Dear Mom and Dad,
So this week has been a pretty good week so
far. We have taught a lot of lessons and are finding a few new
investigators. Well me and my companion are doing pretty well. We just
had it snow a few days ago and so now the long dark winter begins. It
really is dark. The sun sets at like 3 o'clock. At least that is not
until December. So anyway I am going to get some new gloves today and
hopefully so nice warm socks. This week we helped put in a window in
for some less active members which was pretty interesting. Also the my
english lessons which I teach at the church are going pretty well. Me
and Elder Neuberger (an elder in my district) switch between teaching
the high level english and the low level english classes. SO this
saturday we had this old man come into our class. He expressed is
interest in learning English and said he wanted to sit in the high level
class. But he mistakenly sat in the low level class which I happened
to be teaching that day. At first I was grateful because both me and
Elder Neuberger thought that he was just an old man that thought he was
pretty good at English, but when he started talking I was completely
taken by surprise. He spoke really good english and I was in shock for
the first 5 minutes. SO that was interesting. Other than that there
really wasn't that much else this week. So Odmaa is doing really well
in the church and is learning and growing in it sooo much. She takes
her calling so seriously which is a door greeter and she does really
well. Anyway it is so wonderful to see somebody grow through the
gospel. So my other english classes are doing pretty well so far and so
far it seems like I will be able to stay in the country. Or at least
everybody is really positive about it. It seems like one of the real
anti mormon guys was just switched to a different department or
something like that so hopefully everything should work out just fine.
Well life here is good other than the fact that it is getting cold.
also Ulaanbaatar during the winter gets really smoggy which is also no
fun. To be honest it is the worst smog I have ever seen. but right now
it isn't too bad. Apparently this coming winter is supposed to the
colder than the past several years but Mongolians said that last year
too. It seems to always be the rumors before a winter. The Mongolians
are a very supersticious people some time and so this kind of thing
happens a lot. Well it sounds like you are doing really good Mom. I
hope you get everything done before it snows which to be honest I know
you can. Just don't overwork yourself as I know you do so often. :)
It sounds like Elder Munday was great to hear from. Dad, thank you for
sharing the scripture with me. It was so great to read and it made me
realize that sometimes even when I don't have success that I am still
here to warn people whether they accept me or not. Thank you so much.
Well it sounds like ByU did bad again which isn't really a surprise.
Well hopefully they do good when I'm there. So anyway I was reading a
little out of the old testament today and was really just impressed by
the story of Elisha and his servant and how "they that be with us are
more than they that be with them." We always need to remember this and
we never need to give up or feel down because of the world. We just
need to remember that God will win. and if we are obedient we will win
with him. I'm am so grateful for a wonderful family and for the only
true church. I love you and good luck. Love Elder Williams
Dear Caelen and Rachel,
I'm am so glad to hear from you today.
It has been wonderful to be able to see your emails. So this week has
been pretty good for me and we have done a lot of work. So this week we
a great time talking and helping many of the members. I actually
helped put a window in a house of some of our inactive members this
week. It was really cool and it was good to be able to help them. So
the Unur ward is doing pretty well and yesterday we had a great lesson
on why we all need to do family history work. It is possible to do
family history work in Mongolia but not a lot of the saints do it so it
was really refreshing to hear about it yesterday. So to be honest apart
from that we really didn't do a whole bunch out of the usual this
week. We taught our investigators and we have 3 right now that are very
promising. Two are planning to be baptized and the other one will
shortly be given a baptismal date. So the work here is just moving
along fine. Also all of our new members are doing fine including Odmaa
who has got a calling. She has the calling of a greeter at the door and
is doing a wonderful job. So it has been a great week so far. So
little girls it is so great to hear from you again. Rachel, it sounds
like you are having a great time. Good luck on your big book. So also
good job on your grades. that is really impressive and you should be
proud of yourself. I know you are working so hard to get them and let
me just say congratulations. Also make sure to count all the sunflower
seeds for me you got. :) JK....Rowling. Can't forget that. Anyway
great job. So Caelen, good job on your grades too. it take a lot of
effort and hard work to get good grades. Good job. By the way, Caelen I
can't believe what I heard. Is my little nanny going to a
.....dance?!!!! What?!!! Is that even possible?!!! Are you old
enough?!!!! Stop growing up so quickly. :) Anyway good luck and I'm
so proud of you. So I like mark solomon and will not make you ask
anything from him but you may tell him that when I get home I plan on
beating him really bad in a game of ping-pong. So good luck and I hope
you have a great time. Also don't worry and be yourself. (I wish I had
taken my own advice a long time ago) :) So just relax and have fun at
the dance. SO little girls I love you and good luck in everything you
do and just remember, "those that be with us are more than those that
be with them." Always remember to choose the right and I love you.
Good luck!! Love Elder Williams
Kristalyn,
Sorry I can't write much but it has been great to hear from you. So
Kristalyn, just remember that the Lord can help you in anything you
need. One thing that we as missionaries always strive to do is be
filled with a love for the people we teach. In Moroni it states that we
the way in order to be filled with this love is to beg from god in
prayer to give us a portion of that love. I can testify that if we
truly beg and pray that he will give it to us. So if you are having a
hard time with people just pray to god to love them and he will help you
overcome all your weaknesses. Also good luck with your car. I wanted
to drive it but it is okay, I will drive you future car. :) Good luck
with everything and I love you. Love Elder Williams
Tell Becky I love her.Tell her sorry I wasn't able to write to her.
Tell her good luck and just keep on getting her perfect grades.
