that we should never be tired of doing good works because
in the end we will feast in the kingdom of God. The scripture is in DC
60's well it is marked in Mongolian and I have only recently memorized
it for investigators so please forgive me for not knowing the exact
verse. So anyways just always remember that it is these little works
that will lay this great work's foundation and that will help us feast
in the heavens above. I love you all and remember that the Lord is
with us. Good luck and I love you.
Elder Williams

 Dear Little Girls,
 So how is life? you bain? I hope you are all having a wonderful week.
 Rachel that sounds great how you are receiving revelation for
 yourself. I really enjoy reading the book of Mormon for that very
 reason. I can always find something to apply to myself and make
 myself better. It also is a great thing to learn to forgive. Always
 know that to forgive and to forget is just what Jesus will do for you
 if you endure to the end. I thank you for the prayers and keep up
 just being your good little self. Well Caelen, you can talk all about
 the boys you know and it is like home. Well it is good that people
 are giving you complements. always remember how good you feel when
 you get one and know that if you give just a little one you can make
 their day. So just throw the CD in for Zoo tycoon and go to my
 computer. Well Rebecca you still forgot to tell me one thing. Who
 did you go with? I really am quite quite quite quite curious. Yeah
 and also go and tell that city council that they need to hold a city
 dance so you can go on another date. :) So Anujin came to church
 again which is really good. We are going to try and get her baptized
 soon if we can. We just have to keep meeting with her. So this week
 we have also been helping out in-active members. Little girls please
 make friends with all the inactives. You don't know how much more
 difficult it makes my work when people don't really know those
 inactive members. When they have a good friend it influences their
 will to come. Well I hope you are all having a good time. So today
 it snowed today and so it was a little downer but me and my companion
 are doing great and my language skills are coming along so everything
 is good. Girls just keep it up and remember that you are on the right
 path. Don't let anything pull you off and if you do go off don't let
 anyone tell you that you can't get back on. We can always get back on
 that path. I love you and good luck with all your testing. Love
 Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
 Yes I have gained weight.  About 1.5 lbs.  I hope that is enough for
you.  Personally I kind of like some of it off.  Well thank you for
the Skype account and please send me the one I have to call just
in case.  So I'm so glad that you understand the gospel so well.  It
sounds like your lesson went great.  Hey that is great about your
finals.  SO this week was pretty good.  We are having a great time and
we are just working our very hardest.  Yeah we don't have a lot of
outside success but I feel pretty good after the end of a day where I
have probably walked 6 or more miles.  I have become quite good at
walking.  SO yesterday was so dusty that is almost was a sand storm.
Well anyway it was hard to see.  Well good luck on the job and
remember that the Lord is watching you and rejoicing over you.  Don't
give up your standards for anyone or anything.  That is what will
strengthen you.  Well I love you and you just keep up the great work.
Love Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,
So this week has been really good. It has been really nice to be
able to hear from you as always. I still can't believe Rebecca went
to Prom. That is so weird. Well I am glad to hear that Mom is being
able to go to church. It is also weird to hear that she isn't eating
as much ice cream is normal. :) Well we do have Russian ice cream
which is really good. But I don't get it a lot due to just our budget.
Well this week has been warm and we also have a really good
investigator named Anujin. She is coming to church now and wants to
be with the young men and women. So this week I have talked to a lot
of people. I don't want you to take this negatively and know that
this isn't how all of the people are but most of them were drunk. It
does produce some interesting stories though. So thank you for
setting up a skype account up for me. I was actually wondering the
same thing. Well my language skills are coming along a lot better
even though they are not even near good. Yesterday I felt my
understanding go up in leaps and bounds but today nothing much
happened other than my students trying to figure out if I can speak
Mongolian or not. It is interesting because I now can understand what
my students are saying even though some of them haven't figured this
out. So my companion is great and we are working really hard to
enlarge our pool of investigators. This week has been really good and
we are beginning to have a little success. I think that if we keep
going with all our might eventually we will find more good
investigators. So tell Kristalyn that if I was her I would also be
embarrassed. But I still love her anyway. Well I can't send pictures
today Sorry because we have to give a letter to somebody pretty
quickly but don't worry they will come. Thank you for all the support
and I realized this week just how happy we can be. I am still amazed
at the peace I feel when I follow the gospel. Even though in the
world's eyes it might not look like our lives are anything special the
fact is that we have something they can never had. We have a
foundation that we can build on where we can not fall and where we
will always be secure. I love you all and keep building upon that
rock. Love Elder Williams

Dear Sisters,
YOU WENT TO PROM???!!!!!! Rebecca, you and me need to have a talk
about your recent dating habits. This is really weird for me. I
don't know if I can survive. I might be hyperventilating right now.
I think I just passed out...........................

.... no, I'm okay.
Well that was really surprise. But, you forgot to tell me one thing.
Who did you go with? I need to know so I can give permission. :)
Well good for you. So Rachel, I'm sorry you couldn't go outside and
play frisbee. I wish you could have. Well Lord of the Rings sounded
good. Just keep that up and remember that I am rooting for the good
side. Except for the movie Mulan. I've changed a little. So I hope
you are all having a good time. So I had a good week. We have a good
new 14 year investigator named Anujin. She is really good and she is
going to all of the branch activities. She did feel bad that she
couldn't make it to the church cleaning activity. That is how good
she is right now. I just hope she can keep it up. So my Mongolian is
beginning to get better because now my students in my English class
have got into the bad habit of asking me questions in Mongolian. The
problem is that I respond in English and so lately they are
understanding that I understand. So now they all have theories about
how I learned so fast. Well the weather is getting warmer and the sun
is up at almost 6:30 right now which is nice compared to winter. So I
finally don't have to wear my coat a lot now which has been a nice
change. SO this week I have been thinking a lot about the Atonement
and what it does for us. I think the thing that struck me was that
even if only one of us made it back to Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ
still would have taken all the sins of the world and pains upon
himself. It just amazes me to think of that kind of love. Always
remember that Jesus knows exactly how you feel because He has felt
that specific pain. He knows your pain specifically. Always remember
that and draw strength from it. Well sisters, I love you and I know
that if you keep on going down this plan of happiness that you will
receive just that, happiness.
Well, Caelen, I am glad you are having a good time. And you just keep
on driving that car two feet. :) So Yoda is absolutely a good name
because he is short and green and awesome. You need to stop beating
yourself so badly in chess. I am sure that you feel really good and
yourself feels really beaten. :) Well Caelen, remember that hugs are
really good and if you give enough of them it makes you feel good and
the person being hugged also feels good. Just remember that this
gospel puts you on an eternal path that leads to endless joy and
peace. I just wanted to tell you this because can you imagine what it
will be like to have eternal joy and peace?!! Never having to worry
about a thing. Just remember that it is never worth it in this life
to not stay on this path compared to eternity. Well good luck and
just keep following the path of happiness. I love you and good luck.
I love you and good luck!!! Elder

Kristalyn,
Well this week I had a drunk ask me for my watch and I had a drunk ask
if we play saxophones at church and another drunk ask me if we give
out money. Yeah, I am really tight with the drunks in my area. Well
it isn't dangerous just kind of funny. The only thing it made me
realize is that I will never drink alcohol. It made me realize how
much it rips apart families. Sometimes it makes me really depressed
because this is destroying the families of Mongolia. Oh well that is
what I am trying to help with. So the whole bike thing sounds really
embarrassing. But I could see myself doing the same thing on
accident. So don't get too worried about it. So Kristalyn I don't know
what I can tell you to do but just realize that your biggest source of
advice is the person that knows everything. Kristalyn, God is with
you and he will help you if you ask him. Realize that personal
revelation comes in many ways and be prepared to receive it when you
need it. Realize that the Atonement can fix everything. I won't give
you much advice in this area due to that fact that I don't really feel
like it is my place but Heavenly Father knows you and he knows what
you need to do. Sometimes he might let you do a little of the choices
by yourself but he will still guide you if you sincerely ask. Good
luck and I love you.
Love Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,
So this week has been really good this week. My new companion is
Elder Verdusco and he is from San Francisco. His family is from
Mexico and so he can speak Mongolian, Spanish and English. He is
really great and already I can tell he has been called to my area for
a reason. We already have some very good possible investigators lined
up for tonight. So my Mongolian is coming along and I guess it always
will get better but the thing I have to realize is that I am better
than I think I am. My self confidence has always been a problem but I
think that I can speak better than I believe I can. Especially
through the Lord's help I can speak almost anything even if it doesn't
make sense to me. So I got to listen to General Conference this week
and I loved it so much. I felt the spirit so strongly the whole time
and I really enjoyed every single talk. I have so much more guidance
now and I am so grateful for the Lord giving us this opportunity to
hear from his living representatives. The weather has got really nice
and it is beautiful today. I don't have to wear an outside coat
anymore. It does help to have some more light and heat. So the thing
I learned the most from conference was....well alot. I really liked
Elder Bednar's talk and I also really enjoyed President Uchtdorf's
talk and President Eyring's talk and the list just goes on and on. I
did learn that I really want to change who I am and I want to be more
like the savior. I know so much now through all the Conference talks.
Well it sounds like you are all having a wonderful time back at home.
Mom, it is good to know that you have organized your troops to go to
battle against the weeds. Also Dad, I am curious to know how that
copper bracelet turns out. There are a lot of Mongolians that wear a
solid copper bracelet around their wrists. (I hope it isn't a medical
reason) (apparently eating horse meat takes away a cold) (Or wolf
meat) So I am glad to know that you are all just enjoying spring. I
hope Elder Barrie can get his VISA. Though I know that he is doing
great in Oklahoma. So over 1/3 of my mission is over? I really don't
count. The only thing I do count here is when I don't have to teach
English over the summer break. Well I thank you for all of your
prayers and I know that you are all doing well with the Lord's help.
Tell the family I appreciate all their examples. I love you and wish
you all good luck.

Dear Little girls (but getting bigger (hopefully not fatter)) :)
So this week has been pretty good. It has been really great to
hear from you all. So my companion is a great guy named elder
Verdusco. He can speak spanish, Mongolian, and English. It is pretty
sweet. So I did manage to listen to all the sessions of General
Conference and let me just say that is was amazing. I learned so
much. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to hear from
the living prophets and apostles. I have so much more guidance now,
for the future and for my mission. I admit I didn't take notes on
only just one talk. yeah that was the one about the Relief Society.
But I did pay attention the whole time. Well the thing I liked the
most was just how much I want to change. Right now I really just want
to grind down and accept all my priesthood duties. I learned that the
we get to hear from our prophet for these very reasons. We need to
understand and apply the things we need to change. Well it sounds
like Caelen that you will have another really fun game to play in a
few months. That really is awesome and go and put your BREAD in the
toaster. Remember you get toast from a toaster. :) So Rachel you
little ninja you, keep up the good work. So for the answer, no I
haven't listened to it yet but that is not because I don't want to.
It is just hard to get to listen to it when everyone is all around you
in the internet cafe. If you want to, later this year or even this
coming Christmas send it on a CD. So Rebecca I am so grateful you had
a good time at family testimony meeting. That sounds really cool. We
also need to think about how our will needs to mirror the will of the
Savior. The thing I always think about is how Jesus Christ always,
always followed the will of the father no matter what he was put
under. We need to submit our will the same way he did. It also makes
you realize how much Jesus and God love us. They have given us all
the opportunities to be happy in this life. We just have to follow
them and then no matter what comes we will be happy. Well, little
sisters I love you and remember that the Lord is always watching over
you. Remember that the Lord will be on your right hand and on your
left if you just trust him. I love you and good luck. Elder

Dear Kristalyn,
So the Easter Bunny didn't come here but if you want to know the
direct translation of Mongolian of Easter is the Red Egg Holiday.
Well Conference was wonderful. I really enjoyed President Uchtdorf's
talk on how we all need to be forgiving and not let experiences damage
our view of others. Well you are going on dates? Shame on you. JK
:) Kristalyn the advice I could give you on family is not that hard.
The fact is that there are many families around you that you may not
notice. Sometimes that hardest times of families are when the parents
are students. In my opinion how wonderful would it be if you could
just give one of those young mothers a plate of cookies or just make
their day a little happier? That is what I plan to do is just make
these little struggling families happier. I am not saying you have to
do it but that is my advice on how to strengthen families even when
they are not your own. Well I know that if you serve others this will
cause all the loads you have to become lighter. Well I love you and
keep up the good example. Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,
Well this week has been pretty good. SO this week I was able to understand the concept of "perfect love casteth out all fear." I was able to teach with some power through the Holy Ghost because I really cared about the investigators I was talking to. It made me realized just how much I cared for them and I just hope this feeling of love can help me overcome all fears of talking or making mistakes in the language. Well, the language as always keeps improving. So this week I got my new transfer call. I will.....stay in my old area of Chingeltei but I get a new American companion named Elder Verdusco. It should be wonderful to work with him especially since it makes me have to use my language skills to introduce him to all my investigators. Well this coming Sunday I will view General Conference. It should be really nice to hear from the prophet. I am so excited to hear from him. I really just can't wait to take notes. Well my old companion will go to the country and become a branch President. It was good to hear that all of you are doing fine this week. It was really a good week for me especially because it is warming up. I am really grateful for all of your support. Sorry I can't write a lot but today we are really busy with getting ready to clean the house and move my old companion out. Well I love you and thank you for all of your letters.

Sisters:
So this week has been pretty good. So this week I will get a new companion. I am staying in my area but my whole district will become Americans. My companion will be Elder Verdusco a really nice elder who likes to have fun. It should be pretty great. I am pretty excited for it but I will miss my old companion. Well this week has been pretty good and the language is improving as always. It was really cool to teach a lesson this week where I didn't stumble over any words. (It still was really short) Well I am excited to see General Conference. It should take place this coming Sunday. I will get to see it in English which is nice. Well I also have had a good week when it comes to speaking. I have really felt my personality being able to shine a little more through the language and now I will really have to learn well because I will have to introduce my new companion to my area. It should be a really good experience for me. Well little girls it sounds like you are all having a good time. keep up the good work and be really good for me. I love you and sorry about my smaller email but today I am being kind of rushed because of my companion really wanting to play basketball. Anyway I love you and good luck.

Well Dear Kristalyn,
It is good to know you are doing well. For the food I normally never have been sick. I do really normally like the Mongolian food. For the General Conference we are seeing it this coming sunday. It should be really fun especially because I just got transferred. I am staying in my same area but I am now with a little american named Elder Verdusco. He should be great to be with and next week it should increase my e-mail time enough to send some good pictures. Well you and Megan were looking like you were having fun. Just keep having fun and everything will turn out all right. Love Elder Williams I will write more
