Dear Little Sisters,

    It sounds like you are all doing so well.  I always love to read your email because it is your mail that makes my day.  Well it sounds like you are all just being your good old self.  Keep it up.  well, Caelen, I hope that you are waiting patiently because bi buuh boloogui or in other words I am not just finished yet.  I hope that you are doing well down in the rainforest of Cedar City.  Also I could tell that you say that new movie by just looking at the little pictures you sent me.  You always did like little yellow things.  Remember how you liked rubber ducks for a while?  Or was that someone else.  Well don't mess up your new dress too much.  You should make a metal one.  But the thread might need to be a little thicker.  :)   So Rebecca, I hope that you get better because school is coming up.  Well you and your salsa dancing self you.  You are so popular.  I can't believe it.  My little shy Beppy going salsa dancing?  I hope that you didn't break your friend's feet.  :)  That is cool that you were able to go and do the bridal shower with Courtney.  That is really good and way to be supportive.  You can pass on to Courtney that I wish her the best of luck and though I don't think I will be able to make it to anything that I still am so proud of her.  Well of course you played well.  I don't think that you miss notes on the piano.  By the way you might need to wait a little while for me to learn some of our old duets.  It has been a while.  So Rachel,  I heard that you had a swimming party in the window well this last week.  Who did you invite?  As long as there were no boys than I give you permission.  I hope that no sharks bit off your little toes.  Or are they bigger than they used to be?  Hey don't worry about highschool.  People may occasionally throw trash at you but all you have to do is just run.  They don't run that fast.  :)  No actually highschool is great and you will have a lot of fun.  Always remember to rely on the Person that can help you through everything.  He can help you.  Besides once you join the football team you will be really popular.  I always knew you would be a good quarterback.  :)  well little sisters I love you and keep up the good work.  Love Elder Williams.

Dear Kristalyn, 

   It is great to hear from you and thanks for praying for me.  It is just coming so fast.  I can't believe it.  I only have three sundays left.  It will be interesting to fly into St. George.  I actually thought that I would be flying into Salt Lake.  But it shouldn't be too bad.  Especially if I have Grandma to talk to on the way down.  Well this week I have really tried shuu.  I have figured out that I just need to continue working and then everything will be great.  So that is so cool that you got a piano.  I hope that I can play a duet with you every once and a while.  That should be fun.  So you can read about my week in the other email and all of the fun things that I have done this week.  It sounds like you are all just getting ready for school.  Man talk about a hard next month.  I am going to be so tired.  Oh well.  Anything for the Lord.  So I am so proud of you just doing well in your new life.  Of course it isn't that new but I am so glad that you are starting your eternal family the way you are.  You are such a good role model for me and all of your little sisters.  Keep up being a great sister.  So I really don't have too much more to write but just know that I love you and that I am working hard to the very end.  Thanks again for your prayers.  Well I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams  PS.  I'm sorry that my emails are getting a little shorter but there really isn't that much to say that I haven't said already.  It isn't that the work isn't boring but I just don't know what to write anymore.  

Dear Mom and Dad,

   This week has been really good and we are having a great time.  I actually got a new companion for my last several weeks here.  His name is Elder Mainbayar and he is a really good Elder.  We are working really hard and have managed to meet with quite a few people this last week.  So also this week we are teaching a little 15 year old from Kazakhstan named Lashkaa.  She is really good and is living with her member relatives.  She really likes the plan of salvation and explained to us (in a little bit broken Mongolian because she speaks Kazakh) how her mother died when she was little.  She also really misses her because she cried for a minute or two.  The only thing that might come in as a problem would be her families religious beliefs and they are not Buddist but I think they might very possibly be Muslim.  But the Kazakh's don't seem to be that strict about the whole rule thing and so hopefully with her uncle's support who is also a kazakh member she will do just fine.  So other than that there hasn't been a whole lot that has happened this week other than the normal missionary work.  Hopefully I will be here for Lashkaa's baptism but I really have no idea.  It sounds like you are all doing well back home and have had a chance to relax a little more.  I'm so glad to here about your scan mom and I am so thankful for Heavenly Father giving us this wonderful blessing.  Thanks for telling me all about the card thing.  I did get the card and I also got your package.  It was really nice to get and well all of my companions have really been surprised at the CD that the girls made.  We listen to it all the time.  I am glad that I was able to get that and also get the cute card and also Kristalyn's wedding invitation (a month late)  Well I probably won't be writing too much this week because we are going to the countryside on an exchange later today.  Well I love you two so much and wish you the best of luck.  Love Elder Williams

PS.  I am surprised they have our flight plans out already and I hope that isn't real about me being 27 hours in San Francisco.  I could really just drive home from there.  Thanks for helping me out Mom and Dad.  Love you   Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,

   It sounds like you are all doing really well.  I hope that you are all enjoying your last several weeks of summer.  Well Caelen, I am glad that you were able to be in a movie with your horse.  Did you kill any orks while you were going?  I bet you destroyed them and also managed to make a big tower fall down.  Is that true?   Also Caelen if you consider sitting on a camp chair trying to stay warm by huddling in your jacket dancing around a fire naked than yes I did do that.  :)  Just want to make you smile.  Also great job on staying on your horse.  That is sometimes how life is.  You just have to hang on.  Well Rachel, it sounds like you are doing well and that you are throwing down with your shotgun.  I'm curious, how many stormtroopers did you kill?  I bet you had a huge percentage.  I bet you even got to be one of the heros because you shot soooo well.  Hey always remember that if you stand up for some of your beliefs that people will listen.  Sometimes we just have to tell them straight up that their Heavenly Father would not be proud of them saying that stuff.  Sometimes people forget that he is there and that is the biggest problem with most people.  So great job and keep up being your strong self.  SO Becky yes I will enjoy my head and my aaruul.  It is really good.  (Ok I might have lied a little bit but sometimes there are some good pieces.  I don't really like the ears though.)  I'm glad that you can finally relax and be able to get back to normal because when I get back things won't be so normal anymore.  Enjoy not being tickled while you can!!!!  :)   Well thanks for being a good helper to Kristalyn and you truly are a wonderful example.  SO little girls I will give you one quote before I go.  "Life is like a coin.  You can spend it anyway you want it, but you only have 1."  Keep up being great and I love you all so much.  Love Elder Williams 

Dear Kristalyn,  It is so great to hear from you and see that you are having a great time.  I'm sorry that a little bit of your honeymoon was ruined to strep throat but I know you will be alright.  I have heard a lot about how you are doing and it sounds like you are having the time of your life.  I'm once again so proud of you and am glad that you are my sister.  Well thanks for preaching to me.  It was nice and does make me feel like I am still kind of normal.  I have been having a lot of dreams lately about going home and just what I am going to do.  I have to be honest and say that I really can't wait to get home and hug you all but at the same time I know that if I don't try my very hardest this last transfer I will regret it the rest of my life.  So it is a hard balance of being excited and trying to forget the fact that I am going home pretty soon.  I am proud to say that I am not trunky and am working really hard.  If you don't understand the word trunky you can ask Rhett or your husband.  He will know.  (Wow it is really weird to be able to tell one of my sisters to ask her husband).  So other than that things are going really god.  We are teaching a girl from Kazakstan and she seems to be understanding the gospel really good.  She doesn't speak Mongolian perfectly but well enough that she understands everything we teach her.  She is really good and I hope that I can be there for her baptism.  I think I will be able to make it.  So I can't wait to swap Yu-Gi-Oh cards with Rhett.  It will definently be fun.  Well I probably won't be writing a lot in the next several weeks but you just know that your brother is trying his hardest and please pray for me to continue to work really hard.  Thanks and I love you.  Love Elder Williams 

Dear Little Girls,

   It is so nice to be able to hear from you this morning.  It has been really cool to know that you have helped Kristalyn sooo much.  You have been a helper in God's hand in getting Kristalyn an eternal family.  So this week has been good but you can read about it in the other larger email.  So Caelen, I hope that your feet don't hurt to bad because I wouldn't want those little piggy toes in pain now.  :)  I am impressed by your scripture reference you shared with me and may I say that you have been a big hand in those "small and simple things".  I hope that you are enjoying being with Uncle Mike and Aunt Beck and Logan.  Family is so precious and we should try and enjoy every moment we have with them.  Well I didn't really wrestle but I was able to watch the opening of Naadam and see the big wrestlers go out.  You think the superbowl is big in America.  On the last wrestling match of Naadam the streets are silent because every body is in watching it on there TV's.  It was funny because we walked outside and there was literally nobody on the streets.  Well I think that you should spell your nickname nainii because that is how they spell it in Mongolian.  So Rachel....mm...mm.mm. ..............HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR RACHEL!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!.....WHISTLE WHISTLE.......BOOM BOOM (FIREWORKS) .  So you are now 15.  You are so old yum baina!!!!  Hey good luck up at girls camp and make sure to eat plenty of smores.  Wow I haven't eaten those in forever.  Well you are the best littliest sister in the world and even though I am a little late I hope that you had a wonderful birthday.  Rebecca, I am glad that you could help Kristalyn so well and I am thankful for your example to.  I am so glad that you can spend some time with your cousins and your little sisters.  They look up to you soooo much and you are really a good example for them.  Well keep taking naps for me and sleep next time for 4 hours.  You are a great girl.  So little sisters you are all so awesome and just keep up the great work and before you know it you will be in the celestial kingdom.  Good luck.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,

    Congratulations.  As a brother sitting here in Mongolia, I have many different emotions right now.  All of them are good.  I guess one would be just how proud I am of you.  You did it!!!  You have completed several other steps down the path of the plan of salvation.  You are closer than ever now.  Now it only takes one thing and you are well aware of that.  Enduring to the end.  I'm not going to preach to you about enduring to the end considering that you are a member.  But I would at least like to write my thoughts about it.  Obviously enduring to the end will be a little hard.  But if we trust in the one we know suffered for us we can do it a lot more nicely,  When I endure the end I want to be beat up and bruised and dusty and bleeding and the only reason I say that is because I feel like if I didn't try my very hardest I wouldn't be worthy of eternal life.  Now obviously we aren't talking about actual beatings but I want to go to my heavenly father and say "I tried and even though I wasn't perfect, I did try"  I think that you will do fine in your marriage and know that if you continue down the correct path you will make it.  I am so proud of you.  I am also so grateful that you were able to go through the temple and make for yourself those sacred covenants.  I know that you will slowly begin to understand things more little by little.  The peace of the temple is something so beautiful.  To be completely honest, it was the temple that kept me going on my mission when I learned everything about mom.  It was there that I felt that the Lord would take care of my family while I was away.  And he has.  More than I could imagine.  He has blessed us so much and I don't know why other than just to say that he loves us and is with us every step of the way.   So continue to go to the temple and I can't wait to be able to go with you when I get back.  I really want to go again.  I have forgotten so much.  Well lastly I would just like to say that you don't even know the joy that went through me when I read your email.  One of my own family members is one step closer to the celestial kingdom.  That is what I am trying to get people to do everyday and so often they don't listen.  Our goal is not baptism but is truly the temple.  So I am so proud of you and because everything went so well you may take that for a sign from God that you have done the right thing.  You keep up being great and well I hope to be able to see you and your future family.  It is kind of funny.  My whole family has changed while I have been gone.  Every one is moving through life differently now.  I am a little scared to come home to be honest.  MY whole life has been dedicated to going on a mission.  That is what I have thought since I was a little baby.  If I could make it on a mission my life was good.  But now it is almost over and I don't know what to think.  Back there I have no purpose or goal anymore or that is at least how I feel.  It is like my life is kind of ending or at least that is sometimes how I feel.  I am working really hard here still.  I am trying not to think about going home.  But I do every once and a while I do and well I am not sure what to do.  But I have had specific feelings inside that have revealed to me something that was really neat and i want to tell you that there is a reason that you were the first to come into the family.  You have always kind of been the pioneer and it is your example that I am learning from right now.  I know it was not coincidence at all that you are the oldest.  Keep it up and know that the Lord has set you in your family for a very specific reason and now I have just found out one.  I love you so much and well have a great time.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,
How did you know that it was Children's Day? Well it was really
fun to see all of the Mongolians go out with their children and ride
little bikes all over the place. Talk about a lot of balloons.
Unfortunately it was really hard on missionary work due to the fact
that everyone was gone. So that was really kind of fun. So I am
actually kind of blown away at all of the marriages going on in the
family right now. It is kind of like everyone decided to do it all at
one time. So when is Cameron getting married? :) Well I admit with
everyone getting married it does feel really weird for me. Mom, I'm
glad that you are getting better. I'm sure that must be a little
rough. Well speaking of the weather today is sooooo windy. There
were pieces of gravel flying down the road. I could also barely see
as I was jay walking the city street because of all of the dust in
the air. So Dad, you kind of mentioned Elder Naef last week and well
the transfers came out this week and I am leaving Khailaast and going
to the Enkhtaivan ward where I will the Zone leader with Elder Naef.
So that is some news for you. My companion is also going and he will
go to the countryside. So I will be with Elder Naef for the last
three months of my mission. Enkhtaivan is also the sigh language ward
so I will probably learn a little bit of Mongolian sign language. I
already get the idea of it and I can spell any word in it but I don't
quite know all of the words. So that is some new stuff. Well our
baptism actually went really well and our investigators mother came.
So Namuun and Dulguun are sisters and now we are working with their
mother. We actually have a family home evening with them tonight and
we are going to show the restoration movie. It should go really well.
All of our new members are really sad that we are going but I don't
think they know how sad I am. I am truly just beginning to realize
just how much I will miss Mongolia and the people. It almost hurts to
have to go in a few months. It will be hard to go. Well the week has
gone fine so far and i hope that you get the air conditioner fixed.
It is kind of neat that Kristalyn is getting married at the St George
temple. I really kind of like that temple. Well Mom and Dad, I love
you both so much and I hope that you have a great week. Love Elder

Dear Little Sisters,
So it sounds like all of you are having a great summer so far.
I'm having a pretty good one to except for the wind outside right now.
SO I am going to a new area called Enkhtaivan. It should be fun
especially because I will be able to learn a little Mongolian Sign
language. Well we had our baptism on Friday and it went really well.
All together we had four baptisms on Friday at our building which
hasn't happened for a long time. Well Caelen, great job on the
repelling. Also don't worry to much about a crowded pool. You could
be one a bus where someone you can feel the person in front of you
breathing and feel the vibrations while they are talking. Yeah I have
gotten used to a few things here. Well take a lot of naps for me.
and stay up late too. Rachel, I bet you absolutely jumped down those
cliffs. You probably don't even need the ropes. You will just kind
of dash down it right? I hope that you slept in after watching that
movie. It sounds like you are having a great summer and make sure to
eat cobbler for me too. Well Rebecca, if you don't know the side of
the screw driver you have to use has a little metal piece at the end
which fits into this little metal thing called a screw. :) Next week
I will describe the hammer for you. :) Wow I haven't had a good
hamburger in a while. I can't wait to see make one for me> :) So I
am sure you are having a busy week. Just don't have a mental break
down. That is probably not a good thing. Well as my companion says
so often to the sisters in broken English you are the woman!!! So
you all are soooo good and keep up the great work. i love you all and
good luck. Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
   It looks like all of you are having a good time getting ready for
everything.  I wish you the best of luck.  So don't worry about
thinking about making me homesick.  Of course I remember home but I
don't get home sick too easy anymore.  I really just kind of want to
talk to you guys.  You guys are doing a whole bunch of fun things and
I hope that you continue them when I get home.  But even if you don't
I have plenty of things that I am thinking about doing.  Well say
hello to Rhett for me.  I guess our relationship has definentely
gotten better now.  :)  So a funny story this week. baigaa l daa
gehdee bi can't remember them.  Well don't worry about it you will
hear plenty of stories in a few months.  I am just beginning to
realize just how much I will miss Mongolia.  It almost feels like when
I leave that my heart will rip,  I have grown to love these people
soooo much.  Well mouse hasn't eaten hardly any cheese but he did have
blood soup.  Does that count?  :)  Well I love you and keep up being
you.  Love Elder Williams

 
Dear Mom and Dad,

   So it sounds like you all had a busy week.  Well so first I will describe my week.  So this week we had Zone conference which was really fun.  But the night before that we went to see a really cool Mongolian cultural program.  But right as we were going off to go to the theater place my school called me and informed me that I had forgot to give a test that day.  Well I did forget but I was really never supposed to give it at all.  If I said that my school sometimes lacks common sense it wouldn't be very Christlike but sometimes I just have to be honest.  Well anyways we smoothed things over and went to the program.  It was an amazing program and I saw so much talent.  The have so many wonderful musical talents and especially the murun huur.  Well it was really good and also I saw a black guy at it.  That was rare.  Well on Thursday we went to Zone conference and it was sad because it is our president's last zone conference.  It will be weird serving the last few months of my mission under a different mission president.  Oh well.  So after Zone conference we ran over to the church and we had our baptism.  I had the privilege of baptizing our investigator and it was a really good spiritual baptism.  Well on Saturday, our other investigator passed the baptismal interview and will be getting baptized this next week.  We are going through a really good successful time right now here in the Hailaast branch.  Well that was pretty much my week and we are just having a great time here in Mongolia.  Transfers are coming up within a few weeks or two so we are just kind of waiting to see what will happen there.  Well it sounds like your week was really quite an ordeal.  Mom good luck on the shingles.  I will be praying for you and I hope that it heals quickly.  I also read Elder Packer's talk a few days ago and was really impressed by his testimony.  He is a great man and he truly knows that the Lord lives.  Well it sounds like Dad had quite a trip up north.  I admit I was a little jealous to know that you ate at Chili's but I realized that I will have kfc in a few months.  So I will have to talk with Elder Naef about that whole thing.  that sounds really cool and I forgot to tell you that yes he did come back.  But he won't come home until November.  Right before thanksgiving.  It really is a small world especially of those involved in Mongolia.  He actually is from the portland area and though he doesn't know Uncle Mike and Aunt Beck he is familiar with their town.  Well I hope that all of you have a great week and I love you.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,
    Well it sounds like all of you are having a great week so far.  You all are really awesome and let me just say that it is a joy to get your email every week.  The letters from family really do make the week great.  So it is raining right now and I am just wondering how I am going to go outside and not get too wet.  I didn't bring my umbrella.  :(   Well other than that there is nothing to new.  Oh I did get to baptize my investigator this last friday.  That was really great to see.  Well you can learn about the rest of my week in the other big email to mom and dad.  Well Rachel, I guess you are not into the whole field day thing. I think that you would throw down if you went and did high jumping though.  Should have done it.  :)  Good job on the awards ceremony.  I remember I got an award too but I have no idea what it was.  Something stupid baih. (I'm sorry but I thought this sentence in my mind and so I had to write it out.   The baih means probably)  Man I wish you could send me a blizzard but unfortunately that isn't an option.  Well you sound like you are your good ol' new self and I always new that you were going to be a famous artist.  You got it!!  Well Caelen, it sounds like your week was awesome because you didn't have school.  By the way when I saw the word afgan I had absolutely no idea what it was.  Now I remember though.  Well I can't wait for a home made hamburger but don't think that is distracting me.  Well I will try to get an eagle for you but the only problem is I don't have enough money to get it a seat on the airplane.  Well thanks for the picture of the snowflake.  It remind me of most of my time here in Mongolia.  well Rebecca, do you know where crocodiles live?  ......yeah in Africa......then why in the world are you in Provo Utah?!!!!   That camel comment put a grin on my face.  yeah I didn't know that you could run that far.  Were you in a wheelchair?  :)  Well I have to throw a few comments back myself.  Well it sounds like you are doing great work up at Provo .  Keep up the great work.  Well I love you little girls and always remember this really cool quote  (let see if you understand it first)  "Earth's crammed with heaven and every common bush afire with God, but only he who sees takes off his shoes"  Elizabeth Barrett Browning.  Please tell me you understand it.  Well I love you all and have a great week.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,  So this week has been pretty good.  I had the opportunity to baptize our investigator named Serjmydag and that was really nice to be able to see.  It also rained quite a bit this week and in fact it is raining right now.  Well you can learn about the rest of my week in my other letter.  Well first to answer your questions.  So I am almost done with class.  I gave the 2 tests today and have to give one more.  Well speaking of this whole english thing I had a moment that reminded me of the atonement.  After I graded one of the tests and gave the students his grade I had one of my students come up to me and beg for just three points because he really wanted to go from an 82 to an 85.  Well he was really insisting me and insisting me and well I didn't know what to do.  To be honest he is a really good student and he is really humble but he just doesn't know any english because he was raised in the countryside and hasn't really had the chance to get a good education.  At first I was just trying to be honest and told him that sorry that was his bad luck but as I was sitting there I realized that this is just like Jesus Christ and our lives.  There is no way in the world that we can get a one hundred percent on the test of life.  and the only way that we will ever make a passing grade is if we rely on the Lord and his grace.  So being merciful I gave him just 3 points.  It was a really interesting moment for me.  Well the easiest way to get closer to the Savior is just to remember Him.  I feel like that is the beginning.  And then accepting His will.  You are really a great example and don't every worry about your wedding.  Well I hope that you are doing well and that your whole wedding is coming together.  I know that you will be fine and I can't wait for a few more pictures.  Well you have a great week and just remember that when I do come home I want a big taco salad waiting for me withing the first week.  (Or really just cheese in general.  They don't eat any cheese here)  Well I love you and keep up the great work.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,

  Well this week has been pretty good for me.  Just kind of surviving the heat and snow of Mongolia at one time.  It sounds like your week has been pretty good.  So Caelen, it sounds like you are doing great.  Hey that is absolutely awesome on the end of levels math thing.  I have never been able to pull that one off.  You are the man......well...sort of.  (To be honest that is like one of the only movie quotes that I am remembering right now)  that is so cool.  I know that you were a math genius.  So that fact that you and Rachel moved out of your old room is kind of shocking me in the first place but good luck on painting up your old room. By the way, just what has happened with my old room?  Has it become the family nap room or something?  Just curious. well keep up being your great self my young padawan.  Before you know it you will be a jedi master.  Wow that is cool.   well Rachel, you sound like a genius too.  Since when did you guys get so smart?  :)  You will be smarter than me when I get back.  Well good job on the history test and you should go to biology because earth science is a really boring class and they just teach you everything you have learned since like 1st grade.  Biology isn't that hard you just have to read a little bit. No big deal.  I am sure that you are pumped for the summer.  Hey you guys have to promise me to send me a few pictures of all of you guys up at the family reunion.  I want to see how much of you have changed.  Please bi chamaas guij baina.  (I'm begging you)   or should I say (I you from begging am) Well I will try to send a few cool pictures myself.  Well Rebecca,  I didn't get your email for some strange reason but I did hear from dad that you are just working your little heart out.  Well keep up the great work up at BYU and before you know it you will be teaching your inexperience brother how to do everything and just where everything is on BYU.  I literally know nothing next to you.  Well I hope that all of you have a great day and keep up being the coolest little sisters in the world.  I love you.  Love Elder Williams 

Well Dear Kristalyn,

  You two look pretty good in your pictures. Good job and don't worry about the whole wedding thing.  Everything will work out.   It sounds like all of you are having a great time up in Provo.  The baseball game sounds amazing and I can't wait to go to a few games with you guys.  Well this week has been pretty normal for me except today I didn't have to teach English.  Oh we do have another baptism coming up this week which should be really cool and hopefully everything should go good there.  So I did bring some pictures today and I hope that I have some time to send them off to you guys.  Great stuff.  So it does rain a lot here in Mongolia.  So a quick story about rain.  Me and my companion were walking this week and as we came out of the church building the sky was soooo black.  My companion insisted that is was just dust in the air and that we would be okay.  So we go to the bus stop and I keep telling him that it is going to rain and he keeps telling me that nothing will happen.  Well as we are standing there it starts to rain a little bit and so we run into the store for shelter.  Well it doesn't rain and it stopped and so he smiles at me (kind of like the little I know I was right smile)  Well we walk back out and we are literally two feet from the door when this huge wall of rain just pummels the both of us and soaks the road in like 5 seconds.  So there is your story.  Well you are looking so great and keep up the great work.  I love you.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,    So this week has been really good.  Especially since I heard that there was going to be a temple built in Cedar City like half an hour ago.  One of the older couples turned and asked me "Hey do you know the elder that lives in cedar city?  and I turned and said "that's me!"  and then they told me.  I can't believe it.  I can only say that it will truly be a blessing in all of the lives of the people in that area.  I am sooooo excited.  And the I saw the picture and can say that it will truly be a beautiful site for all of the people in the valley.  I can't wait and if there are any developments I do expect a few pictures.  I haven't been able to hear conference so far but I will see it this next saturday.  And then there is a really huge thing that will be going on for a few days.  It is the 20th year anniversary of the church in Mongolia.  They have activities planned everyday and I hope to be able to see a lot of the things they will do.  It will be really fun.  Well this week was actually pretty cold and it just keeps snowing.  Not a lot but it still is that cold.  I can't wait for spring.  So we are still playing basketball every morning but it would be easier to play if we had iceskates on.  I have only slipped a few times so far.  Well this week we are still teaching our fantastic investigator.  Her name is Namuunaa and she bore her testimony in sacrament meeting yesterday.  That was really surprising.  We also are preparing a choir song for the 20 year anniversary and it is really good and it is so fun to be able to sing again.  I haven't really sung much the last two years.  Every once and a while.  But now we are practicing quite a bit and it has been really fun.  Well it sounds like General Conference was really fun to watch.  I really haven't heard much about America but that whole Supreme Court thing sounds really scary!!  I really pray that the Lord will keep America strong.  I guess the the world in general needs help.  Well I can't wait to go with you to Priesthood session next year Dad.  Well it is great to be able to email you guys and it dawned on me that in a month and a half we will all be talking again.  Well keep up the good work and good luck.  I love you both.  Love Elder Williams
 


Well Dear little girls,
    Well it sounds like all of you are doing fantastic.  Well I am so excited for the temple in Cedar City.  I know that it will truly bless the Cedar City area and I thank our Heavenly Father for allowing a temple to be built there.  Truly this is the Lord's work, for it can not be stopped.  The blessings involved in the building of a temple are truly magnificent and the reason why is that they are eternal.  The temple in a way is always a reminder to us that we are eternal and that this life's purpose is bigger than most people understand.  It shows us that we are progressing on a path so wonderful that we can not imagine what is at the end and to be completely honest there is not an end.  Eternal progression.  It is truly one of wonderful things about our loving Heavenly Father.  He will always help us to progress.  Well this week has been good but cold.  That has been the biggest problem is that the weather will not warm up.  It is really frustrating.  I am really sick of this whole cold weather thing.  Well it sounds like all of you had a pretty good week.  and the reason that is , is because of that huge grand finale at the end called conference.  I haven't been able to see it yet but I plan to see it next week.  I am so excited for it.  Well my investigator bore her testimony in sacrament meeting.  That was really cool to see.  Unfortunately our only problem is her parents but if we trust the Lord everything should turn out okay.  Rachel I hope that you get better.  Feeling sick can really be a downer some times but just remember that you are done with school in like a month and a half.  Well just keep up the great work Rachel and know that God loves you sooooo much.  (Also the rumor here is that if you eat wolf meat it will help you feel better.  I know that there aren't a lot of wolves in Cedar City but always remember Shylo does look pretty tasty.)   (Joke)  :)  Well Caelen, I admit that  I haven't seen pictures of the Land before time in a long time.  It was a great refreshing moment when I saw them.  Hey by the way just watch out for Sharpteeth.  They are all over the place.  Well I hope that you get better too.  It is really miserable being sick sometimes but on the bright side you got to eat cinnamon rolls!!!!  (I hope so)  Well Rebecca, it sounds like you are doing what I want to do.  Spaghetti to the face does sound like a great activity.  Let me just say that the birthday parties here sometimes end the same way.  Really annoying when you are in a suit coat.  Well keep up the great work up at BY of U.  You are doing great.  Well little girls have a great day and always remember that every cloud has a silver lining and every Darth Vader has a good side.  (I love cheesy lines)  I love you all and good luck.  Love Elder Williams


Dear Kristalyn,
  I am soooo excited for the temple in Cedar City.  Speaking of temples I don't want to intrude but I am a little curious.  Just say that you happened to get married in a few months (I am trying to make this sound unobvious)  what temple would you get married in?  Temples are such a wonderful blessing from our Heavenly Father.  I really wish I could be with you the first day that you went and received your endowment but know that once I get home we can both go to a session with the whole family.  Hey don't worry about anything Kristalyn.  I really believe that if you trust the Lord everything in you future will be okay.  Just tell that anxiety to hit the road.  (I realize that line was kind of like a cheesy Richard Simmons kind of line but it is the best I got)  That is soo cool about Derek and tell them congratulations from me.  They are helping God's children into this world.  Well I saw your picture.......................

............ and you both look great.  Don't feel like you need my approval in this relationship.  You've got it.   Well I hope that you have a great week and I love you soo much.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,
    So this week has been really good.  This week we managed to find three new investigators and all of them are really good.  One of them came to church and is friends with many people in the church and so it is working out really good.  The other was just one of the other people we found on the road and when my companion was first talking with her I thought that it wasn't going to go really well but later they are actually really interested.  It goes to show that the Lord puts his prepared people in the right places.  Well it snowed yesterday but other than that the weather is slowly getting better.  It is warm enough now that we are getting up and playing basketball every morning for exercise and it is so fun.  Actually today we played ultimate frisbee because the court was covered in snow and let me just say that it made the whole thing really interesting.  I think everyone fell.  Well we also got to hear the easter choir yesterday which was really nice.  Well other than that there wasn't anything to new this week.  Oh by the way that whole not clean apartment thing wasn't bad at all because well the guy completely understood me and there was no problem.  It did help that we cleaned the entire apartment before we met with him.  SO I learned something this week about humility.  I was reading that one of the characteristics of humility is how we need to be ready to give credit of things that happened to Heavenly Father.  Well I was thinking about this and I also realized that instead of giving credit to ourselves so often we give credit to something just being a coincidence.  I realized that there are many times that things aren't just coincidence and that one way to be humble is to remember who's hand is in our lives.  Just one of the many things I have to work on.  Well it sounds like things are finally turning into spring there.  I hope that you have some wonderful vegetables to show me this year.  So dad can you give me another week on that whole math thing.  If you can't go ahead and do what you feel is best.   Well I love you soooo much and I wish you all of the best of luck.  Love Elder Williams  

Dear Little Awesome Sisters,
    So it sounds like you are all doing fantastic.  So you can learn about my week in my other email.  Well, Rachel, it sounds like you had a really productive vacation.  By the way just how old are you getting?  Sometimes you sound older than you used to be.  Are you growing up?  :)  Stop!!!!  :)  Well that is so cool that you got a ribbon for your art competition.  You shuu!!!  You should just continue to practice you art.  Well you got a slushie?!  I haven't eaten one of those in forever.  But I did get to drink arts a few days ago.  Really good except for the fact that when I first got to Mongolia it tasted like baby throw up.  Well hey just keep up the great work and always remember that all of those people in your school are you brothers and sisters.  Just let your light shine before men.  Well Caelen,  your ring looks absolutely marvelous.  You really have a wonderful father.  Well you just keep up killing those kath hounds.  It am on the other side of the planet right now holding down the fort here but I expect any day an attack from the droid army stationed in Selenge.  So my young padewan you must destroy all of the hounds before I get there because when I come I will bring precious information about the war taking place on the degoba system.  :)  Well just to let a little bit of nerdiness out.  Well great job on the ceramics.  You have to send me a picture of your minion.  I really want to see it.  So Rebecca, I was worried when I read your email because I heard the phrase (By the way this following account is straight from your email (copy paste) (This is for evidence for the jury))  I went to my friend's house because he was holding a tin foil dinner party. Yes, I added the italics. and the bold.  and then here is the scariest part   you said you had a lot of fun.?!!!  What is this?!!! Are you dating and meeting with boys?!!!  HOW DARE YOU?!!!!                     

       :)   Just kidding I love you and well keep up the great work up at BYU.  Well keep up the great work and you are such a great example.  Well I love all of you and keep up the great work.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
  So this week has been pretty good.  It unfortunately snowed yesterday but the one of the good things is that we are still getting warmer.  Well one of the really good things is that you are doing well.  Don't stress out to much with finals coming up.  You can do it!!!  (Sorry that sounds really cheesy but in Mongolian they say it all the time)  Well I really wish I was there to see all of you enjoying yourself at the BYU volleyball game.  I am still a little nervous about thinking about going to college but when compared with  my mission I really can't say that it will be too much more stressful.  Actually with teaching English involved it might be more stressful.  Well I can't wait for it to be actually warm.  It sounds like Provo is really nice right now.  So the easter bunny didn't managed to make it here in Mongolia but we did here the easter choir last night.  That was pretty good and it was nice to just kind of sit back and relax and listen.  One of the things about the mission is that you are constantly going and you never have time to ever truly relax.  In the mission the idea is that the less you relax the more of an effective missionary you are being.  I'm glad that you have been able to learn a lot in church.  My branch is still learning that one of the keys to feeling the spirit is reverence.  Let me just say that when there are kids sprinting in the middle of the sacrament it makes it a little harder to concentrate.  WEll other than that things are going really good and it sounds like you are doing fantastic.  Well I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Mom and Dad,
     This week has been pretty good so far.  So this week has been pretty normal and well me and my companion are just running into people everyday.  We got a new investigator from Darkhan recently which seems like she will do really well.  Well this week has been full of English, baptismal interviews and many many other little things but all in all we managed to teach more lessons than we did the last several weeks.  So the week went okay.  Well other than that there is nothing new other than the fact that I learned an hour ago that I will be housing another two elders for the next week and a half.  Well that was out of nowhere.  So it sounds like your week is doing well.  It sounds like it is kind of fun to babysit.   Well I do agree that time is flying by way too fast.  This mission is definitely going by toooooo fast.  But I guess I will continue to work my hardest.  I really can't wait to have some bread sticks from Pizza Factory.  I admit that quite a few Mongolians food have also grown on me.  I will really miss huurshuur.  Well sorry there isn't much to write so next week I will write a little more.  Well I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams  


Dear Sisters,
 Uh, uh uh uh.  (me clearing my voice)  .........drum roll...............HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR REBECCA!!!!!!!!! HAPPY (please imagine harmony in this section) BIIIIRRTHDAY TOOOO YOUUUUU!!!!!  (now imagine a whole bunch of people yelling (whooooooo))  Happy Birthday Rebecca!!!  I can't believe that you are 19.  You are so old!!!  Next year you will be 20!!  Well that is so awesome!!! Well it sounds like you have had a little bit of a stressful week.  I hope that you are okay now and just know that all of that testing stuff will be over.  I also hope that you all had a wonderful time up at breakfast.  Just know that I was eating aruul over here for breakfast or sometimes tarag.  (flavorless yoghurt)  Actual pretty good.  Well other than that this week has been pretty normal.  Well keep up watching those movies for me and later just go ahead and try become like ironman for me.  I know you can!!!!!  You are soooo coooool!! Rebecca just keep up the good work and before you know it you will have lived for two decades.  Well Caelen,  my young padewan keep up the great work in the galaxy.  Before you know it you will have the universe at your fingertips.  I know that is cheesy  but it is a pretty cool line.  yeah so I can do the whole like build a ger thing but I am not so good at the whole throat singing thing.  Well it sounds like you are doing good on the whole last apprentice thing.  Great book series.  And keep up the whole like line drawing thing.  (I realize that sounds pretty stupid because everyone draws with lines)  (But you understand me)  Well keep up destroying the witches and you may use some of the force to do that.  Hey Rachel,  you are great.  Hey that whole lockdown thing sounds a little scary but I am sure that if he had come into the school that you could have just taken him down.  Nobody messes with Rachel.  Good job on that whole primary toys things.  I am sure that all of those little kids loved having clean toys to suck on.  By the way don't get too big into cage fighting now.  I don't want you hurting people when you go in.  Well also that whole science project sounds really good.  You rock!!!!! don't think that was too cheesy.  Well little girls I love you all and keep up the great work.  I love you.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
      So this week has been pretty good.  All of a sudden out of nowhere I have 2 new missionaries moving into my home.  SO I have to go and clean that up really good plus wash all of my clothes and let me just say that it made my day a little more stressful than before but the good thing is is that it should be fun.  Well yesterday was pretty weird because we met with an ALA who begged us for money and for a whole bunch of things.  It was really hard because he was really being persistent but I had already had decided to not buy things on the sabbath.  The one funny thing was that he told us that he would never come to church again and that he would tell the mission president.  But we caught him in his bluff when we told him that that was fine and that he should do it right away.  As we started walking away he called us back and asked us to come back and then he continued to beg from us.  Well other than that nothing much more has been happening.  Well it sounds like your week has been really interesting.  I hope that you get over sickness this next week.  I really wish that I could have been there at Denny's with you because I was probably eating something like rice with milk for breakfast.  Well we should hopefully have a baptism in the next few weeks.  Many many different things.  Well hey don't worry about that question last week I was just answering it.  Well other than that things are going normal as always.  Well I hope that Jordan is talking to you a lot.  Well I love you so much and good luck this next week.

Dear Mom and Dad,This week was a really good week. Well I did eat a lot more buuz
this week and let me just say that I am really sick of buuz right now.
I have eaten probably over 100 this week and I really don't even want
to really look at another one for like another week or two or month.
Well I went around in our deel for a few more days and then I stopped
because it really drew attention though most of it was good. Well
also my companion got a little sick on the last night we were eating
buuz so we went home a little early. Well you saw some of my
pictures. So my favorite one is probably the one with the sisters
just because I rarely get pictures with the sisters. Well I did sing
as an alto in our MTC group quartet of I am a child of god or Bi
Burhanii huuhed tul. Great song and it sounded really good. Well we
didn't have a ton of lessons this week but it was okay because we were
literally eating at everybody's house. Let me just say that having
somebody offer your a snuff bottle of tobacco on the bus is really
hard. We don't have to snuff it but you at least are supposed to
pretend to snuff it. And on a moving bus it is really hard. A lot
Mongolians think that we are russian so they will sometimes really
respect us and speak in Russian to us. Funnily enough the Mongolians
really respect the Russians in fact there is a statue of several of
the famous communist leaders in the city. Actually one of them just
recently disappeared. No one can really explain how a whole big
statue disappeared but it has. Well other than that we also had Zone
Conference this last week. That was really fun and I learned so much
about it especially the atonement. I always thought I understood the
atonement correctly but just recently I had to readjust my thinking of
it a little bit. Well that was a blast. The beginning of this week
was actually really warm but it just dropped again so who knows when
it will get warm again. I started teaching English again today. They
gave all of the really hard classes to me just because I guess they
figure I am young and I can take the rowdy classes. There are 2 older
couples that teach at my school too and they gave all of them my old
classes. Well it will be an interesting semester. The girl that I
failed didn't complain to me today and I think it is because she knows
that she really cheated. Well it was an interesting day today. Well
other than that there is really no other big news other than the fact
that a new mission president has been called. He served in Mongolia
in 1996 and so did his wife. They are both really young and have 4
little children. That should really be a change for the mission here.
Apparently since President Clark came to Mongolia on emergency notice
he will only be here for 2 years. Well other than that the news is
the same. Well it sounds like home is okay and I hope that the
missionaries ate plenty of food on my behalf because believe me, I
have eaten a lot on their's. Well it is so cool that you got to go to
the temple. I can't wait to go to the temple myself. Well this week
was really just Tsagaan Sar. Well I love you all and wish you the
best of luck. Love Elder Williams

Dear Little Sisters,
So this week has been really good and it has been so nice to be
able to read your emails. I love reading your emails every week.
Well you can read all about my tsagaan sar in the other email. Well
this week I learned a lot of different things about the atonement from
our mission president. I thought I had understood it correctly before
but I guess I really didn't quite understand it all the way. I had
always kind of thought that Jesus kind of like took the demands of
justice on himself for us but that isn't quite true. It isn't fair to
have 1 man die in place for another one and so this isn't satisfying
justice at all. (See Alma 34) I really want to explain it in this
email but it would fill my entire email. Also it is really hard to
understand at first but now I get it a little better. I would explain
more but just read like Alma 34 and think about how one man can't die
in place for another. It makes judgement look quite a bit different.
Anyways I am still struggling to comprehend it but the scriptures make
sense. Well sorry about that rant. Well Caelen, why are you so star
struck over a few missionaries that taught you how to tie a tie? I
can teach you how to build a ger but I don't see you talking about me
that way. Just kidding :) WEll keep up the good work. Rachel,
Congratulations!!!! You have finished the book of Mormon. Now the
question is have you tried Moroni's promise? Go ahead and try it. By
the way I hope that you buy me a blizzard when I get home because the
one thing that Mongolia is truly lacking is blizzards. Hey Rachel,
good luck on your sickness. Just sleep good and long and drink plenty
of liquids and get over it. Be thankful that you aren't here because
if you were you might have to drink your mother's......Well you can
figure that out. Well Rebecca, you are so popular!!!!!!!! yeah this
week was really warm. I was sweating so much when it got up to 8.
Yeah.....I mean it. :) Hey congratulations on being "pretty
productive" I am sure that movie pizza cookies and ice cream party
was like the most best thing you have ever done!!! Eat plenty for me.
Well I hope that you enjoyed Pride and Prejudice........kind of. How
is that movie even slightly entertaining? I think I would enjoy
myself more by watching you eat top ramen in slow motion.
YEah.....that boring. Toglison youm maa. Just kidding:) Well
little girls have a great week this next week and I hope that all of
you start feeling better. Love Elder Williams

Dear Kristalyn,
   Well the week has been good and you can learn about that in my
other email.  Let me just say that I ate way to much.  I think I also
ended up drinking some like Milk vodka but I am not too sure.  All I
know is that the older couple drank it first so I just followed right
after him.    Well I learned alot about the atonement this week.  SO
 I will tell you after my mission because it is way to much to write in an email. 
  I am really excited about it.  Well happy valentine's day.  I
finally told my english classes that I have a girlfriend or I at least
didn't deny the fact that I had one.  I did this just because it makes
it a lot easier in the classroom where you have a whole bunch of young
single adults.  Well english has started again and they have given me
all of the rowdy classes just because they don't want the older couple
missionaries to have to teach them.  The good news is that my school
will be getting a new missionary in the next few weeks so that will
really hopefully help my schedule.  Well other than that I am just
surviving the temperatures of Mongolia.  It actually got up to 8
degrees and boy that was actually pretty warm.  Well I love you and
just keep up the good work back at home.  I love you and good luck.
Love Elder Williams

So Dad and Mom speaking of Tsaagan Sar or White month it is today therefore with all of the internet places closed I won't be able to write a lot today.  I just wanted to tell you that everything is okay and that we are all just having a really good time.  I guess I will tell you about my day today.  So first me and Elder Flint went out to a member in the Sukhbaatar branch with a couple and a two sisters that are in my district.  It was really fun and we were there also kind of as translators.  Well that was really fun and me and my companion looked really good in our deels.  I will send some pictures of all of that next week.  Well after that we also were invited by a cute little family up on the top of a mountain where me and my companion once again did a little translating for another couple in our branch.  well it was really fun but in the end we ended up having to change a flat tire in really cold weather.  So the secret to changing a tire in below zero is just that........  changing it.  No one else is there to do it but you.  So anyways we got that changed really quickly and got back on our way.  This week is a little bit harder on the whole missionary side of things because during Tsaagan Sar it really isn't that acceptable to teach lessons and sometimes you can offend them by doing it.  Well that once fun anyways and me and my companion are really full right now.  Luckily we are kind of free the rest of the night so we are doing okay right now.  But if we had another we really would have exploded for sure.  Let me just say that those buuz despite how small they are, are really filling.  Well so far the count isn't that high but I will eat more.  I just don't want to have to resort to vomiting to make space for more food.  (Some Elder's do that or others just drink a lot of Coke)  Well there was a mongolian that said that if we drank Vodka it would help keep us healthy over Tsaagan Sar.  I'm not too sure about that.  Well don't worry, I don't plan on drinking any vodka.  Well sorry that the email is a little shorter right now but due to all of the hustle and the bustle we don't have a lot of time for a long email right now.  well I love you and just keep up the good work there in Utah.  Love Elder Williams   PS  It will eventually warm up.....or I am at least hoping that.   :)

 Sisters,
Hey I love you all and I can't write much this week due to white month holiday.  But you are all awesome and just keep up the smiling faces.  Love you and send you some pictures next week.
 
Kristalyn,
Yes you are my favorite older sister.  Sorry I can't write hardly any at all today due to today being white month holiday.  So don't worry I am doing fine and I am really saddened by our cousins unfortunate news.  Well I love you and just keep up being you.  Promise to write you more next time.

 Dear Mom and Dad,
So this week has been really good. So I got my new companion
named Elder Flint. He is really good and he is from Colorado but he
lived in Payson about a year before he came out on his mission. Well
he is actually taller than me and so that makes us the tallest
companionship in the Mongolian mission field. It is really funny
seeing the both of us being on a bus. Well also this week has been a
little warmer. We are starting to see a little bit of snow melt but
to be honest it will probably snow a little more before spring. Well
this week was good because we had one of our investigators come to
church. He is doing pretty good and he has a lot of church friends.
SO Mom asked me what I eat for breakfast and I would have to say the
it ranges from Cream of Wheat (In Mongolia they call it children's
rice) or eggs or maybe if I am in a good mood oatmeal. Every once and
a while we get cereal but that is pretty expensive here and the cream
of wheat stuff is dirt cheap. So that is what I eat for breakfast.
So speaking of Odmaa as far as I know she is doing well. She is
actually living in India right now but she should be coming back
pretty soon. After that if she did well on her tests she will try and
study in America or if she didn't do too well she will study in China
for a little while and then come to America. She told us that one of
her goals in life is to go to the Salt Lake Temple and knowing her it
is possible that she will get there. So the question is what kind of
suit should I make? I could get one custom made here for really
cheap. Speaking of that I actually found a woman that makes Mongolian
ties and she is making three for me right now. It is really
inexpensive and I thought Dad would want one so I went ahead and did
it. Well for some reason all of the things I did this last week are
kind of escaping my mind. Oh yeah so my Mongolian language is really
doing better with the Lord's help. He is really helping me. Right
now I actually am translating about every Sunday for the older
missionary couple in my branch. I translate from Mongolian to English
and then the returned missionaries from America translate from English
to Mongolian. It is just easier that way. So that has really showed
me that the Lord has really helped me. I'm still not perfect and
probably will never be but I'm doing pretty good. Iam sorry But
mykeyboard died.

 Dear Little Sisters,
  You are the shuu. You guys are truly good examples to all of your
friends. Just keep up the good work and remember bi ta nart hairtai.
(I love you both) Well this week has been pretty good and I have got
a new companion now named Elder Flint. He is doing really well and
this is my first companion that is actually taller than me. Well he
is doing really well and the both of us are the giants of the mission.
Well I will have to send you pictures of him later. The problem is
that this new really nice computer lab I am sitting in doesn't seem to
have that many flash drive outlets so anyways maybe next week. Well I
am still in my old area so that is great. Well it sounds like your
week was pretty good this week. Caelen I am so proud that you have
finished your time with Noen Corry. (yeah that's right, I wrote it in
Mongolian) :) I bet you were totally freaking out during the test.
Well it wasn't as hard as you thought right? Now just take the test
and you will have a license. I can't wait for you to drive me around
when I get home. Everyone kind of has a different driving style and I
can't wait to see yours. Well ceramics sounds really great. And that
whole guy thing sounds really interesting. Just don't talk to him for
the rest of your life. :) So the whole Geo cashing sounds really
fun. I really will enjoy those more often now that I literally walk
everywhere. I look so funny in the mirror now. I am soooo skinny.
It is so weird. I feel like Big Bird. Anyway I just barely
remembered the jack frost game and can't wait to play it again with
you. That was really fun you and me just kind of having stupid fun on
the computer. Well Rachel, I am so glad that you have survived
coming back to school. That sounds really great. That sounds so
cool that you just watched movies all day long. I haven't done that
in well....a long time. Just make sure to get Shylo to curl up on the
couch next to you. WEll I hope the whole Romeo and Juliet thing was
good. I never really liked Shakespeare but I heard a few of his plays
are good. Something like that. Well that whole movie thing is really
good of you. SO many people fall into a trap of spiritual
insensitivity to things like that. I'm glad that you understand but
we always, always need to watch out for things like this. It will be
a battle our entire lives to try and now what is good and what is
wrong. Well I love you little girls sooooo much and just want you to
know that you are truly really great. Well bayartai and amjilt husie.
 (Good bye and good luck) PS. I am getting pretty good at mongolian.
 (with the lord's help)

Kristalyn,
Well I was able to write a little bit more to you it seems like.  Well
thank you for writing me and I really appreciate you.  It sounds like
you are really having a good time up there right now.  I will try and
send some really good pictures next week.  I am writing from my new
companion's english sponsor so I will probably always be writing a
little earlier now.  Well I don't know if rebecca will email me in
time but if she doesn't just tell her that I love her a lot.  Anyways
I really can't wait to come and chill with you when I get home.  Also
great job on playing bingo with old people.  I have really come to
enjoy old people ever since I have come into the mission field and
been around the older couple missionaries. Of course they aren't that
old but it is still really fun to talk with them.  My personality has
actually changed in that way and I really have become to enjoy talking
with people.  Well I love you soo much and keep up the great work up
and BYU.  I know that you are doing a wonderful job.  Good luck and I
love you. Love Elder Williams

 Dear Mom and Dad,
    So this week has been really good and well before I talk about your crazy week I will talk about my good week.  So the good thing is I finally have a good language story for you.  Well we were talking about prophets to one of our new investigators.  (By the way he is the one whose car we pushed for a mile)  Anyways my companion was trying to teach about how a prophet needed to have authority from god.  So he asked the question so can anyone just be a prophet?  Well the investigator said,  well if I ever see this prophet guy I will fight against him i won't be put into slavory in fact I might even kill him!!!  How does that sound!!!  Well at this moment my companion's mouth opened wide and well lets just say that I was also a little flustered.  how did our lesson go soooo wrong.  Well I noticed that as he was talking he used the word slavery.  Well I then realized that he had mistaken what my companion said and that instead of prophet he heard the word enslaver.  Well so we taught our investigator that God calls people to enslave others every dispensation.  Well luckily we caught it and we fixed it.  The lesson ended well but lets just say that it was really interesting at the beginning.  Well other than that it has warmed up quite a bit here lately.  the really cold Mongolian winter hasn't really hit this year.  Well that was really good.  So it sounds like your week was a little stressful this last week.  I'm so glad to hear that Mom is still cancer free.  That is such a relief.  Well it truly showed me that the Lord's hand is in all of your lives.  Well the whole van thing sounds like that was really fun.  I have only been in a few minor accidents here and let me just say that Mongolians really know how to drive on ice.  Well that is really cool that we have a new member in the ward.  I really appreciate people like you dad who do their callings every week in teaching sunday school.  Or even if you are just filling in for someone else it really helps.  Well I was really touched by the whole thing with Mom and the other sister.  It made me realize a few things.  I won't write all of them but let me just say that Mom you are a blessing to all of those who are going through what you did.  It also made me realize that we truly are the Lord's disciples.  We are the ones to pass his light to others.  this week has really had me thinking about how the Lord is our light.  Through him we are saved.  But even though he has suffered for everyone's sins he has not eliminated our own loyalty to him.  By following his commandments we are truly able to be saved.  Jesus is the Christ, and i am so grateful that I can represent him here in the land of Mongolia.  I told Grandma how strange it is to think that Cameron is coming home soon.  It makes me realized just how fast time passes and how we need to always be a good example.  It also is making me realize just how much I will miss the land and especially the people of Mongolia.  I love them so much.  Well if you see cameron just say hello to him from me and tell him to practice any gaming skills he can because let him know that I have plans to bring back a few games from Mongolia.  Well he truly was a good example for me in going on a mission.  Well I love you all so much and continue to be a wonderful example of being a family living by the principles that our Savior has given us.  Well I love you sooooo much and good luck.  Love Elder Williams


So dear little sisters,
  So lets just say that having our mini van wrecked is one of the last things I expected to hear from you but you know, it did make things exciting.  Well that sounds really interesting.  so we got in a bus accident one time.  Nobody was hurt but it did put a pretty good size dent in the car it hit.  The ice here is really funny.  you will see the bus drive into the station and the front tires slide like ten feet.  It is really slippery here.  It does make things interesting and lets just say that Mongolians really can drive well on ice.  I fell for the third time by the way.  It was coming down an icy road on a mountain and before i knew it I was looking up at the smoky sky.  Well it made things interesting.  Well it was really cool this last week.  We are having a little bit of a warm up.  To be honest all the Mongolians were saying that this was going to be one of the coldest winters in a long time but it really hasn't been too bad so far.  It is actually warmer than last year.  Well Caelen I hope that you are doing well with heir corry.  I promise that it is a little scary at first but in the end it was actually nice.  I also kind of like watching other kids mess up.  :)  Well good luck on ceramics.  I sure you will kick my trash in ceramics.  I still remember how one of my pots could be used as a dumbbell.  Well I think that you will do wonderful in ceramics. Well don't worry about it being short.  A lot of my emails are the same way.  Well Rachel it sounds like the house really had a make over this last week.  Did you take a picture of the old mini van after it was hit?  That would be really cool to see.  Well I have to admit I am so proud of your scores on your math test.  You are becoming so intelligent.  You really are growing up into a little intelligent woman.  Just keep up the good work and remember that I was really bad at getting 4.0s.  But i was really good at getting 3.9s.  Well girls it will make it nicer if you either of you ever have to back up the new mini van.  You shouldn't hit any little innocent dogs on the street sides.  :)  Well Girls I love you so much and just remember that we have a light to show to the world.  And light is the light of Jesus Christ.  Always remember who your saviour is.  His light shines in both of you little girls and always remember to have this light in you.  Jesus Christ truly is the light and life of the world.  Never forget that.  Well girls have a wonderful week and know that it is getting warmer here. So I won't freeze gesen ug.  Well I love you and good luck.  Love Elder Williams

Dear Rebecca, 
  You said it right.  Today was a lot warmer.  I could actually have my head out of my hat.  Well it sounds like your semester is going to be a blast.  And you and your dates.  you are really becoming a dater.  Are you the same anymore?  :)  Well I haven't warm my boots at all this last winter just because they were so annoying but let me just say that I can't wait to use them back in America.  Well I am sure you looked great bowling.  How often did you get strikes on the other person's lane?  ;)  Well this week I have really been contemplating just how Jesus is the light of the world.  He truly is our light and it is only through him and our faith in him that we can return to live with Heavenly Father.  Well always remember that you have his light in you.  Always remember that you are a disciple of Jesus Christ.  You are his follower.  You are a wonderful sister.  I am thankful everyday that I was able to grow up with you.  You might not of realized it but your patience with me and going outside and throwing a football around really was appreciated.  You are soooo good.  Keep up being showing the light of Christ to the world through your wonderful example.  well I love you sooo much and good luck with your new semester.  Love Elder Williams


Dear Kristalyn,
    You are such a good example for me.  I am so thankful for you and your patience with me when I was with you.  I hope that when I come back that we can just laugh as we used to.  I am also thankful for your wonderful example to others and it is possibly your hard working personality that has given me an opportunity to work at Byu.  Well that whole working out thing sounds good.  Well the workouts in the morning with my companion are definitely doing the same thing for me.  Well I am \ a lot skinnier than I used to be.  It fact most people don't believe just how much weight I have lost.  i am under 200 pounds.  I was over 200 in middles school.  yeah that skinny.  Well so about the whole money thing don't worry about it right now but with in the next month or two I am going to start collecting so more stuff.  I can get you some really good little stuff but in order for you to get the really cool stuff you might have to give me a little for yourself.  Well you kind of tell me what you might want and I will see if I can get it for you.  Well I love you and good luck with everything.  Love Elder Williams
