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

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

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
